EFFECT OF BALANCE TRAINING ON AEROBICS TEACHING FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: Among the known benefits of aerobics gymnastics are flexibility, motor coordination improvement, weight loss, and balance improvement. The balance capacity is very important for aerobics students, and it is believed that introducing a complementary protocol can bring greater benefits to the performance of its practitioners. Objective: Explore the effects of balance training on university students practicing aerobics. Methods: A 9-week experiment was conducted employing 100 college aerobics students. The volunteers were divided into two groups without statistical differences. Balance training was added to the experimental group, while the control group remained with daily teaching practice. Results: The push-up score increased from 2.27±0.45 to 2.73±0.46, the body rotation score was from 1.87±0.35 to 2.40±0.51, and the squat score was from 2.53±0.52 to 3.03±0.30. While the aerobic ability of college students in the experimental group was effectively improved, no significant changes were observed in the control group data. Conclusion: Balance training can effectively improve college students’ ability, leading to improvement in teaching aerobics to college students.
