Abstract
This quasi-experimental research aimed to study the effect of the Modified Serng ka Tib Dancing exercise program on the body balance of female university students. The subjects were 30 female students from the Department of Sports Science, Faculty of Science, Udon Thani Rajabhat University. The subjects were divided into an experimental group (n=15) and a control group (n=15). The research instruments consisted of 1) the Modified “Serng ka Tib” Dancing exercise program and 2) the body static balance tests such as the stork stand test, the stork stand - open eyes test, the stork stand - close eyes test, and the body dynamic balance test e.g. the star excursion balance test. The test was measured before the practice (0 week), after the 4th week and after the 8th week. The data was analyzed by using the mean, standard deviation, and repeated measures ANOVA at the statistical significance level of 0.05. The finding reveals that the experimental group showed a statistically significant improvement in the body statistic balance test and the body dynamic balance test than the control group (p<0.05). This result leads to the conclusion that the “Modified Serng ka Tib Dancing” exercise program can improve the balance of female university students.
