Optimization of movement activity and the mental state of students by dance aerobics

PURPOSE: to test the effectiveness of dance aerobics to optimize the motor activity and the psychophysical state of female students. METHODS: medical and biological: body weight (kg), BPM and BPD(mmHg), ChSS in a state of rest and the Stange test. All the data obtained by the study were processed by the procedures of descriptive and comparative statistical methods. From the area of the descriptive statistics the following parameters were defined: representative central and dispersive parameters: arithmetic average –; standard deviation –; initial and final measuring. Unpaired test, applied in comparative statistics, was performed in order to compare the arithmetic means of two independent data sets (experimental and control groups). Statistical analysis was performed by applying SPSS statistical software.RESULTS: During the studying, and especially the examination time, students experiencestrong psycho-emotional stress andthephysical state becomes worse. The use of dance aerobics has a positive influence on the psychophysical state of female students and the optimization of their physical activity.CONCLUSIONS:Comparative analysis of data confirmed the effectiveness of dance aerobics tools not only in the absence of negative changes during the examination session, but also improvement of the psychophysical state (state of health by the method of WAM in KG – 3,8 points, EG1 – 4,3 points, EG2 – 4,5 points, ЕG3 – 4.8 points) and the level of somatic health of students (in KG 0.23 ± 0.04 points, ЕG1 8.78 ± 0.50 points, ЕG2 8.77 ± 0.61 points, ЕG3 11, 65 ± 0.55 points)
