The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of Greek traditional dances on the improvement of old people's quality of life. A hundred and eleven subjects (75 women and 36 men) 60-91 years old, were divided into an experimental group (n=76) which participated in Greek traditional dances and a control group (n=35) which was discussing and watching television, both for 1h. The Subjective Exercise Experiences Scale [McAuley, E., Courneya, K., 1994. The Subjective Exercise Experiences Scale (SEES): development and preliminary validation. Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology 16, 163-177] was used to measure positive well-being, psychological distress, and fatigue and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory [Spielberger, C.D., Gorsuch, R., Lushene, R., 1970. Manual for the State-trait Anxiety Inventory. Consulting Psychologists, Palo Alto] to measure state and trait anxiety respectively. Correlational analyses, between the various measures taken postdance, showed that the overall set of relations between the SEES subscales and the SAI-Y1 subscale supports the criterion-related validity of this measure of exercise-induced psychological responses. The independent groups t-tests showed that the control group in comparison to experimental group, at rest as well as on the second measurement, has significantly higher levels of state anxiety (t=-4.45, p<0.001 &t=-6.56, p<0.001), psychological distress (t=-4.30, p<0.001 &t=-5.46, p<0.001), and fatigue (t=-3.16, p<0.01 &t=-3.46, p<0.001), while it has significantly lower levels of positive well-being (t=4.23, p<0.001 &t=6.90, p<0.001). After dancing approximately 63% of maximum heart rate of experimental group was activated, while from paired t-tests significant decreases in state anxiety (t=5.02, p<0.001) and psychological distress (t=3.14, p<0.01) were observed, as well as significant increases in positive well-being (t=-4.44, p<0.001) and fatigue (t=-2.15, p<0.05). On the other hand, no significant difference in control group was observed. Consequently, Greek traditional dances may be used as a functional psycho-physical activity, to produce both physical and mental benefits for elderly individuals.
本研究的目的是考察希腊传统舞蹈对改善老年人生活质量的影响。111名年龄在60 - 91岁之间的受试者（75名女性和36名男性）被分为实验组（n = 76）和对照组（n = 35）。实验组参与希腊传统舞蹈活动，对照组进行讨论和看电视活动，两组活动时长均为1小时。采用主观运动体验量表[麦考利，E.，库尼娅，K.，1994年。主观运动体验量表（SEES）：编制与初步验证。《运动与锻炼心理学杂志》16卷，第163 - 177页]来测量积极幸福感、心理困扰和疲劳程度，并分别使用状态 - 特质焦虑量表[斯皮尔伯格，C.D.，戈尔苏奇，R.，卢申，R.，1970年。《状态 - 特质焦虑量表手册》。咨询心理学家出版社，帕洛阿尔托]来测量状态焦虑和特质焦虑。对舞蹈后所采取的各项测量指标进行相关分析，结果显示，SEES分量表与SAI - Y1分量表之间的整体关系支持了这种运动诱发心理反应测量方法的效标关联效度。独立样本t检验表明，与实验组相比，对照组在休息时以及第二次测量时，状态焦虑水平显著更高（t = - 4.45，p < 0.001；t = - 6.56，p < 0.001）、心理困扰水平显著更高（t = - 4.30，p < 0.001；t = - 5.46，p < 0.001）、疲劳程度显著更高（t = - 3.16，p < 0.01；t = - 3.46，p < 0.001），而积极幸福感水平显著更低（t = 4.23，p < 0.001；t = 6.90，p < 0.001）。舞蹈后，实验组约63%的最大心率被激活，配对t检验显示，状态焦虑（t = 5.02，p < 0.001）和心理困扰（t = 3.14, p < 0.01）显著降低，积极幸福感（t = - 4.44，p < 0.001）和疲劳程度（t = - 2.15，p < 0.05）显著增加。另一方面，对照组未观察到显著差异。因此，希腊传统舞蹈可作为一种功能性的身心活动，为老年人带来身体和心理上的益处。
