Physical inactivity is a major public health concern since it increases individuals' risk of morbidity and mortality. A subgroup at particular risk is postmenopausal overweight women. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and effect of a 12-week ZumBeat dance intervention on cardiorespiratory fitness and psychosocial health. Postmenopausal women with a body mass index (BMI) >30 kg/m² or a waist circumference >94 cm who were not regularly physically active were asked to complete a 12-week ZumBeat dance intervention with instructed and home-based self-training sessions. Before and after the intervention, peak oxygen consumption (VO) was assessed on a treadmill; and body composition and several psychometric parameters (including quality of life, sports-related barriers and menopausal symptoms) were investigated. Of 17 women (median age: 54 years; median BMI: 30 kg/m²) enrolled in the study, 14 completed the study. There was no apparent change in VO after the 12-week intervention period (average change score: -0.5 mL/kg/min; 95% confidence interval: -1.0, 0.1); but, quality of life had increased, and sports-related barriers and menopausal symptoms had decreased. A 12-week ZumBeat dance intervention may not suffice to increase cardiorespiratory fitness in postmenopausal overweight women, but it increases women's quality of life.
缺乏身体活动是一个重大的公共卫生问题，因为它会增加个体发病和死亡的风险。一个特别危险的亚组是绝经后超重女性。本研究的目的是评估为期12周的尊巴节奏舞蹈干预对心肺适能和心理社会健康的可行性和效果。邀请体重指数（BMI）>30 kg/m²或腰围>94 cm且不经常进行体育活动的绝经后女性完成为期12周的尊巴节奏舞蹈干预，包括有指导的课程和在家自我训练课程。在干预前后，在跑步机上评估峰值摄氧量（VO）；并调查身体成分和几个心理测量参数（包括生活质量、与运动相关的障碍和更年期症状）。在参与研究的17名女性（中位年龄：54岁；中位BMI：30 kg/m²）中，14名完成了研究。在为期12周的干预期后，VO没有明显变化（平均变化得分：-0.5 mL/kg/min；95%置信区间：-1.0，0.1）；但是，生活质量有所提高，与运动相关的障碍和更年期症状有所减少。为期12周的尊巴节奏舞蹈干预可能不足以提高绝经后超重女性的心肺适能，但它能提高女性的生活质量。
