Explanation:
Thirty-nine healthy adults (18 men, 19 women, Table 1) were recruited. Participants were members of one of three groups: 1) experienced maritime workers (Experienced Workers group; n = 14); 2) individuals with training in dance (Dance group; n = 12); and 3) novice individuals with no experience working in maritime environments or dance training (Inexperienced group; n = 13). Anthropometric data was normally distributed with no statistically significant between group differences. To qualify for the study members of the Inexperienced group had to have no experience working in offshore environments, less than two weeks experience in recreational boating activities, and no formal dance or skill training requiring challenging whole body balance control. Experienced Workers had to have a minimum of six months experience working in maritime environments on moving platforms. Individuals in the Dance group must have had a minimum of two years of formal dance training in either classical or street dance genres, and be practicing and/or performing at least two hours per week over the previous six months. Individuals were excluded if they were susceptible to motion sickness; had any medical conditions that would adversely affect balance, or any musculoskeletal injuries or other impairments that would prevent them from safely exercising. Prior to commencing the study all participants were presented with documentation outlining the study and were given the opportunity to ask questions about the research before signing the informed written consent form. This study was approved by the Interdisciplinary Committee on Ethics in Human Research at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
