Study on the influence of sports dance course on mental health of college students

Abstract

With the increasingly fierce competition in modern society, the mental health of college students has gradually become the focus of social attention. As a kind of education form integrating art and sports, sports dance course has been paid more attention by physical education in colleges and universities because of its unique physical beauty and psychological benefits. The 2020 Report on the health of Chinese College Students reveals that the physical and mental health of contemporary college students in China is not optimistic, and their physical fitness has been declining for a long time, and the pressure of life and study also makes related mental health problems increasingly prominent. As a sport dance project, it can not only meet the needs of exercise, but also meet the needs of social communication with people. In the process of dancing, communicate with partners and dance friends, combine physical and psychological two into one, respectively, from two aspects to complete the physical exercise, restrain the generation and spread of bad emotions. Based on many previous theoretical studies, I adopted the experimental method as the core, supported by literature, mathematical statistics and logical analysis, took the physical and mental impact of dance sport courses on college students as the main research object, and selected the movement and combination of elements related to dance sport as the main intervention content. Sixty non-sports dance major college students (30 male and 30 female) from Zhengzhou University were selected as experimental subjects to conduct a 16-week intervention in sports dance course. The changes of various indicators of mental health of the 60 students before and after the experiment were analyzed and self-controlled research was conducted, and the following conclusions were drawn: In terms of mental health, the average scores of somatization, depression, anxiety, interpersonal sensitivity and compulsion showed a downward trend and there were significant differences before and after the experiment (P < 0.05). The remaining 4 factors show from the data that there is no significant change in the experimental subjects before and after the experiment, so it is impossible to see whether there is any relevant influence from the experimental results. In general, the practice of sports dance can affect the psychological state of college students. Through the method of literature analysis and questionnaire survey, this study discusses the positive effects of sports dance course on the mental health of college students, including relieving pressure, enhancing self-esteem, improving emotional state, etc., and puts forward corresponding educational suggestions
