Abstract

Dancing has been recommended as a suitable home-based physical activity during the quarantine period associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Dancing can reduce sedentary behavior and thereby maintain physical and emotional health. The aim of this article was to provide support to dance, fitness, and/or other health professionals in guiding individuals wishing to practice dancing activities at home. By considering dancing as a strategy to increase levels of physical activity at home, this article is divided into three sections: i) the structure of a dance session, ii) elements of aerobic fitness, and iii) safety considerations. A home setting dance session lasts ~40-50 minutes, including the warm-up, the specific dancing activities, and the cool-down.

摘要

建议在与COVID-19大流行相关的隔离期内，将舞蹈作为一种适合家庭的体育活动。跳舞可以减少久坐的行为，从而保持身心健康。本文的目的是为舞蹈，健身和/或其他健康专业人员提供支持，以指导希望在家中练习舞蹈活动的个人。通过考虑将舞蹈作为增加家庭体育锻炼水平的一种策略，本文分为三个部分：i）舞蹈课程的结构，ii）有氧健身的要素和iii）安全考虑。一场家庭舞蹈会持续约40至50分钟，包括热身，特定的舞蹈活动和冷静时间。
