目的体力提供了有关男性素质的信息，可以从面部和身体形态进行评估。对舞蹈动作感知的研究表明，身体动作也提供了男性体力的信息。这些关系还没有调查women.MethodsWe调查了75名男性和84名女性的握力（HGS）和舞蹈吸引力感知的关系。对男性舞蹈吸引力的性别评估，而不是女性。结论重复以前的研究，调查舞蹈吸引力和男性体力之间的关系，证实了这一假设，舞蹈动作提供有关男性素质的信息。我们认为，这些关系是可以解释的背景下，间和内的性选择。Am. J.哈姆。27：728-730，2015. (c)2015 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.
ObjectivesPhysical strength provides information about male quality and can be assessed from facial and body morphology. Research on perception of dance movements indicates that body movement also provides information about male physical strength. These relationships have not been investigated for women.MethodsWe investigated relationships of handgrip strength (HGS) and dance attractiveness perception in 75 men and 84 women.ResultsWe identified positive relationships between HGS and opposite-sex assessments of dance attractiveness for men but not women.ConclusionsThe replication of previous research investigating relationships between dance attractiveness and physical strength in men corroborates the hypothesis that dance movements provide information about male quality. We argue that these relationships are interpretable in contexts of inter- and intra-sexual selection. Am. J. Hum. Biol. 27:728-730, 2015. (c) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
