Abstract
Background
Conventional medical therapies and psychotherapies for major depression are associated with limited adherence to care and relatively low remission rates. Dance fitness may offer an alternative treatment option, but research studies are limited in this regard. This randomized pre-post dependent trial examined a 10-week Bollybhangra dance fitness program as a mono-therapy for No to minimal symptoms of depression.
Methods
Investigators selected 23 female adults in Kolkata, who were leading a sedentary lifestyle and were engaged in less or no physical activity and also complained of suffering from some or the other mental complications in their day to day lives. These subjects were put into a dance fitness program namely Bollybhangra since most females who are living in Kolkata are mostly lovers of Bollywood dance forms. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was implemented on the subjects. Participants were middle aged females, with mean age 33.5 years, and mean BDI score pre treatment was 9.6 (SD = 6.52). Twenty three participants were randomized to 45-minute Bollybhangra groups thrice weekly for 10 weeks. Licensed dance fitness instructors delivered the interventions at a Fitness Studio.
Results
In dependant ‘t’ test pre-post design analysis, Bollybhangra participants exhibited significantly greater 10-week decline in BDI scores than what it was in the initial pre treatment measurement (BDI score 9.60). In sub-analyses of participants completing final 10-week measures, the participants were more likely to achieve remission, defined per final BDI score ≤ 6.04 (p<0.05). Intervention groups differed significantly in 10-week change scores for Depression, the calculated t at degree of freedom 22 was 6.017 which is greater than the tabulated value of t 1.717 at 95% of confidence.
Conclusion
In adult females with no to mild depression, a 10-week Bollybhangra intervention resulted in statistically significant reductions in depression measures.
