Sedentary participants (age range = 40 - 55 years; N = 40: BMI > 25) were randomly assigned to two groups: an intervention treatment of "aero mass aerobic dancing" and conventional low-impact aerobic dancing. Classes were held for 50 minutes, 3 days per week, for 12 weeks. Repeated measures were examined at week 1, week 8 and week 12. Mixed repeated ANOVA revealed statistically significant time effects for Total Stress Scores (p < 0.01) with eta square =0.59 (large effect) at week 8 and week 12. Furthermore, the time by group interaction was also statistically significant for total stress score (p < 0.05) with eta square = 0.18 (large effect). In addition, the result for between-subject effects indicates significant F (1, 38)=7.74, p < 0.05, eta = 0.17, and therefore there was a significant difference in the stress level scores in the intervention group compared to the control group. Subjects of the intervention group, "aero mass aerobics dancing", experienced the most benefits. 2013-02-07T06:28:42Z 2013-02-07T06:28:42Z 2012 Article Biology of Sport, vol.29 (1), 2012, pages 63-69 0860-021X http://biolsport.com/abstracted.php?level=5&ICID=984944 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/23420 en Institute of Sport
