Abstract
The study investigates the effects of a 16-week Ultimate Frisbee program on depression, self-esteem, and sleep quality among college students with depression. Utilizing stratified random cluster sampling, 30 students participated in weekly 90-minute sessions, which included skill training, mini-games, and matches. Measurements were taken using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17), Self-esteem Scale (SES), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Post-intervention, participants showed significant improvements: reduced HAMD-17 scores, increased SES scores, and improved PSQI scores. Specifically, the program demonstrated a significant efficacy rate of 66.7% and an overall efficacy rate of 93.3%. Ultimate Frisbee is recommended as a valuable complementary therapy for managing depression in college students, contributing to a holistic approach to mental health care.
