Beach tennis has become a popular sport, but research on its mental health benefits is scarce. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have examined the effects of beach tennis on anxiety symptoms.
To assess the effect of a single session of beach tennis, in both singles and doubles modes, on anxiety symptoms.
Twenty-two recreational players (11 women, age: 35.00 [13.50] years) were evaluated. Each participant underwent three intervention sessions in random order: one-on-one match (singles), two-on-two match (doubles), and a control session (non-exercise). State anxiety and affective responses were measured before and after each intervention.
For men, no significant interaction between time and session was found ( = 0.646). In women, there was a significant interaction between time and session ( = 0.002). Anxiety symptoms significantly decreased from pre- to post-singles condition ( = 0.007) and from pre- to post-doubles condition ( = 0.010). A significant difference was observed between the post-singles and post-control conditions ( = 0.002).
Beach tennis demonstrated an anxiolytic effect in women, with significant reductions in anxiety symptoms following both singles and doubles sessions. However, no such effects were observed in men. These findings suggest that beach tennis could be a viable intervention for managing anxiety symptoms in women. The study was registered in the Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry (registration code: U1111-1293-7949).
沙滩网球已成为一项受欢迎的运动,但关于其对心理健康益处的研究却很少。据我们所知,尚无研究考察过沙滩网球对焦虑症状的影响。
评估单节沙滩网球单打和双打模式对焦虑症状的影响。
对22名休闲运动员(11名女性,年龄:35.00[13.50]岁)进行了评估。每位参与者按随机顺序接受了三个干预环节:一对一比赛(单打)、二对二比赛(双打)和一个对照环节(非运动)。在每个干预环节前后测量状态焦虑和情感反应。
对于男性,未发现时间和环节之间存在显著交互作用(=0.646)。对于女性,时间和环节之间存在显著交互作用(=0.002)。从单打前到单打后以及从双打前到双打后,焦虑症状均显著降低(=0.007和=0.010)。在单打后和对照环节后观察到显著差异(=0.002)。
沙滩网球对女性具有抗焦虑作用,单打和双打环节后焦虑症状均显著减轻。然而,在男性中未观察到此类效果。这些发现表明,沙滩网球可能是管理女性焦虑症状的一种可行干预措施。该研究已在巴西临床试验注册中心注册(注册号:U1111-1293-7949)。
