: The protective properties of high physical fitness levels on health are manifest independently of age, sex, fatness, smoking, alcohol consumption, and other clinical factors. However, women are less active than men, which contributes to low physical fitness and a high risk of CVD. Thus, the objective of this study is to analyze the effect of two exercise interventions on health-related physical fitness in sedentary employed females. : A total of 98 physically inactive adult women were randomly assigned to 3 study groups: the control group (CG) = 31, the endurance training group based on Zumba Fitness classes (ET; = 39), and the concurrent training group that had an extra muscle-strengthening workout after the Zumba Fitness class (CnT; = 28). Body composition (BMI, waist circumference), motor fitness (one-leg stand test), musculoskeletal fitness (shoulder-neck mobility, handgrip strength test, jump and reach test, and dynamic sit-up test), and cardiorespiratory fitness (2-km test and estimated VO max) were assessed with the ALPHA-Fit test battery for adults. : Both interventions showed a significant improvement in the majority of health-related fitness and body composition variables/test (waist circumference: ET = -2.275 ± 0.95, = 0.02, CnT = -2.550 ± 1.13, 0.03; one-stand leg test: ET = 13.532 ± 2.65, < 0.001; CnT = 11.656 ± 2.88, < 0.001; shoulder-neck mobility: ET = 1.757 ± 0.44, < 0.001, CnT = 2.123 ± 0.47, < 0.001; handgrip test: 0.274 ± 0.08, < 0.001, CnT = 0.352 ± 0.08, < 0.001; dynamic sit-up: ET = 1.769 ± 0.45, < 0.001, CnT = -1.836 ± 0.49, < 0.001; 2-km test time: -1.280 ± 0.25, < 0.001, CnT = -1.808 ± 0.28, < 0.001; estimated VO max: ET = 1.306 ± 0.13, < 0.001, CnT = 1.191 ± 0.15, < 0.001). There were no significant differences after the intervention between the two exercise intervention groups. : Exercise interventions based on Zumba fitness or Zumba fitness combined with an extra muscle-strengthening workout based on bodyweight training exercises are effective strategies to improve the health-related physical fitness in sedentary women employees.
：高身体适应水平对健康的保护作用独立于年龄、性别、肥胖、吸烟、饮酒和其他临床因素而显现。然而，女性的活动量低于男性，这导致了身体适应水平较低和心血管疾病风险较高。因此，本研究的目的是分析两种运动干预对久坐职业女性健康相关身体适应的影响。
：共有 98 名身体不活跃的成年女性被随机分配到 3 个研究组：对照组（CG）= 31 名，基于尊巴健身课程的耐力训练组（ET；= 39 名），以及在尊巴健身课后进行额外肌肉强化锻炼的联合训练组（CnT；= 28 名）。身体成分（BMI、腰围）、运动适应能力（单腿站立测试）、肌肉骨骼适应能力（肩颈活动度、握力测试、跳跃和触及测试、动态仰卧起坐测试）和心肺适应能力（2 公里测试和估计最大摄氧量）使用成人 ALPHA-Fit 测试组合进行评估。
：两种干预措施均显著改善了大多数健康相关身体适应和身体成分变量/测试（腰围：ET = -2.275 ± 0.95， = 0.02，CnT = -2.550 ± 1.13， 0.03；单腿站立测试：ET = 13.532 ± 2.65， < 0.001；CnT = 11.656 ± 2.88， < 0.001；肩颈活动度：ET = 1.757 ± 0.44， < 0.001，CnT = 2.123 ± 0.47， < 0.001；握力测试：0.274 ± 0.08， < 0.001，CnT = 0.352 ± 0.08， < 0.001；动态仰卧起坐：ET = 1.769 ± 0.45， < 0.001，CnT = -1.836 ± 0.49， < 0.001；2 公里测试时间：-1.280 ± 0.25， < 0.001，CnT = -1.808 ± 0.28， < 0.001；估计最大摄氧量：ET = 1.306 ± 0.13， < 0.001，CnT = 1.191 ± 0.15， < 0.001）。两种运动干预组在干预后没有显著差异。
：基于尊巴健身的运动干预或尊巴健身结合基于体重训练的额外肌肉强化锻炼是改善久坐职业女性健康相关身体适应的有效策略。
