Body combat™ classic music improves adolescent's state of mind

Abstract

The objective is to analyze the effect of non-music practice and music of the body combat ™ program on the moods of 29 adolescents, 18 females and 11 males aged 12 to 15 years. The LEA-RI list of 14 adjectives (7 positive and 7 negative variables), applied before and after body combat ™ classes, in the first week without music was used, second week with music. McNemar's Shapiro-Wilk test and χ2 test were used to verify the association of variables with significance of p<0.05, that is, 10%, 5% and 1%, with a confidence interval of 90, 95 and 99%, respectively. In the music class, the positive feelings were: "happy/joyful" (p=0.0001), "spiritual" (p<0.001), "active/energetic" (p=0.0263), "light" (p<0.001) increased. In the variables of negative feelings: "sad" (p=0.0008), "unpleasant" (p=0.0013), "shy" (p=0.0001) and "fearful" (p=0.0001), decreased. In the classes with and without music the adjective "tired" (p=0.0001) and (p=0.0020) increased respectively. It was found that body combat ™, applied with music, significantly increased positive feelings and negative reduction, being a motivational resource to adhere to physical exercise.
