Traditional aerobics consists of various rhythmic body movements that are accompanied by music. Aerobic “dance” gained popularity in the late 1960s due - in part -- to the fact that diverse populations could participate. Which of the following is LEAST likely to be a benefit of traditional aerobics?
  1. Improved dance technique
  2. Improved balance
  3. Increased bone mineral density
  4. Increased cardio respiratory endurance
Explanation
Answer: A - While participants do learn certain elements of dance in an aerobics class, this format of class is not designed to provide technical feedback or instruction in dance. And while the Group Fitness Instructor is “teaching” the class, there is no opportunity for hands-on correction or individualized attention. Instead, the benefits of traditional aerobics include: improved body composition, improved balance, increased bone mineral density, and increased cardio respiratory endurance.
