Dance Technique Proficiency and Psychophysiological Well -Being among Dance Sport Athletes in Slected Universities in Hubei China

Abstract

Dance sport, as a discipline that integrates athletics and artistry, embodies competitiveness, performativity, and entertainment, exerting profound impacts on physical morphology, physiological fitness, and mental health. This study employs a mixed-methods approach-combining in-depth interviews, questionnaire surveys, and literature analysis-to investigate dance sport students and instructors in Hubei universities. The findings reveal that dance sport significantly improves body composition, cardiovascular elasticity, and cardiopulmonary endurance at the physiological level. Psychologically, it enhances psychological resilience, alleviates academic stress, and boosts learning focus. Promoting dance sport in higher education not only fosters students' holistic development but also strengthens campus culture by enhancing academic motivation. These outcomes underscore the necessity of integrating dance sport into university curricula to address the dual demands of physical and mental well-being in the era of digital transformation.
