I would like this thesis to focus on contemporary professional athletes, examining the physical demands and how classical dance training can lead them towards superior agility, flexibility and muscle power. Centered on selected case studies, each chapter should discuss the way a certain physical characteristic can be enhanced and developed via specific dance exercise/s. The physical characteristics; agility, flexibility and muscle power are analyzed in depth. This thesis should examine the physical characteristic itself, the commonly used exercises to enhance it and how it can be further developed by dance. Through consideration of Biomechanics and specific dance exercises significant factors should be discussed including injury prevention and the development of an overall superior athlete.
Contributing predominately to the study of biomechanics, this thesis should also be significant in the areas of physical education, injury prevention and dance education.
This is thesis is due at the end of May next year so please do not give back the authorship to the writer until 6 months after May next year.
