“…Thus, the significant increase in FS in the DG does not characterize festination, suggesting that the DG appeared to better adjust to the mechanical parameters of locomotion [ 38 ]. Our findings demonstrate the benefit of dance practice for improving the biomechanical quality of gait of these individuals, which may reduce the risk for falls, agreeing with previous studies [ 30 , 38 ].…”

Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) causes motor and nonmotor disorders in patients. Unlike aerobic training, potential adaptations from the practice of dance are less understood in PD, particularly compared with better known exercise modes. This study aimed to verify and compare the effects of a Brazilian dance program, inspired by Samba and Forrró rhythms, and a walking program on functional mobility and spatiotemporal gait parameters in patients with PD. Methods Eighteen participants with PD were divided into a dance group (DG) and a walking group (WG) and were assessed before and after an intervention period of 24 1-h sessions, performed twice per week for 12 weeks. The timed-up-and-go test (TUG) and walking kinematics at self-selected speed (SSS) and fast speed (FS) were determined. The generalized estimating equation method was used to compare the DG and WG pre- and post-intervention and to evaluate the group*time interaction (α < 0.05). Results Both groups demonstrated a significant improvement in TUG test at SSS ( p = 0.02; effect size [ES] = 0.42) and FS ( p = 0.02; ES = 0.24). In general, spatiotemporal parameters remained unchanged, except at SSS, in which the DG increased the stride frequency ( p = 0.011; ES = 0.72). At FS, the swing time demonstrated a significant group*time interaction ( p < 0.001; ES = 1.10), in which the two groups exhibited different behaviors: DG decreased ( p = 0.015) and WG increased ( p = 0.012). Conclusions Functional mobility improved similarly in both groups. The results suggest that a 12-week program of Brazilian dance was sufficient to produce improvements in functional mobility and gait in individuals with PD. Trial registration This study is registered with the International Clinical Trial Registry under number NCT03370315 . Registered December 28, 2017 - Retrospectively registered.

“…Engagement in the practice of exercise is extremely important for better functional gains in this patient population [ 13 , 15 ]. In this sense, it is essential to find different activities that can offer benefits to individuals with PD so that they can engage in the one that best ensures well-being and pleasure [ 14 , 30 ].…”

“…As a result of the study, it was observed that 8-week zumba exercise program made a significant difference in the improvement of post-exercise balance performance in dynamic balance tests similar to the literature, however, zumba studies also improved posture control. Many studies have reported that participation in regular zumba exercises creates significant positive changes in static and dynamic balance parameters [13,32] and that zumba dance activities create significant improvements in static and dynamic balance values even in patients with Parkinson's disease [33]. In 2018, Baştuğ examined the effects of dance exercises on body composition, flexibility, balance and concentration, including zumba, and recommended regular dance exercises for the development of all these features [34].…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in body composition-dynamic balance and functional movement capacity of 60 female high school students with body mass index (BMI) over 24.9 before and after the eight-week zumba exercise program. Material: The study included 60 volunteer healthy young women whose body mass index was higher than 24.9 (mean age: 16.75 ± 0.43 years, mean weight: 75.99±10.91 kg, mean body fat: 36.83 ± 6.1%, BMI: 29.56 ± 4.12). The portable stadiometer Seca-213 was used to determine the lengths of the study group. TANITA-Bc 545 N Innerscan Segmental Body Composition Analyzer, “Y-Balance Test was implemented to determine the dynamic balance values for the lower and upper extremities, Functional Movement Screen (FMS) test was used to determine functional movement capacity. To determine the number of heart beats during zumba exercises, Polar M430 Heart Rate Monitor was used and a total of 24 zumba exercise sessions were conducted from three days a week for eight weeks. Results: According to the findings of the study, during the 8-week zumba training program, it is seen that it provided statistically significant improvement in total body weight loss (p=.000), BMI parameter (p=.000), body fat % (p=.002), FMS values (p=.000) and lower an upper extremity dynamic balance parameters (p=.000). Conclusions: It was found that the eight-week zumba training program had positive effects body composition values, functional mobility assessment results and dynamic balance parameters of high school students with a high body mass index of 15-17 years of age.

“…Zumba is an aerobic fitness program which combines Latin and other international upbeat music with dance moves and can enhance aerobic fitness [43]. A few intervention studies have examined the effectiveness of Zumba on health and physical fitness outcomes among multiple clinical and non-clinical populations [11,44,45,46,47]. A systematic review conducted on the overall health benefits of Zumba reported that it enhanced aerobic and cardiovascular outcomes such as weight loss (1-3.6% reduction), body mass index (BMI) (1.1-3.7%), and waist circumference (3.5-4%) in participants within programs that lasted 8-40 weeks [47].…”

Introduction: Regular participation in physical activity (PA) can prevent chronic disease and mental illness across the lifespan and during later adulthood. Few PA interventions have been implemented in underserved Filipino American women to address health related outcomes among this population. Purpose: This study assessed the effect of a culturally relevant community-based Zumba® program on anthropometrics, physical fitness, and exercise motivation among midlife Filipino women. Methods: We employed a single-group pretest-posttest design. Twenty-one female participants were recruited from Filipino community-based organizations (CBOs) in the Greater Philadelphia region. Sixteen female participants (N=16, M age = 55.88, SD = ± 9.479) completed the 8-week program, which consisted of attending three Zumba classes per week at the Filipino CBOs, which was led by a certified Zumba instructor of Filipino ethnicity. A paired samples t-test was conducted to detect the differences between the pre-and post-outcome measures. Results: A total of 16 out of 21 participants completed the intervention and the post-intervention assessment (76% retention rate). Adherence to the Zumba classes was 42.46% among participants who completed the post-intervention. With regards to pre-and post-primary outcome measures, there was a significant reduction in body weight (-3.18±2.61 lbs., p < 0.001), body mass index (BMI) (-0.44±0.49 kg/m 2 , p = 0.002), and increase in flexibility (1.93±3.22 cm, p = 0.035) among participants. There were no statistically significant differences in exercise motivation inventory (EMI-2) subscales, except affiliation scores increased among participants overall (-0.750±1.38, p = 0.047). Discussion: The incorporation of this community-based program can be a promising approach for potentially enhancing health outcomes for underserved Asian American populations such as Filipino Americans. Future research can examine the long-term impacts of Zumba and other exercise modalities for chronic disease prevention and management.
