In this study, pilates mat, exercises on reformer program were carried out for 8 weeks for the purpose of offering the data for the performance progress of the people majoring in modern dance
by drawing out the limb muscular strength factors which is highly influencing the movement performance of modern dance. 20 students who major in modern dance at S university were selected as the subjects to the study and then divided into exercise group and control group, 10 for each. Body composition before and after exercise was measured with bio-electrical impedance method(In-body 3.0), and the muscular strength, (grasping power, back muscle strength), muscular endurance, pliability, balance, cardiovascular and respiratory endurance were measured as the physical strength. Isokinetic was measured with Biodex system Ⅲ(Biode x system USA), and maximum strength, maximum strength per body weight, average power, total exercise volume were measured. Balance control ability was measured with MFT, front, rear and right, left stability index. The paired t-test was used for data analysis to verify the difference of the value measured by SPSS 12.0 program. And the results came out as below.
First, in body composition, there were not significant difference in weight and lean body mass but body fare rate and Intra-abdo
minal fat were significantly reduced(p<.05).
Second, in physical strength, there was no significant difference in muscular strength(grasping power), and in muscular strength, back muscle strength, muscular endurance(sit-ups), pliability(sit and reach test), balance(one leg standing with eyes closed), cardiovascular and respiratory endurance(1000m walking/running), exercise group increased significantly compared with control group after exercise(p<.05).
Third, there wasn't considerable difference between exercise phase in right side extension isokinetic 60°/sec, and was statistically significant difference in maximum muscular strength per body weight between groups(p<.05). In 180°/sec, maximum muscular strength, maximum muscular strength per body weight, total exercise volume showed significant difference between exercise phase, maximum muscular strength per body weight showed statistically significant difference between groups(p<.05).
Fourth, in left side extension isokinetic 60°/sec, total exercise volume showed significant difference between exercise phase, maximum muscular strength per body weight showed statistically significant difference between groups (p<.05). In 180°/sec, maximum muscular strength, maximum muscular strength per body weight showed significant difference between exercise phase, and maximum muscular strength per body weight showed statistically significant difference between groups (p<.05).
Fifth, in right side extension isokinetic 60°/sec, showed no significant difference between exercise phase, and so does between groups. In 180°/sec, there wasn't significant difference between exercise phase and wasn't statistically significant difference between groups.
Sixth, in left side extension isokinetic 60°/sec, there wasn't significant difference between exercise phase and wasn't statistically significant difference between groups. In 180°/sec, maximum muscular strength per body weight showed significant difference between exercise phase while showed no statistically significant difference between groups.
Seventh, in balance control ability, exercise group was significantly improved compared with control group after exercise in front. rear stability index, right. left stability index.
Such results reveals that pilates exercise program helped modern dance majoring person to have achieved considerable difference in ability improvement in body composition, physical strength, low limb muscular strength & balance control.
Provided that this program should be used as a long term subsidiary exercise program, it' is likely to support physical strength which influencing movement performing ability and body control ability of the dancers in the coming days, and also to prevent them from being hurt from excessive training and to perform better technique.
