Physical activity for older adults is recommended to encourage the maintenance of functional autonomy and improve mental health. Ballroom dancing involves aerobic, strength, and balance work and is an inherently a social activity. This 12-month qualitative study considered the influence of ballroom dancing on health and well-being in community-dwelling older adults. It explores an underreported aspect of physical activity, which may incentivize older people to participate, that is, pleasure. Qualitative data were managed and analyzed using the Framework Analysis approach. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 26 older adult ballroom dancers. Five typologies of pleasure were identified. In addition to "sensual pleasure," "pleasure of habitual action," and "pleasure of immersion," as suggested by Phoenix and Orr, the "pleasure of practice" and "pleasure of community" were also identified. Ballroom dancing produces a strong sense of embodied pleasure for older adults and should be promoted by health and exercise professionals for community-dwelling older adults.
建议老年人进行体育活动，以促进保持功能自主性并改善心理健康。交际舞涉及有氧运动、力量训练和平衡练习，并且本质上是一种社交活动。这项为期12个月的定性研究考察了交际舞对社区居住老年人健康和幸福的影响。它探讨了体育活动中一个较少被报道的方面，即愉悦感，这可能会激励老年人参与其中。使用框架分析法对定性数据进行管理和分析。对26名老年交际舞者进行了半结构化访谈。确定了五种愉悦类型。除了菲尼克斯和奥尔提出的“感官愉悦”“习惯性动作的愉悦”和“沉浸的愉悦”之外，还确定了“练习的愉悦”和“社区的愉悦”。交际舞为老年人带来强烈的身体愉悦感，健康和运动专业人员应为社区居住的老年人推广交际舞。
