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.

Elektrostimülasyon ve Zumba Egzersizinin Sedanter Kadınlarda Bazı Fiziksel ve Fizyolojik Parametreleri Üzerine Etkilerinin Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, son dönemlerde popüler bir araştırma konusu olmakla beraber etkinliği ve faydaları literatürde sıklıkla bildirilen elektrostimülasyon (EMS) uygulaması ile yine popüler bir egzersiz türü olan zumba egzersizinin sağlıklı sedanter kadınların bazı fiziksel ve fizyolojik parametreleri üzerinde etkilerinin karşılaştırılmasıdır. Çalışmaya yaş ortalamaları 35.8±1.4 yıl olan toplam 30 kadın gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Katılımcılar rastgele EMS (n:15) ve Zumba (n:15) grubu olarak ikiye ayrılmıştır. Daha sonra toplamda 6 hafta olmak üzere, EMS grubuna haftada iki gün EMS uygulaması, zumba grubuna ise yine haftada iki gün olmak üzere zumba egzersizleri yaptırılmıştır. Çalışmanın başında ve sonunda katılımcıların vücut kompozisyonu, kan basıncı, maksimal oksijen tüketimi (VO2maks), kuvvet performansları ve belirlenen kan parametreleri değerlendirilmiştir. Her bir egzersiz seansı katılımcıların maksimal, ortalama kalp atım hızları ve toplam harcanan kalorininin değerlendirilebilmesi için Realtrack Seego marka nabız monitörleme sistemi ile takip edilmiştir. Ayrıca BORG skalası ile her bir egzersiz sonunda algıladıkları zorluk dereceleri kaydedilmiştir. Gruplar arası karşılaştırma yapıldığında, vücut ağırlığı, beden kütle indeksi (BKI), vücut yağ yüzdesi ve maxVO2, değerlerinde zumba grubu lehine istatiksel olarak anlamlı fark tespit edilmiştir. Kuvvet ve kan lipit parametrelerinde ise gruplar arası istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark tespit edilememiştir. Uygulamaların her bir seans süresi ve toplam süreleri ayrıca grup içi değişimler değerlendirildiğinde hem EMS hem de zumba uygulamasının vücut kompozisyonu, kuvvet ve kan lipit düzeyleri üzerinde olumlu etkileri olduğu söylenebilir.
