Pole dance slashes blood pressure in just one session
NCT ID NCT07590258
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a single 60-minute pole dance class could lower blood pressure in 21 young women with normal blood pressure. Participants had their blood pressure measured before, right after, and up to 45 minutes after the class. Results showed a drop in blood pressure after the session compared to a control day of sitting. This suggests pole dance might offer short-term heart health benefits.
