Extent of Doing Warm-Up Exercises in Preparation for Philippine Traditional Dance Performances

Discipline: Education

Abstract:

This descriptive quantitative study determined the warm-up exercises and the extent of these exercises of thirty (30) Philippine traditional dance performers of Kulintayaw Performing Artists Collective of General Santos City in preparation for Philippine Traditional Dance performances. The data were gathered using a validated self-made research questionnaire. It was found that the respondents were often doing static and dynamic exercises, with mean scores of 3.41 and 3.48, respectively, which corresponds to a high extent of preparation before performing Philippine traditional dance performances, as reflected in the overall weighted mean of 3.45. Results showed that most respondents performed both static and dynamic exercises, with frequency distributions varying from 23 to 30, which corresponded to often performing different warm-up exercises, respectively. The performers do shoulder stretch, standing shin stretch, quadriceps stretch, jumping jacks, and walking knee hugs more frequently than upper back stretch, adductor stretch, arm circles, lunges, and squats. This means that some exercises were only performed occasionally by the respondents. Performers were encouraged to further improve and do warm-up exercises prior to physical activities, for it enhances their performance in Philippine traditional dance.
