EXPERIMENTAL RESULT AND ANALYSIS

Basic situation of changes in the physical shape of female college students

By counting the test data of female college students corresponding to the two classes before and after the training of the special course of sports dance, it can be found that the weight and height indicators related to body shape other than the age indicators that are not affected by sports factors have obvious fluctuations, and the fluctuations of body weight indicators are prominent (p<0.05), and the height index is marked with changes, but not obvious, and still shows no difference (p>0.05). The specific data are shown in Table 1 . By comparing the data, it can be concluded that after the training of the special course of sports dance, female college students get happiness and improvement from the process of watching and learning sports dance, and students naturally feel excited , for the maintenance and regulation of female college students’ body shape has a positive effect, through sports dance training courses, can strengthen the attractiveness of female college students to maintain beautiful body lines, so as to maintain a relatively good state in the daily diet, living habits and other aspects of the course, further strengthen the pursuit of sports and beauty in the sports dance course itself.

. Comparison of body morphological data of the subjects before and after the course (N=60 x±s).

Group	Age	Height (cm)	Body weight (kg)
After the course	18.7±1.27	159.5±1.96	45.7±2.53*
Before the course	18.4±1.27	159.4±1.96	47.9±3.21
Average Difference	0.3	0.1	2.88

• Concentrate:* p<0.05.

By comparing the experimental test data, it can be judged that: After systematic cycle training of sports dance, the research subjects received an all-round improvement of physical and mental happiness and self-quality in the learning process of sports dance training. Therefore, comprehensive and systematic sports dance training has positive value for the improvement and regulation of female college students’ physical shape, and achieving a certain cycle of sports dance sports can strengthen the intention of female college students to pursue body curves, and at the same time promote female college students to maintain a more positive state in activities, diet, social interaction and other aspects outside the course, and further strengthen the relationship between sports dance and beauty.

Taking the weight statistics as the original data for before and after comparison, and using SPSS 20.0 to quantify and analyze the parameters, it was found that the weight index of the study subjects showed a significant correlation with training. The weight fluctuation of the study subjects was obvious, indicating that sports dance had obvious weight loss effect.

Data analysis of physical resilience changes in female college students

At the beginning and end of the sports dance training cycle, the measurement data of the standing long jump of the study subjects were obtained respectively, so as to measure the fluctuation and change of the data and measure the fluctuation of the physical toughness of the study subjects. Table 2 shows that after the special cycle training of physical dance, the physical toughness of the study subjects was significantly improved. Therefore, special training in sports dance can improve the flexibility of the body of female college students, improve the function of soft tissues around sports joints, and the toughness and elasticity of muscles, ligaments and tendons. The relationship between physical toughness and health is extremely close, and the improvement of flexibility has a positive effect on enhancing the body’s coordination, better exerting strength, speed and other qualities, improving skills and techniques, preventing sports injuries, and improving physical health.

. Data comparison related to the physical toughness of the study subjects before and after training.

Physical Toughness	Long jump indicator/cm	Body forward bending/cm
Before training	158.4±13.91	9.555±2.56
After training	162.7±26.27	11.518±2.37
Average Difference	4.3±0.13	2

Basic information on changes in body composition of female college students

With the help of the instrument to carry out the data statistics and analysis of the body composition of the research subjects, the statistical summary of data collection before and after the special training course of sports dance is obtained, as shown in Figure 1 , through data comparison, it can be seen that the influence of sports dance course training on the two reference points of female college students’ body composition is obvious. Fat weight and proportion decreased significantly, lean body mass and proportion increased significantly, these two indicators for evaluating physical health from the perspective of body composition has a good reference, it is foreseeable that after a longer period of special training in sports dance, the body composition of female college students will develop in a more favorable direction.

Figure 1
Comparison of body composition data of study subjects before and after the course.

After a certain period of periodic sports dance exercise, the two indexes of fat mass and lean body mass of the study subjects changed significantly, fat weight and body fat percentage decreased significantly, and lean body mass and lean body content increased significantly.

The above two indicators have a good physiological basis and basis for evaluating physical health from the perspective of body composition. Considering the long-term nature of the exercise cycle on body composition changes, the longer the periodic dance sport training, the more likely the body composition of female college students to improve in a more positive direction.

CONCLUSIONS

This paper studies the effects of sports dance training on the physical form, toughness, composition, and psychological changes of female college students, and concludes as follows.

This paper has been trained by the special course of sports dance, which has a positive effect on the maintenance and regulation of female college students’ body shape, and through the sports dance training course, it can strengthen the attractiveness of female college students to maintain beautiful body lines, so as to maintain a relatively good state in terms of daily diet and living habits outside the course. After the training of the special course of sports dance, the female college students’ body flexibility is significantly enhanced, and the enhancement of flexibility helps to improve the flexibility of joints, improve the function of soft tissues around joints and the stretchability of muscles, ligaments and tendons. The special course on sports dance has a positive effect on the improvement of body composition of female college students. After the training of dance, the psychological adjustment of the study subjects has improved, and this change indirectly promotes the improvement of other indicators of the study subjects, and will also promote the comprehensive and balanced development of the study subjects during their school studies.
