Objective To explore the intervention efficacy of exercise prescription (EP) on stress-related emotions in parachute training for special operations force (SOF) soldiers. Methods A total of 40 SOF soldiers undergoing parachute training in a military college from April to July 2016 were subjected as the research objects, and were randomly divided into experimental group (n=19) and control group (n=20). The participants from the former group received EP intervention training, while those of the latter group did not. Profile of mood states scale (POMS), acute stress response scale (ASRS) and sensitive physiological and biochemical indicators were used to compare the intervention efficacy on parachute related stress between the 2 groups. Results After 8 weeks of EP training, the results of POMS indicated that all factors were greatly improved in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). In the experimental group, the score of negative emotions was decreased by 21.48, while those of positive emotions increased by 12.38. But no such significant changes were seen in the control group. Compared with the control group, the scores of ASRS items were significantly reduced in the experimental group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The results of blood physiological and biochemical indicators showed that the sensitive indicators, serum atrial natriuretic factor (ANP), angiotensin-Ⅱ (Ang-Ⅱ) and endothelin (ET) were obviously decreased in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Conclusion Exercise prescription exerts intervention effect on the adverse reactions of parachute-related stress emotions in SOF soldiers.
