What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Tai Chi Combined with Music Therapy InterventionBehavioural
Tai Chi combined with music therapy Intervention, the effect was achieved by replacing the school's physical education classes with Tai Chi of the researchers' choice, and then by playing music of the researchers' choice during class; twice a week for twelve weeks
Music intervention onlyBehavioural
Music only (120-130 bpm) The effect was achieved by playing music selected by the researchers during originally physical education classes in school; twice a week for twelve weeks
Tai Chi intervention onlyBehavioural

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) at week 12
The SDS, developed by American researchers Zung (1965), is specifically designed to evaluate the degree of depression in participants. The survey comprises 20 items, and participants express their feelings using a Likert scale ranging from 1 (Never) to 4 (Always). The SDS has been widely utilized worldwide to measure depression levels, demonstrating strong internal consistency and validity (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.832), and has been well-established in clinical and research settings (Campo-Arias et al., 2006).
Measured: 12 weeks
Change from the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) at week 12
The SAS developed by American researchers Zung, (2013), is tailored to assess the anxiety level of participants. This instrument consists of a concise 20-item questionnaire, and participants use a Likert scale ranging from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 4 (Strongly Agree) to express their emotions. The SAS exhibits robust psychometric properties in assessing participants' anxiety levels, with acceptable reliability values. The internal consistency, measured through Cronbach's Alpha, is 0.897, and the test-retest reliability, represented by the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), is 0.913 (Samakouri et al., 2012).
Measured: 12 weeks
