The Influence Of Rope Skipping Exercise For Independent College Students' Depression

Objective: To study the influence of rope skipping exercise for independent college medical students'depression. Thereby, we can find an inexpensive, effective way to solve medical students'depression. In the same time we observe the effect of depressed students with different personality and coping way for rope skipping exercise.Objects and Methods: There are 822 college students from Zhong Shan college of Da Lian medical university by Zung'depression scale(SDS) to screen out 189 students with depression(SDS score≥50,not Met DSM-Ⅳdiagnose criterion) and drawn out 180 students from them to compose the research group, 180 depressive students were random divided into three groups, they are Long rope skipping group(n=59 students with depression, dropping one student), Short rope skipping group(n=59 students with depression, dropping-down one student) and No exercise group(60 students with depression). Exercise methods adopt the way of twice a week, every time persists 20 minutes, making the heart rate get the 60 percents to 75 percents of the largest heart rate and lasting for 4 weeks'rope skipping exercise. All students have used SDS, Adolescent Life Events scale (ASLEC), Toronto Alexithymia scale (TAS), Eysenck Personality Questio- nnaire (EPQ) and all scales were finished in 40 minutes. Using SPSS soft to analyze the dates, we have used t test, Chi-square test, No Parameter test and Pearson correlation to analysis.Results: There are significant differences in long and short rope skipping exercise group before and after exercise compared with no exercise group in SDS score (t=6.606, p<0.001); There are no significant differences in no exercise group before and after exercise in SDS score (t=0.720, p>0.05);There is significant comparison between long and short rope skipping group and no exercise group(t=3.242, p=0.001); There are no significant comparison between the long rope skipping group and the short rope skipping group before and after training in SDS score(t=0.000, P>0.05); SDS score correlate with solving problems, asking for help(rs=-0.210,-0.314, P<0.05), and standard score N (rs =0.188, P<0.05).Conclusions:1. Middle intension, twice a week, every time persist 20 minutes, and last for 4 weeks'rope skipping exercise, can effectively improve students'depression.2. The improvement level of long rope skipping and short rope skipping for students'depression is equal.3. The worse solve problem and asking for help in coping way is, the better effect of improving depression is. The more unstable students are, the better effect of improving depression is.
