The Effect of Zumba Exercise on Body Composition, Strength and Balance Skills in Folk Dancers

This study investigates the effects of an 8-week Zumba exercise program on body composition, muscle strength, and balance skills in male and female folk dancers aged 19-25 years. Participants are randomly assigned to either a Zumba exercise group, performing sessions twice a week, or a control group without exercise. The study aims to determine whether Zumba can improve physical fitness and postural control in folk dancers, especially examining any differences between genders.
