Summary

In this study, which will investigate the effects of 12-week strength training with 8-week detraining on movement patterns, lower limb strength, and dance performance among Chinese college dancesport athletes, functional movement patterns, muscle architecture, lower limb strength and power, and dance performance will be measured. In dance activity, implementing appropriate strength conditioning programs can effectively enhance dancers' strength levels and improve performance while preserving the integrity of technical and aesthetic elements. The study is a randomized controlled trial. Dancesport major students will be assessed according to the screening conditions, and 30 participants will be recruited. Participants will be randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will undergo training three times per week, 60 minutes per session, for 12 weeks. All participants will undergo measurements at four time points: baseline, after six weeks, after twelve weeks, and after eight weeks of detraining.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

strength training

A 12-week strength training program designed for college dancesport athletes. Training is performed three times per week, 60 minutes per session, in addition to participants' regular dancesport training. Exercises include multi-joint resistance movements (e.g., squats, lunges, deadlifts, jumps) following NSCA guidelines with progressive overload based on 1RM. After the 12-week intervention, participants continue with an 8-week detraining phase without supplemental strength sessions and dance training.
