Comparison of the Effects of Electrostimulation and Zumba Exercise on Some Physical and Physiological Parameters of Sedentary Women

Abstract

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Electrostimulation (EMS) exercise, which is a popular research topic recently, whose effectiveness and benefits are frequently stated in the literature, and zumba exercise, which is also a popular type of exercise, on some physical and physiological parameters in healthy sedentary women. A total of 30 women (35.8 ± 1.4 years) volunteered for this study. The participants were randomly divided into EMS (n:15) and Zumba (n:15) groups. Then, for a total of 6 weeks, the EMS group performed EMS exercise two days a week, and the Zumba group performed Zumba exercise two days a week. The body composition, blood pressure, maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), strength performance and determined blood parameters of the participants were evaluated at the beginning and end of the study. Each exercise session was followed by heart rate monitoring system in order to evaluate the participants' maximal, average heart rate and total calories burned. Moreover, rate of perceived exertion was recorded at the end of each exercise with the Borg scale. When intergroup comparison performed, a statistically significant difference was found in favor of the Zumba group in the values of body weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage and. VO2max There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in strength and blood lipid parameters. It can be said that both EMS and zumba practices have positive effects on body composition, strength and blood lipid levels when the duration of each session and the total duration of the exercises as well as intra-group changes are evaluated.
