| This dissertation uses a quantitative research method to analyze health issues and the benefits students and teachers experience because of DanceSport. The dissertation topic is on Health Issues and the Benefits of DanceSport. The problem is that people are experiencing health issues. DanceSport exercise is fun and a remedy to prevent illnesses and diseases. Health issues include dementia, depression, strokes, obesity, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and others. This study analyzed the results of a survey of students and teachers using quantitative data. The theory of better health through ballroom dancing is a starting point for the study. The purpose of this quantitative study is to make a comparison between individuals who spend time taking ballroom dance instruction at the Arthur Murray ballroom dance school. The research method is a quantitative method and appropriate for the proposed study. This study included a cross-sectional survey design to collect data. The survey helped answer the research question in the study. This study could benefit people in society who are unaware of the importance of exercise to prevent illnesses and diseases. For the survey 100 students and 100 teachers were used from the Arthur Murray's ballroom dance schools. To study the hypothesis a sample was selected from the population. A theory in quantitative research explains and predicts the probable relationship between, for example, better health (dependent variable), and taking ballroom dancing (independent variable) (Creswell, 2005). Think of a theory as a bridge connecting the independent and dependent variables (Creswell, 2005). Historical and current findings indicated the many benefits experienced by ballroom dancers. The gaps in current and historical research literature exist because studies do not address certain areas. The rationale for the research method and research design is discussed. The study confirmed that ballroom dancing is beneficial. |
