The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of dance sports for twelve weeks on physical self-efficacy in post-menopausal depression obese women. A total 38 women participated in this study, and they were divided into three groups: mild-depression group(n=9), light-depression group(n=14) and control group(n=15). For the exercise program in this study, a dance sports program performed at an intensity of heart rate reserve 50~80%, 60 minutes of exercise time, and the frequency of 3 times a week. Physical self-efficacy for mild-depression group after 12-week dance sports program was significantly increased compared to before the exercise. Although light-depression group and control group didn't show significant increase in physical self-efficacy, dance sports is expected to act positively on mental stability, such as depression and hope used as an effective tool to improve the quality of life. Furthermore, we expect a convergence is achieved between the sports science and medical research sectors.

As a results, social support, family support, ADL and IADL was found to be in a positive correlation with depressive symptoms. With the analysis of covariance structure, social support was more influential on the level of depressive symptom than family support and physical function. It was found to have the inter-relational effects that the greater the social support, family support and physical function, the lower the level of depressive symptoms.

Depression is one of the greatest health concerns in the world. Symptoms include emotion disorders, loss of appetite, reduction in interest, and insomnia. The prevalence of depression is increasing rapidly around the world and in South Korea. Elderly people are vulnerable to depression, resulting in serious socioeconomic problems. Depression in the elderly can cause sleep disorders, cognitive impairment, memory impairment, and many other diseases. Additionally, depression can cause frailty, which is associated with increased falls, chronic diseases, and mortality. Therefore, this study empirically analyzed sleep disorders in relation to depression, the link between exercise and the hippocampus in mitigating depression, and physical activity and exercise in the management of depression for successful aging.

본 연구의 목적은 젊은 성인들의 레저인식과 우울한 기분 완화 레저행동 간의 관계를 조사한 연구로서, 호주의 대학생 433명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. '활동적 사회적', '일관련', '스포츠 신체적', '창조적', '파괴적', '휴식적', '수동적 기술의존적' 모두 8개의 우울한 기분 완화 레저 행동 형태가 분석되었고, 이 중 '활동적 사회적', '스포츠 신체적', '야외활동과 여행' 요인이 '레저인식'에 정(+)의 관계의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 우울한 기분 완화 레저행동 요인들은 레저인식의 4개 하위차원과도 유의한 관계를 갖고 있었으며, '현명한 레저참여' 요인이 우울한 기분 완화 레저행동과 가장 높은 관계를 갖고 있었으며, 다음은 '레저기술'로 나타났다, '레저지식'과 '레저태도'는 비교적 전자보다 낮은 관계성을 갖고 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

Using the Korean longitudinal study of ageing(KLoSA), this study examines the effect of the participation in physical exercises and in social networking on the experience of depressive symptoms among elderly. This study differs from previous studies in two ways. First, this study avoids omitted variable bias by using an extensive set of control variables that are associated with the experience of depressive symptoms. Second, this study explores the composite effect of two different leisure time activities. This study provides empirical evidence that the participation in physical activities and in social networking reduces the probability of experiencing depressive symptoms. This study provides important insights on the future research on the mechanism how leisure time activities influence physical and mental health of elderly.

This study was attempted to verify the mediating effects of depression and physical health on the effect of Korean boomers' assets on life satisfaction. The 5th main survey data of the National Retirement Security Panel(KReIS) were used for this purpose. As a result, first, baby boomer's asset level has positive effect on life satisfaction. Second, the asset was able to confirm the positive effect of increasing physical health and satisfaction of life. Third, depression and physical health had a mediating effect between baby boomer's assets and life satisfaction. Based on the results of this study, policy suggestions were made to improve the life satisfaction by reducing the depression of baby boomers and improving physical health.
