摘要：The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of education programs on dance performance in youth sports dancers. Fifty-four subjects (aged 9-11 years) volunteered to participate in a 12 wk education program and were randomly assigned to three groups. The experimental group one (EG-1) trained in Dance sport 2 d.wk-1 and performed physical training (i.e. track and field athletics, games, relays, and rhythmic gymnastics) 1 d.wk-1. Experimental group two (EG-2) trained in Dance sport 2 d.wk-1 and performed aerobics and aerobic gymnastics exercises 1 d.wk-1. The control group (CG) dancers developed their Dance sport-specific technical and tactical skills 3 d.wk-1. Training occurred 3 d.wk-1 for a total of 54 hours. The dancers’ anthropometric and physical fitness characteristics, as well as Dance sport performances were measured pre and post-intervention. No significant differences were observed at baseline between the three groups, except stature in EG-2 (p > .005). At post-intervention, the supplemental education sessions improved Dance sport performance scores of EG-1 (p = .004, 2 = .673, P = .943) and EG-2 (p = .001, 2 = .778, P = .996) dance pair; no change was observed in Dance sport performance in CG-1 (p = .622, 2 = .032, P = .074). The application of Dance sport training combined with supplemental education improves development of Dance sport performance in youth sports dancers.
