| Summary: | <p>The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary meal plan on</p><p>anthropometric andphysiological indices such as body weight, Body Mass Index</p><p>(BMI), waist and hip circumferences, percentage of fat and blood pressure among</p><p>overweight women practicing Zumba. The participants consisted of 20 overweight</p><p>women who wereaged 18 until 55 years old, which were not involved in weight loss</p><p>program, not onmedication, did not have any chronic diseases and did not consume</p><p>any weight losssupplement or meal replacement. Body weight, BMI, waist</p><p>circumference, hip circumference, percentage of fatand diastolic and systolic blood</p><p>pressure were measured at the end week 1, week 4 and week8. Zumba exercise</p><p>together with dietary meal plan interventions were given to all participants and the</p><p>data were collected by using 24-hours diet recall and 3-days diet record. The effects</p><p>of Zumba exercise with applied meal plan were analyzed by using one-way repeated</p><p>measures MANOVA. The resultsshowedthatZumba exercise combined with dietary</p><p>meal plan showed a significant different in body weight (p<.001), BMI (p<.001), hip</p><p>circumference (p<.001), waist circumference(p<.001), and percentage of fat (p<.001)</p><p>after 8-week intervention. However, therewere no significant difference in the systolic</p><p>blood pressure (p<.05) after 8 weeks of intervention. Interestingly, these data</p><p>showsignificant difference between week 1 vs week 4 (p < .001) in this study. This</p><p>study concludes that meal plan and Zumba exercise provide significant effects on</p><p>body weight, BMI, hip and waist circumference, percentage of fat and systolic blood</p><p>pressure (week 1 vs week 4) thus may improve anthropometric and physiological</p><p>indices among overweight women.</p> |
