Effects of a 12-Week Waltz Dance Intervention on Cardiovascular Health in Women Aged 45-65 With Dyslipidemia

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether Waltz dance can improve cardiometabolic and bone health in sedentary women aged 45-65 with abnormal lipid levels. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can Waltz dance improve blood lipid profiles, including total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, and LDL-C? Can it improve body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, vascular function, and bone mineral density? Researchers will compare a Waltz dance group with a control group that maintains their usual lifestyle to see if the dance intervention leads to better health outcomes. Participants will: Attend supervised Waltz dance classes three times a week for 12 weeks, each session lasting 105 minutes. Complete physical tests and blood draws before and after the program to measure changes in lipid levels, body composition, fitness, and bone density. Wear an accelerometer to monitor energy expenditure and physical activity during the program.
