To determine the effect of low-impact aerobic dance on sedentary elderly women (N = 53), functional fitness was measured by items from the proposed American Alliance of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance (AAHPERD) fitness test for older adults. After 12-weeks of low-impact aerobic dance, the group improved significantly on all functional fitness components except motor control/coordination, including cardiorespiratory endurance, strength/endurance, body agility, flexibility, body fat, and balance.
为了确定低强度有氧舞蹈对久坐不动的老年女性（N = 53）的影响，通过美国健康、体育、娱乐与舞蹈联盟（AAHPERD）提议的针对老年人的体能测试项目来测量功能体能。在进行12周的低强度有氧舞蹈训练后，该组在除运动控制/协调能力之外的所有功能体能组成部分上均有显著改善，这些组成部分包括心肺耐力、力量/耐力、身体敏捷性、柔韧性、体脂和平衡能力。
