Abstract

Renal failure is the deceleration of renal functions and the loss of renal cortex and medulla. Therefore,
the exercise by the local dance training of the northeastern Thailand (Champa Sri local dance) may help
improve glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This research is a quasi-experimental design with a control group.
The objectives were as follows: 1) to compare the differences of the eGFR before and after the dancing
training and 2) to compare the differences in the amount of product wastes caused by muscles and were
excreted through the kidneys (creatinine) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) before and after the dance training.
The sample group was 60-69 year-old women who were healthy. They were divided into two groups: 35
women in an experimental group and 35 women in a control group. The research tools consisted of 1) the
dancing DVD for training, 2) the dancing guideline and 3) the collection record of blood test. The dance
training program takes 50 minutes a day, 3 days a week and lasts 16 weeks. The statistics used in the
study are paired-t test, Independent T-test, Wilcoxon signed rank test and Mann Whitney U test. The study
indicated that the differences of the eGFR and creatinine before and after the dance training between the
experimental group and the control group were statistically significant (p <0.05). However, the BUN values
before and after experiment of the dance training between the experimental group and the control group
were no statistically significant difference. In conclusion, the native dance training of the Champa Sri helped
increase the efficiency of the eGFR.
