Bu çalışmanın amacı, 12 haftalık Zumba, Bosu ve Pilates egzersizlerinin kadınların proaktif kişilik, öznel zindelik, psikolojik iyi oluş ve öznel mutluluk düzeylerine etkisini incelemektir. Araştırma, kontrol ve deney grubundan oluşmaktadır. Haftada 3 gün 1 saat Bosu, Zumba ve Pilates egzersizleri yapan 54 kadın (Xyaş=30.63±4.47 yıl) deney grubunu oluşturmuştur. Kontrol grubu ise düzenli spor yapmayan 39 kadından (Xyaş=27.21±5.74 yıl) oluşmuştur. Ölçümler için kısaltılmış proaktif kişilik ölçeği, öznel mutluluk ölçeği, iyilik hali ölçeği ve öznel zindelik ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler ile bağımlı gruplar t-testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular, deney grubunda ön test ve son test değerleri arasında anlamlı farklılıklar göstermiştir (p<0.05). Araştırmanın sonucuna göre, 12 hafta boyunca düzenli olarak Zumba, Bosu ve Pilates yapan kadınların, herhangi bir sportif faaliyette bulunmayan kadınlara göre proaktif kişilik özelliklerinin daha yüksek olduğu ve buna bağlı olarak kendilerini daha iyi ve mutlu hissettikleri ortaya konmuştur.
