dc.description.abstractPeople start aerobic dance programme with great zeal and motivation, only to quit after few weeks or find their zeal dying out almost immediately, due to inability to cope with the style of music. Nigeria has rich cultural music and dance for various social and religious functions, which have not been incorporated for aerobic dance exercise to attain physical fitness. This study determined the extent to which Nigerian indigenous music in aerobic dance exercise affects selected physiological parameters of middle-aged female workers. Quasi-experimental Pre-test, post -test control group research design was adopted. Female workers fromLagos State Ministry of Health, Alausa, was purposively selected for the study. (n=47) women who gave their consent, were randomly assigned to the two groups of experimental (n=23) and control group (n=24). Variables tested includes systolic and diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride, cholesterol and blood sugar level. The descriptive statistics of frequency counts, and inferential statistics of analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were used for statistical analysis. Significant reductions were observed in all variables tested after the dance programme. It was recommended that Nigerian indigenous music be integrated into aerobic dance programme against foreign music in order to promote exercise adherence, higher level of endurance, strength, improved fitness level and productivity among female workers.en_US
