Inclusão de um treinamento intervalado de alta intensidade específico para a dança, na rotina de bailarinas jovens de jazz

Abstract

Dance is a great tool for expression, motor development, cognitive development, proprioception and self-knowledge. With all these benefits, when you start practicing, it's very common that you want to grow and evolve in this art even more. Considering all these factors and taking into account that most dancers start their careers early, it is necessary that physical preparation takes place in parallel. Therefore, this research aimed to verify the effect of adding a high intensity interval training to the routine of classes of young jazz dancers, under aerobic and technical dance performance. The study is quantitative, almost experimental, with a control period. The sample consisted of six jazz dancers, between 15 and 17 years old, from the city of Caxias do Sul ? RS. After sample selection, tests were applied to start the control period, and then the intervention period, with new tests. The intervention lasted five weeks of dance-specific HIIT training, with 20 minutes each session, performed twice a week. At the end of this period and the tests reapplied, no significant differences were found, either in aerobic fitness or in the technical performance of the dance. HIIT is an interesting training approach for this population, however studies with intervention time and larger sample size should be encouraged, as the research found in the literature is still scarce.
