Benefits

Stronger you

We already know the health benefits of moving and working out, but how does the Swedish statistics really look like?

• Around 65% of Swedes aged 16–84 report being active at least 30 minutes daily, with no change in a decade.

• 13–15% report sedentary leisure habits — with older adults and lower education groups most affected.

• Just 25 minutes of dance can cut depression symptoms by ~47%; 45 minutes can drop anxiety by ~57%.

• WHO data shows globally 31% of adults (and a staggering 80% of teens) fall short of recommended activity targets.

• Dance is shown to reduce stress better than traditional gym workouts by lowering cortisol and boosting endorphins and oxytocin.

• Martial arts training shows a medium positive effect on reducing internalizing mental health issues (depression, anxiety) and improving overall wellbeing.

• It also enhances stress management, self-esteem, discipline, emotional regulation, and cognitive control.
