Zumba fitness (ZF) is a well-known exercise program involving dance and fitness. Despite its increasing popularity, no analysis has been conducted on studies focusing on the cardiovascular (CV) profile of women who performed this activity. The aim of this systematic review is to provide insights into the impact of ZF on women's CV health.
Five clinical databases were searched. To be included, the articles had to include (1) women with or without CV risk factors (CVRF) and (2) CV-related outcomes resulting from a ZF program.
Ten studies (322 women; 181 healthy, 141 with CVRF) were included. In healthy women, low absolute effect sizes for maximal oxygen uptake ((Equation is included in full-text article.)O2max), anthropometric and body composition profile after 8 and 12 wk of ZF were found compared with nonparticipants. Moderate to large absolute effect sizes were recorded for (Equation is included in full-text article.)O2max and body composition following 40 wk of ZF. Findings proved promising but less consistent for ZF studies involving women with CVRF due to the absence of control groups.
Data describe ZF as feasible for healthy women and a promising fitness option for those with CVRF. Because of the low quality of the studies on women with CVRF and the overall small sample size along with discrepancies such as the average length of the studies on healthy women, cautious interpretation of the findings is recommended. Further investigations with a standardized design are needed to verify whether ZF may be considered as an alternative fitness option in primary prevention of CV disease in women.
尊巴健身（Zumba fitness，ZF）是一种广受欢迎的运动项目，融合了舞蹈和健身元素。尽管它越来越受欢迎，但目前还没有针对进行这项活动的女性心血管（cardiovascular，CV）特征的研究进行分析。本系统评价旨在深入了解 ZF 对女性 CV 健康的影响。
我们检索了 5 个临床数据库。纳入标准为：（1）有或无心血管危险因素（cardiovascular risk factors，CVRF）的女性；（2）由 ZF 项目产生的 CV 相关结局。
共纳入 10 项研究（322 名女性；181 名健康女性，141 名有 CVRF）。与非参与者相比，健康女性在进行 8 至 12 周 ZF 后，最大摄氧量（(Equation is included in full-text article.)O2max）、人体测量和身体成分参数的绝对效应量较小。而在进行 40 周 ZF 后，(Equation is included in full-text article.)O2max 和身体成分的绝对效应量较大。由于涉及有 CVRF 的女性的研究缺乏对照组，因此这些发现对于 ZF 研究来说虽有前景但不太一致。
数据表明 ZF 对健康女性是可行的，并且对于有 CVRF 的女性也是一种有前途的健身选择。但由于涉及有 CVRF 的女性的研究质量较低，以及健康女性研究的平均长度等差异导致整体样本量较小，建议谨慎解释研究结果。需要进一步进行标准化设计的研究，以验证 ZF 是否可以被视为女性 CV 疾病一级预防的替代健身选择。
