Abstract Background The increase in life expectancy and age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, is a global challenge. Given the drawbacks of pharmacological treatments, it important to pursue non-pharmacological strategies for dementia risk reduction. To effectively promote health well-being later life, multimodal, low-threshold, cost-effective lifestyle interventions are needed.

The study aims to investigate whether physical exercise is associated with psychological resilience, thereby significantly affecting adolescent social anxiety, and analyze the longitudinal cross-temporal stability between these three interrelated factors. methodology involved a survey utilizing International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Social Anxiety (SAS) across various regions in China, including Sichuan, Guangdong, Shanxi Province, Beijing. A total of 1259 participants were recruited from primary, middle, high schools, an average age 13.7 years. sample comprised 626 males 633 females. tracking approach was implemented, commencing June 2023, follow-up rounds scheduled every months, culminating four rounds. results are as follows: (1) positively correlated resilience (r = 0.35, p < 0.001) negatively anxiety - 0.26, 0.001); (2) could predict next period (PET1 → SAT2: β 0.31, (3) Psychological played mediating role association on PRT2: 0.42, PRT2 SAT3: 0.38, p-values 0.001). exercise, exhibit stability, has significant lagged effect anxiety. may indirectly reduce through its enhanced adolescents.

With the development and popularization of sports dance, dance teaching has become a required elective course in universities. Sports can not only improve students' comprehensive quality, but also affect college healthy psychology. The use VR (Virtual Reality) technology education will definitely develop promote education. This paper studies an effective feature extraction method for characteristics movements based on VR. edge features all video images each segment are accumulated into one image, directional gradient histogram extracted from it. results show that compared with current robust regression cascade method, our higher positioning accuracy pollution test set, more than 75% sample errors this within 0.1. verifies effectiveness motion recognition algorithm recognition. Dance effectively resist psychological barriers students their quality.
