Abstract

Physical fitness during early childhood supports growth and long-term health. Balinese Traditional Dance, particularly Pendet, may enhance fitness through movements engaging multiple body components. This cross-sectional study involved 24 girls aged 6 years (12 dancers, 12 non-dancers). Physical fitness was assessed using Recovery Heart Rate, the 30-Second Chair Stand Test, and the Sit and Reach Test. Data were analyzed using independent t-test and Mann-Whitney U test. Dancers showed a significantly higher mean Recovery Heart Rate (26.92 ± 11.5 vs. 12.42 ± 3.37 beats/min, p < 0.05), indicating a greater number of heart rate beats returning toward normal within a set recovery period. They also performed better in the Chair Stand Test (21.55 ± 2.58 vs. 13.5 ± 2.5 repetitions, p < 0.05), while flexibility did not differ significantly. Conclusion: Dancers demonstrated better cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength than non-dancers.
