Brief summary
This study aimed to evaluate the acute blood pressure (BP) response after a single pole dance (PD) session in adult women. Twenty-one young women (\<31 years old) with normal BP and previous PD experience participated. Each subject completed one experimental session (60-minute PD class) and one control session (60 minutes seated), on different days, in randomized order. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) were measured at baseline, immediately after, and at 15, 30, and 45 minutes post-session.
Detailed description
Purpose: To evaluate the acute blood pressure (BP) response after a single session of pole dance (PD) in adult women. Material and methods: Young women (\< 31 years old), with normal BP, with previous experience in PD. Each participant performed an experimental session (ES - 60' PD class) and a control session (CS - 60' seated), on different days, in a randomized manner. In both sessions, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) were measured at different times: pre-session, immediately after, after 15', after 30', and after 45'. Analysis of variance for repeated measures was used to compare inter- and intra-session outcomes, with p\<0.05.
Interventions
OTHERPole Dance
In the experimental session, participants underwent a PD class lasting 60 minutes. Initially, a warm-up (\~15 min) was carried out involving joint mobility movements and muscle stretching, followed by an initial part (\~10) marked by muscle strengthening and resistance exercises, execution of turns and low plane transitions. The second part of the class (\~15 min) was dedicated to learning and executing movements and aerial transitions using the static pole, while, in the third part of the class (\~15 min), sequences of movements on the spinning pole were worked on, finishing with a passive stretch to return to calm (\~5 min). At the end of the class, subjective rate of perceived exertion (RPE) was collected using the modified Borg scale \[17\] (0-10), with the aim of evaluating the intensity perception of the session.

Intervention model description
This is a randomized crossover interventional study with two arms: an experimental session (60-minute pole dance class) and a control session (60 minutes seated). Each participant completed both sessions on different days in randomized order. No masking was applied. The primary purpose was to evaluate acute cardiovascular responses (blood pressure and heart rate) in young women with previous pole dance experience.
Eligibility

FEMALE
Healthy volunteers
Yes
Inclusion criteria
1. being female; 2. be aged ≥ 18 years; 3. have an intermediate level of experience in PD modality, that is, be able to perform combinations of aerial movements of medium difficulty, such as performing aerial figures in the inverted position - head down; 4. not having performed vigorous physical activity in the 24 hours preceding the intervention.
Exclusion criteria
1. being pregnant; 2. have injuries that limit the proposed PD session.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement of blood pressure | A single session | To perform the measurements, participants must follow the pre-collection guidelines that will be provided when scheduling visits. These guidelines include: not consuming coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, or heavy meals on the day of collection; not engaging in strenuous physical activity in the 24 hours preceding collection; and having an empty bladder. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be measured using a digital device (Model HEM - 7113 from Omron Healthcare, Kyoto, Japan) at five different times: "BEFORE THE INTERVENTION", "IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INTERVENTION", "15 MINUTES AFTER THE INTERVENTION", "30 MINUTES AFTER THE INTERVENTION", and "45 MINUTES AFTER THE INTERVENTION", all with the participant seated. At rest, three systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements will be taken, with a one-minute interval between them. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurement protocol will be used equally in both sessions (experimental and control). |
