Abstract
Our study, conducted on thirty sedentary women from Kerala, India, with an average age of 30±1 years, an average weight of 78.1±1.4 kg, and an average height of 161±1 cm, has yielded significant results. The women were divided into three groups based on their initial lipid profile levels: a control group (no exercise), a low-intensity Zumba group, and a moderate-intensity Zumba group. The Zumba exercise groups trained for eight weeks. After the training period, lipid profiles were reassessed. The striking results indicated that the moderate-intensity Zumba exercise significantly improved the blood lipid profiles compared to the low-intensity Zumba and control groups at a 0.05 significance level. This finding is crucial as it suggests that moderate-intensity Zumba exercises are more effective than low-intensity Zumba in improving blood lipid profiles in sedentary women from Kerala.
