The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of an intentional program for the folk dance on middle school girls' personality and physical fitness by making a comparison between an experimental group (eighty five persons) and a controlled group (eighty five persons).
The result of the analysis after enforcing the program of the folk dance for eight weeks is as follows.
1) Physical fitness
(1) The difference in physical fitness between the two groups before and after the fact.
There was no a wide difference between two groups before enforcing the program. However, there was a wide difference in agility, balance, and power of an experimental group after enforcing the fact.
(2) The difference in physical fitness of each group before and after the fact.
The improved degree of an experimental group than a controlled group showed high. There was statistically a wide difference in agility, endurance for strength, flexibility, power, strength, and balance between two groups.
2) Personality
(1) The difference in personality between the two groups before and after the fact.
There was no a wide difference between two groups before enforcing the program. However, there was a wide difference in activity, thought, and sociality of an experimental group after enforcing the fact.
(2) The difference in personality of each group before and after the fact.
There was no a change in natures of a controlled group. However, there was a wide difference(P<.001) in activity, thought, and sociality of an experimental group, and the improved degree of sociality among them showed very high.
