“…Aerobic exercise that done for 60 minutes can decrease fat folds under the skin and lose body mass [7]. The motivation of many women in doing exercise is to lose body weight, 28 and a good way in order to achieve this objective anecdotally evidence suggests that is Zumba [8]. Zumba exercise can reduce skinfold thickness than aerobic exercise [9].…”

Zumba and high impact aerobic is a popular training method that can be used to reduce body fat and skinfold thickness. The main aim of the research was to find the significant effect of zumba and high impact aerobic in reducing skinfold thickness. This study was conducted at 30 female members of Jivi Sport and divided into 3 groups with 10 subjects each group. Group 1 was given high intensity aerobic, group 2 zumba, and group 3 conventional exercise 3 times/week during 8 weeks training period. This study was quantitative with matching only design. Data was taken from measurement of skinfold thickness using skinfold caliper at pretest and posttest at 4 skinfold site: triceps, biceps, subscapular, and suprailiaca. Data was analyzed using t test (paired t-test). Result of this study showed that there was a significant decreased of skinfold thickness using zumba and high impact aerobic with p<0.05. Conclusion: zumba and high impact aerobic can be used to reduce skinfold thickness.

“…Numerous physiological and psychological benefits of Zumba ® have been identified in healthy populations, including improvements in dynamic balance, quality of life, lower pain perception, less interference with daily activities, higher self-perception of physical strength, and greater autonomy and purpose in life. [27][28][29][30] Since many of these aspects are affected in PD, it can be hypothesized that Zumba ® could benefit this population. However, to date there is no study on this type of exercise in neurological populations.…”

“…The endurance training consisted of low-and highimpact aerobic dance, which is an effective method to increase physical endurance (Wilmore & Knuttgen, 2003), and the resistance training comprised a progressive weight-lifting programme, which is an effective intervention to improve physical strength (Liu & Latham, 2009). We chose the 8-week period because it had been found that 6 to 8 weeks of either training were enough to both increase aerobic capacity and strength and improve well-being and cardiovascular adaptation to psychological stressor (Delextrat et al, 2016;Spalding et al, 2004). We hypothesised that both endurance-and resistance-trained participants would show lower cardiovascular stress reactivity to and more rapid recovery from psychological stressor, and less life stress, as a consequence of the training.…”

This study tested the effect of 8-week endurance and resistance training programmes on cardiovascular stress responses, life stress, and coping. Fifty-two untrained but healthy female students were randomised to an 8-week endurance training, an 8-week resistance training, or a wait list control group. Before and after the training intervention, we assessed the groups' cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max test), selfreported life stress, coping strategies and cardiovascular reactivity to and recovery from a standardised laboratory stressor. Both endurance and resistance training programmes caused physiological adaptation in terms of increased VO2max after the intervention. For stress and coping parameters, participants in the training groups improved cardiovascular recovery from stress and reported having less stress in their everyday life after the intervention than participants in the control group, while the two training groups did not differ from each other. We did not find any significant differences in heart rate reactivity and coping strategies between the study groups. These results partly support that exercise training has stressreducing benefits regardless of the type of exercise. Both endurance and resistance exercise activities may be effectively used to improve stress regulation competence while having less impact on changing specific coping strategies.
