Strength quality is the guarantee of Latin dancers' physical fitness construction, the cornerstone of completing a set of movements, and the most central part of Latin dancers' special qualities. Strength quality is the guarantee of physical fitness construction of sport dancers, the material basis of completing a set of beautiful movements, and the core quality of all physical qualities of sport dancers. The article discusses the physical fitness and training methods of the sports dance Latin dance special contestants, grasps the characteristics of the project, explores and studies its special physical fitness characteristics, and builds the special physical fitness training content and evaluation indicators of the sports dance special students of the physical education colleges. It is of high significance to carry out targeted training and comprehensively improve the athletic ability of special students.展开更多
