Dancesport is increasing its popularity and it becomes to be considered as a real sport. Few studies are available about the physiological strain of dancesport competitions: moreover, recent changes in the official rules make it mandatory to revise our knowledge about the specific physiologic demands during competition. The aim of our study was to evaluate physiological parameters in top-level dancers.
Twelve competitive dancesport couples (12 Latin-American and 12 Standard dancers) composed the study population. The first testing session was aimed at determining physical and physiological characteristics of athletes in laboratory; the second, at establishing physiological responses during simulated competition on field, involving the measurement of O(2) uptake (VO(2)), heart rate and blood lactate (BL).
Male dancers showed a peak-VO(2) of 60.9±6.0 and 59.2±7.0 mL/kg/min for Standard and Latin-American dancers, respectively. For females, peak-VO(2) was 53.7±5.0 mL/kg/min in Standard and 52.3±5.0 mL/kg/min in Latin-American dancers. During simulated competition, male dancers reached the 75.7±10.6 and 84.2±11.2% of peak-VO(2) (P<0.05) for Standard and Latin-American sequence, respectively. For females, no difference was observed (70.8±13.8% in Latin-American and 72.5±12.8% in Standard). Peak-BL during simulated Standard competition was 6.50±2.1 and 6.91±2.6 mM in males and females, respectively, and, for Latin-American sequence, 7.95±2.1 mM in males and 6.04±2.5 mM in females.
Dancesport can be defined as a sport discipline with an alternate physical activity with medium lasting and high energy-demanding (both aerobic and anaerobic) consecutive phases, separated by short recovery periods. These data must be kept into account while planning specific training programs in sportdancers.
体育舞蹈越来越受欢迎，并开始被视为一项真正的运动。关于体育舞蹈比赛生理应激的研究很少：此外，官方规则最近的变化使得有必要重新审视我们对比赛期间特定生理需求的认识。我们研究的目的是评估顶级舞者的生理参数。
12对竞技体育舞蹈选手（12对拉丁舞选手和12对标准舞选手）组成了研究群体。第一次测试旨在确定运动员在实验室中的身体和生理特征；第二次测试旨在确定在现场模拟比赛期间的生理反应，包括测量摄氧量（VO₂）、心率和血乳酸（BL）。
标准舞男选手的峰值摄氧量为60.9±6.0 mL/kg/min，拉丁舞男选手为59.2±7.0 mL/kg/min。对于女性，标准舞选手的峰值摄氧量为53.7±5.0 mL/kg/min，拉丁舞选手为52.3±5.0 mL/kg/min。在模拟比赛中，标准舞序列的男选手分别达到峰值摄氧量的75.7±10.6%和84.2±11.2%（P<0.05），拉丁舞序列的男选手分别达到峰值摄氧量的75.7±10.6%和84.2±11.2%。对于女性，未观察到差异（拉丁舞为70.8±13.8%，标准舞为72.5±12.8%）。模拟标准舞比赛期间的峰值血乳酸，男性为6.50±2.1 mM，女性为6.91±2.6 mM；对于拉丁舞序列，男性为7.95±2.1 mM，女性为6.04±2.5 mM。
体育舞蹈可被定义为一种运动项目，其交替进行中等持续时间且高能量需求（有氧和无氧）的连续阶段的身体活动，中间间隔短暂的恢复期。在为体育舞蹈选手制定特定训练计划时，必须考虑这些数据。
