(1) Background: Physical inactivity is a major public health concern in modern society. Group fitness programs are widely used to promote physical activity, combining choreographed movements with various dance steps and music. This study aimed to examine the effects of Zumba and MoFit group fitness programs on body composition parameters in women. (2) Methods: The study included 98 female participants (Mean age = 27.8 ± 2.9 years), divided into three groups: E1 (n = 33), which followed the experimental Zumba program; E2 (n = 31), which followed the experimental MoFit program; and a control group (n = 34), which continued with their usual daily activities for 10 weeks. Body composition was assessed using 14 variables measured with the InBody 270 analyser. Statistical analyses included paired -tests, MANCOVA, and ANCOVA. (3) Results: The findings confirmed the positive effects of both group fitness programs on most body composition parameters in women ( < 0.001). However, Bonferroni post hoc test results indicated that the Zumba program led to significantly greater improvements in most body composition variables compared to the MoFit program. (4) Conclusions: Both Zumba and MoFit programs were effective in reducing body fat, increasing muscle mass, total body water, and mineral content, whereas the control group did not achieve positive changes.
(1) 背景：缺乏身体活动是现代社会主要的公共卫生问题。团体健身项目被广泛用于促进身体活动，它将编排好的动作与各种舞步及音乐相结合。本研究旨在探讨尊巴和MoFit团体健身项目对女性身体成分参数的影响。(2) 方法：该研究纳入了98名女性参与者（平均年龄 = 27.8 ± 2.9岁），分为三组：E1组（n = 33），遵循实验性尊巴项目；E2组（n = 31），遵循实验性MoFit项目；以及对照组（n = 34），在10周内继续其日常活动。使用InBody 270分析仪测量14个变量来评估身体成分。统计分析包括配对t检验、多变量协方差分析和协方差分析。(3) 结果：研究结果证实了这两种团体健身项目对女性大多数身体成分参数都有积极影响（P < 0.001）。然而，Bonferroni事后检验结果表明，与MoFit项目相比，尊巴项目在大多数身体成分变量上带来了显著更大的改善。(4) 结论：尊巴和MoFit项目在减少体脂、增加肌肉量、总体水量和矿物质含量方面均有效，而对照组未实现积极变化。
