AB  - OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of traditional dancing with formal exercise 
      training in terms of functional and cardiovascular benefits and motivation in 
      patients with chronic heart failure. DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial. 
      SETTING: Sports Medicine Laboratory. SUBJECTS: Fifty-one Greek male patients aged 
      67.1+/-5.5 years with chronic heart failure of New York Heart Association (NYHA) 
      class II-III, participated in an eight-month study. INTERVENTIONS: They were 
      randomly assigned to either training with Greek traditional dances (group A, 
      n=18), formal exercise training (group B, n=16) or a sedentary control group 
      (group C, n=17). MAIN MEASURES: At entry and the end of the study all patients 
      underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing, functional ability assessment and 
      quality of life evaluations. The Intrinsic Motivation Inventory was also used to 
      assess participants' subjective experience. RESULTS: After training group A 
      showed increased peak oxygen consumption by 33.8% (19.5 vs. 26.1 ml/kg/min, 
      p<0.05) and B by 32.3% (19.5 vs. 25.8 ml/kg/min, p<0.05), maximal treadmill 
      tolerance by 48.5% (p<0.05) and by 46.4% (p<0.05), and a decreased Slope of 
      expired minute ventilation for carbon dioxide output (VE/VCO2) slope by 18% 
      (p<0.05) and 19.5% (p<0.05), respectively. Trained patients revealed significant 
      improvement in the quality of life indices. Intrinsic Motivation Inventory was 
      increased only in group A by 26.2% (3.08 vs. 3.87, p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Exercise 
      training in chronic heart failure patients with Greek traditional dances led to 
      functional and cardiovascular benefits similar to formal exercise training and to 
      a higher level of motivation.
