Abstract:

This study investigates the impact of traditional martial arts education on college students' social adjustment abilities, employing a biotechnological approach alongside traditional psychometric assessments. The research initially examines the influence of martial arts on various aspects of students' social capabilities, including adaptability, moral development, competitive consciousness, and resilience. Biotechnological tools, particularly those used in neurobiological and physiological assessments, were integrated to analyze the biological underpinnings of the psychological changes attributed to martial arts training. The experimental design included both an intervention group, which participated in regular martial arts training, and a control group, which did not. Advanced biotechnological methods were used to measure changes in brain activity, stress hormones, and other physiological markers that correlate with psychological health and social behavior. This comprehensive approach allowed for a nuanced analysis of how martial arts affect students' psychological and biological states, particularly focusing on anxiety, depression, self-esteem, compulsiveness, and social withdrawal. Findings from the study indicated significant improvements in the experimental group, with reductions in anxiety (decrease by 3.03 points), depression (2.9 points), low self-esteem (4.74 points), compulsiveness (1.69 points), and social withdrawal (2.31 points), alongside a notable total mean score decrease, all with high statistical significance (p<0.01). These results not only reaffirm the psychological benefits of martial arts training but also suggest underlying biological mechanisms that facilitate improved social adaptation. This research underscores the potential of integrating biotechnological methodologies in educational settings to enhance understanding and provide empirical support for the benefits of traditional practices like martial arts. The findings open avenues for commercial applications in educational biotechnology, promoting the development of programs that combine physical training with cognitive and social development.
