Abstract:
Objective: To explore influence of dragon dancing sport on cardiac function and its mechanism. Methods: A total of 20 male students learning in physical education department of Physical Education College of Jishou University were enrolled, randomly and equally divided into dragon dancing sport group (dragon dancing group, received dragon dancing training) and control group (performed daily activity). Indexes of cardiac function were measured by color-code Doppler echocardiography before and 16 weeks after training. Results: Compared with control group after 16-week training, there was significant decrease in heart rate [(66.00±3.39) times/min vs. (60.50±6.02) times/min], significant increase in left ventricular early diastolic peak filling velocity（E）[(82.4±10.17)cm/s vs. (93.01±10.89)cm/s], rate of E/ A（left ventricular late diastolic peak filling velocity）[(1.89±0.24) vs. (2.29±0.47)], stroke volume [(65.5±10.61)ml vs. (75.59±13.35)ml], stroke index [(36.19±6.15)ml/m2 vs. (40.43±8.35) ml/m2], cardiac index [(2.39±0.47)L•min-1•m-2 vs. (2.46±0.65) L•min-1•m-2] in dragon dancing group, P<0.05 all. Conclusion: Dragon dancing sport can significantly improve cardiac function.
