The major objective of this study was to investigate theinfluence of six months dance intervention program on the levelof functional fitness and postural stability in the elderly.The exercise program was carried out three times a week andincluded 60 dance exercise sessions. 60 elderly participated inthe study (67.5±5.69 years), 30 in a dance intervention group(weight: 70.32±13.59kg; BMI 25.95±3.79 kg/m2), 30 in a controlgroup (weight: 76.93±15.45kg; BMI 27.06±3.88 kg/m2). Threesubtests (6Min Walk Test, Chair Stand Test, 8 Foot up and GoTest) were used to determine the level of functional fitnessfrom the Senior fitness test battery; the static posturographymethod assessed the level of balance abilities in one position.The most meaningful results to emerge from the data are thatthe intervention dance program led to a post-exercise increasein the level of agility, dynamic balance and reaction speedmeasured by 8 Foot up Go test in the intervention group. Theresults indicate a statistically significant difference valuein the intervention group compared to the control group betweenpost-test results (p=0.01). Values of the other monitoredparameters were not statistically significant. The Cohencoefficient d reflects the low (8 Foot up and Go test, 6 MinWalk test) or medium value (Chair Stand test) of theintervention program's effectiveness. Our study suggests, thatintervention dance program could significantly improve thelevel of agility, dynamic balance and reaction speed.
