Choreographic Group-Based Fitness Classes Improve Cardiometabolic Health-Related Anthropometric Indices and Blood Lipids Profile in Overweight Sedentary Women

Background: Choreographic group-based fitness classes are the most common type of physical activity practiced by women, being a viable and sustainable strategy to improve general health. Thus, aim this study was analyze effect 16-week healthy lifestyle program, based on choreographic classes, cardiometabolic health-related anthropometric indices metabolic blood profile among overweight sedentary women. Methods: A total 50 (Body Mass Index = 27.68 ± 1.19 kg/m2) middle-aged women (39.73 7.41 years) were randomly assigned an experimental exercise group structured (CFC) with Zumba Fitness program (3 days/week; 60 min/session) (CFC 30) or non-exercise control (CG 20). The (waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, body shape index, conicity abdominal volume adiposity index), pressure, glycemia, lipid [triglycerides (TG), cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), High (HDL)] evaluated pre- post-intervention. Results: 40 participants competed pre/post measures. Post-intervention, CFC (n 25) presented significant improvement in all as well TG, HDL, LDL compared CG 15). Conclusion: could significantly
