The heart rate monitors tracked the intensity of exercise in all six dance disciplines, with researchers scrutinising the dancers' results. Over the course of the 30 minute class, swing dancers burned an average of 293 calories, compared with 264 for running, 258 for football and 249 for swimming. To ensure accurate and comparable data, the researchers took into account each dancer's weight, age and general fitness level.
