The influence of DanceSport on the mental health of patients with chronic diseases: a systematic review

Background

Chronic diseases have a significant influence on patients' mental health. DanceSport, as a form of exercise that combines physical activity, musical expression, and social interaction, may serve as an effective means of improving the physical and mental health of patients with chronic diseases; however, the current evidence regarding the influence of DanceSport on the mental health of these patients remains unclear. Clarifying this relationship will provide guidance for promoting mental health and designing exercise intervention programs for individuals with chronic diseases. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of DanceSport on the mental health of patients with chronic diseases.
