Pole Dancing
... is for everyone 😉
Pole sports, or poling, merges dance and acrobatics using a vertical
metal pole. Athletes climb up, spin from, hang off, flip onto, jump off,
and invert on poles. Poling requires
agility, strength, balance, endurance, and flexibility. A 2017
study of 52 female pole dancers indicated that pole-dance fitness
improves strength and posture. Poling can serve as a form of
cardiorespiratory exercise, and improve muscle strength and flexibility.
Pole-sports athletes include
men and women of a variety of ages and physical abilities, including para-athletes, who perform alone or with others (for
example, in doubles competitions).
