Abstract

The purpose was to study and compare the effects of an applied Thai dance aerobic exercise program on the physical fitness of female students, in upper elementary school. The subjects were 36 students from Sam Phrao Community School, divided into 2 groups: an experimental group training in an applied Thai dance aerobics program (n = 18) and a control group (n = 18), practicing for a total of 8 weeks, 3 days/week, 50 minutes, the intensity of 60 - 70 percent of maximum heart rate. The health-related physical fitness was measured before and after eight weeks, respectively. The obtained data were analyzed in terms of Mean, Standard deviation, and t–test method with a significances level of 0.05. The results revealed that it was found that the most of parameters of physical fitness after eight weeks of training had a statistically significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) when compared to before training, except for muscular strength and endurance. When comparing the experimental and control groups, it was found that their physical fitness after the experiment was significantly different at a level of .05, except for their muscular strength and endurance. Therefore, it can be concluded that exercising with an applied Thai dance aerobic exercise program is an alternative to exercising at school or various agencies. It can be used to promote the well-being of female students. elementary school
