Treatment of university student stress through dance.

Abstract

The present experimental research work aims to establish the influence of dance practice as a means of reducing stress in students of the Faculty of Medicine of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, and in order to meet this objective, it has been developed a rich theoretical framework that deals with stress considering the effects to reduce this variable through the practice of dance. The type of research was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test applied to 200 students per experimental and control group. The result shows that there is a significant development between the control group that carried out the experiment and the group that did not carry out the experiment.
