The effect of aerobic dance training on mood state profile and salivary alpha amylase in non-athlete students

 
Purpose: The purpose of this research was to study the effect of aerobic dance training on profile of mood state and salivary alpha amylase in non-athlete male and female students. Method: 80 non-athlete students (40 females, age: 21±2, weight: 58±8, height: 163±5 and 40 males; age: 21±2, weight: 68±10, height: 176±5) which were healthy and had no history of diseases or drug selected and based on mood scores regimented into control (20 female and 20 male) and training group (20 female and 20 male). Training group did the aerobic dance for 10 weeks. Control group had no physical training throughout the study. Throughout the training protocol saliva samples taken and mood questionnaire (BRUMS) filled out 5 times. ANOVA repeated measures and Bonferroni post hoc test used to analyze data. Result: Results showed that mood statue improved in females and males training group (females; p=0.007 F=62.50, df=19, 1 and males; p=0.008, F=62.50, df=19,1) Additionally alpha amylase decreased after 10 weeks of aerobic dance training (females; p=0.021, F=65.37, df-19, 1 and males; p=0.019, F-61.89, df=19, 1).
Conclusion: Totally doing aerobic dance, because of its special nature, suggested for reaching health.
