“…Functional performance was evaluated through the assessment of dynamic balance, functional mobility, walking speed, and lower body muscle strength, which were measured with the standard valid and reliable tests for women aged over 50 years old, such as the Functional Reach Test (FRT) [46], Timed Up and Go (TUG) test [47], 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT) [48] and the 30S Chair Stand Test [49], respectively. These selected tests are relevant and appropriate for our target population, recognizing that older adults may have unique functional needs and limitations.…”

This study aimed to compare the effects of Zumba and Pilates training on functional performance, mood, and health-related quality of life in postmenopausal women. Fifty-four postmenopausal women, aged 55–65, were randomly allocated to a control group (CG), a Pilates group (PG), or a Zumba group (ZG). Functional performance factors, in terms of walking speed, lower body muscle strength, dynamic balance, and functional mobility, as well as mood and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), were assessed before and after the intervention period. As results, both training modalities significantly improved the walking speed (PG (p < 0.001)/ZG (p < 0.001)), strength (PG (p < 0.001)/ZG (p < 0.05)), dynamic balance (PG (p < 0.001)/ZG (p < 0.001)), and functional mobility (PG (p < 0.001)/ZG (p < 0.001)), as well as mood (PG (p < 0.01)/ZG (p < 0.001)). Additionally, both intervention programs significantly improved their HRQol [physical function (PG (p < 0.001)/ZG (p < 0.001)) domain and SF36 total scores (PG (p < 0.01)/ZG (p < 0.001))] with better performance following Zumba training. However, the domains of social function (p < 0.001), mental health (p < 0.001), and role limitation due to emotional problems (p < 0.05) significantly enhanced only for the ZG. In conclusion, Pilates or Zumba training appears to be an ideal exercise for promoting functional performance, mood, and HRQoL in postmenopausal women. However, Zumba training seems to be more effective, resulting in optimal scores.

The current study aimed to explore the effect of daily caffeine supplementation (100 mg/day) and 12-week of Zumba training on functional performances in middle-aged women. Eighty-five middle-aged women were randomized into 4 groups including control, Zumba training (ZT), caffeine supplementation (Ca) or caffeine-Zumba training (Ca + ZT) groups. Functional performances were assessed using 10 m Walk, Timed Up and Go, Functional Reach, and 30-Second Chair Stand tests. As results, ZT, Ca and Ca + ZT intervention programs showed a significant ( p < 0.05) functional performances improvement. However, Ca + ZT group showed significant ( p < 0.001) better scores in terms of mobility (95%CI [0.71, 1.43]), gait speed (95%CI [0.52, 1.71]) and lower body endurance strength (95%CI [-6.93, -1.92]), except for dynamic balance (95%CI [-9.41, -3.44]). In conclusion, 12-week of Zumba training improves functional performances in middle-aged women, and daily caffeine intake is an effective alternative for improving such performances. Supplementing caffeine (100 mg/day) to Zumba training was effective in boosting Zumba benefits on these functional performances.
