“…The majority of respondents indicated that the level of physical activity prior to the current pandemic was moderate or high. Similarly, participants predominately reported that both their general and mental health were “good” or “very good.” The evidence base for the relationships between physical activity, including mind-body focused physical activity, 51 – 54 and physical health 51 , 54 – 58 and mental health 52 – 54 , 59 are well established. Additionally, there is evidence of a bidirectional association between mental health and physical activity, 60 – 62 suggesting that mental health status may influence the ability or decision to participate in physical activity.…”

The purpose of this study was to learn about the use, barriers, reasons and beliefs regarding mind-body practices among adults living in the United States during the beginning months of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. An on-line survey was developed following the Checklist for Reporting Results of Internet e-Surveys (CHERRIES) guidelines and using the online survey software program, Qualtrics® XM, platform. Pilot testing of the survey was conducted for usability and functionality. The final 24-item survey was distributed via email and social media. A total of 338 adults responded to the survey, with 68.8% indicating that they participated in mind-body activities since the start of the pandemic. Physical activity was the most frequently (61.5%, n = 227) used mind-body practice. Further, 2 of the common barriers to engaging in mind-body practices were lack of motivation and wandering mind. Frequently listed reasons for using mind-body practices were to promote health, reduce stress and relaxation. Respondents believed that mind-body practices resulted in less stress. These findings may be applicable for reducing psychological stress related to the pandemic, as the pandemic continues to impact many areas of the United States.

“…However, most studies are cross-sectional and cannot prove causality between physical activity and depression. Recently, some longitudinal studies have confirmed that appropriate physical activity can effectively alleviate depressive symptoms, and there is a bidirectional predictive relationship between them (Hellem et al, 2020;Jo et al, 2021). However, this is not enough, and more research is needed in the future to supplement and support the current research findings.…”

BackgroundDepression is a serious psychological disorder that college students are experiencing. College students’ depression problems, which can be caused by various factors, have been easily ignored and untreated. In recent years, exercise, as a low-cost and easily accessible method for treating depression, has attracted widespread attention. The purpose of this study is to use bibliometrics to explore the hotspots and trends in the field of exercise therapy of college students in depression from 2002 to 2022.MethodsWe retrieved relevant literature from the Web of Science (WoS), PubMed, and Scopus databases, and generated a ranking table to describe the core productivity in the field. We used VOSViewer software to generate network maps of authors, countries, co-cited journals, and co-occurring keywords to help us better understand the scientific collaboration patterns, potential disciplinary foundations, as well as research hotspots and trends in this field.ResultsFrom 2002 to 2022, a total of 1,397 articles related to exercise therapy of college students in depression were selected. The key findings of this study are as follows: (1) the number of publications has gradually increased, especially after 2019; (2) United States and its affiliated higher education institutions have made significant contributions to the development of this field; (3) there are multiple research groups in this field, but their connections are relatively limited; (4) the field is relatively interdisciplinary, primarily a convergence of behavioral science, public health, and psychology; (5) based on co-occurring keyword analysis, six main themes were summarized: health-promoting factors, body image, negative behaviors, increased stress, depression coping strategies, and diet.ConclusionOur study illustrates the research hotspots and trends for the research of exercise therapy of college students in depression, presents some challenges and new insights, and provides valuable information for further research.

“…Aside from these examples, there have been few controlled studies of the effects of solo dance within the context of mood and anxiety (Hellem et al, 2020; Humphries et al, 2023; O'Toole et al, 2015) and many have had small sample sizes (Alpert et al, 2009; Boing et al, 2018; Bouquiaux et al, 2022; Dahmen‐Zimmer & Jansen, 2017; Duarte et al, 2023; Ho et al, 2022). The interpretation of findings from some studies is limited by confounds introduced by participant self‐selection into the experimental (dance) or control conditions (Dahmen‐Zimmer & Jansen, 2017; Fausto et al, 2022; Gurley et al, 1984) or the recruitment of active and control samples from different populations.…”

Across the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and psychiatry, dance—broadly and heterogeneously defined across cultures and movement styles—has been investigated for a range of potential benefits in healthy and clinical populations. There is a growing body of literature investigating the potential for dance, and in particular social forms of dance, to have a positive impact on mental health and well‐being. Given widespread availability through community providers, social dance and movement could be an accessible, non‐invasive, and affordable approach to the prevention and treatment of mood disorders, including depression. However, the existing literature is heterogenous, and there is a lack of methodological cohesiveness and systematization in the field of dance for mental health research. In this narrative review, we propose a novel classification system for social dance mental health research, which encompasses solo dance, partner dance, group dance, dance movement therapy, and cooperative movement. We review the existing literature examining the effects of social dance and movement in the context of low mood and depression and identify future research directions for building a solid evidence base for the application of social dance and movement in the prevention and treatment of mood disorders.
