“…Health care practitioners should work in collaboration with dance teachers, students, and their parents to build a bridge between the science and art of dance. So this study is in favour of the present study that dancers with physical injury can improve their self esteem and self efficacy [17]. Dance has an impact on stress and life satisfaction among corporate professionals.…”

Background: Stress and self efficacy are important variables related to performance and skill in the case of professional dancers. The purpose of this study was to see the correlation between self efficacy, hardiness and perceived stress in professional dancers. Dance affects the overall personality of an individual. Dance can improve mental health of an individual. Professional dancer is the performer who dances professionally and requires the innate talent to interpret and communicate stories and feelings through the physical form. Methodology: Professional dancers of the age group of 25-35 were given questionnaires of General Self Efficacy (GSE), Hardiness scale (HS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the findings were statistically analyzed. Results: The findings revealed a significant correlation between all the three variables amongst professional dancers. The r value was found to be significant at 0.01 level. There was a positive correlation between self efficacy and hardiness and negative correlation between self efficacy and perceived stress, and hardiness and perceived stress. Conclusions: Further studies in larger samples along with better psychological scales and variables are essential to consolidate the results of the current study.

“…Previous research has shown that arts and arts-based activities can positively impact physical and mental health outcomes by fostering creativity and promoting meaningful social engagement, both of which can improve HRQOL [7]. More specifically, unlike the majority of other types of physical activity, dance is an aesthetic form that allows for creative expression and is socially engaging [8]. Dancing can result in physical benefits comparable with those of formal exercise training [9], and has been found to improve social engagement and HRQOL [7,10,11].…”

Background Previous studies show that in-person dance training is a beneficial form of physical activity that involves mental, social, and physical dimensions. This exploratory study investigated the benefits of a 12-week online dance training intervention on mental and physical health outcomes for older women. Methods A convergent parallel mixed-method design was used. Forty-five older adults (74.0 ± 5.3 yrs old, 44 women) were recruited through advertisements at activity and rehabilitation centers in the North Denmark region. The intervention consisted of two weekly 60-min classes of improvisation and salsa delivered online through video call applications. Changes in physical health outcomes (body mass and composition, resting blood pressure, Senior Fitness Test battery) and self-rated health and wellbeing (health-related quality of life (HRQOL), feelings of loneliness) were assessed prior to and after 12 weeks of dancing. Focus group interviews were conducted post-intervention to further explore the benefits as well as the participant’s experience of the intervention. Thematic analysis of the qualitative data was conducted. Results Thirty-two participants (all women) completed the study. Significant improvements in fitness were found for the number of arm curls performed (baseline: 12.3 ± 3.0; post-intervention: 13.7 ± 3.0, P = 0.005), 2-min step test performance (baseline: 66.5 ± 20.0 reps.; post-intervention: 73.8 ± 22.6 reps., P = 0.016), and chair sit-and-reach (baseline: 0.4 ± 11.3 cm; post-intervention: 5.5 ± 10.1 cm, P < 0.001). There was a significant increase in body mass from baseline to post-intervention (P < 0.015). The themes from the focus groups included (1) Participation, (2) Challenges, (3) Progression, (4) Motivation, (5) Perceived health and wellbeing, and (6) Online dance instruction. No significant changes were reported in HRQOL and loneliness from the quantitative data, although the qualitative data did reveal improved feelings of physical health and wellbeing. Conclusions The intervention improved several aspects of fitness in older women and improved the participants’ perceptions of their own physical abilities and wellbeing. While most participants found the online intervention enjoyable, several participants missed the feedback from the instructors that naturally occurs with in-person instruction.

“…In addition, when the repetitive motion is rotated in all directions and the last position becomes the first starting position, the adaptation to the posture shown in the condition of the expected turn changes the motion and position from the center while reducing the error range of the stride, thusit can change the timing of the proper muscle activity, size and muscle reflex activity [ 29 ]. Rhythmic phrases and intensive repetitive movements have positive effects on bone mass, flexibility and mental health conditions such as depression, in a manner similar to lifestyle music therapy [ 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. Repeated and intensive use of the full body, such as in SaBang-DolGi , has been reported to be important for the relocation of the motor field of the cerebral cortex [ 35 ]; furthermore, a reduction of depression has been reported due to the central nervous system inducing changes in the cerebral cortex level [ 36 , 37 ].…”

Objective: We investigated the effectiveness of a 12-week SaBang-DolGi walking exercise program on the physical and mental health of menopausal women and aimed to provide the basic data needed to develop health promotion programs for the active and healthy aging of menopausal women. Materials and methods: The participants comprised 40 women aged 50–65 years who were divided into two randomly selected groups in training sessions (exercising group, n = 21 and control group, n = 19). A physical (grip, muscle and endurance) test and mental health test (simple mental health test II) were conducted using questionnaires with the aim of examining subjects’ physical and mental health before and after exercise. Results: After the intervention, the participants experienced positive changes in the physical dimension, with significant enhancements particularly in mental well-being and menopause-related health and subdomains. Controlled and regular exercise for 12 weeks was significantly correlated with a positive change in vitality and mental health. Conclusions: We found that the SaBang-DolGi walking exercise program helps to promote the physical and mental health of menopausal women who are exposed to the various stresses and depressions that accompany physical deterioration; the program was found to encourage active and healthy aging.
