However, HRQoL in apparently healthy adults has been little studied, despite the fact that they represent a high percentage of the population who also demand health services. HRQoL has been widely studied in populations with some chronic or specific disease or pathologies, such as cancer, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, obesity, hypertension, lupus, generalized chronic pain among others. It is considered an important public health research topic and could contribute to the detection of health problems beyond medical controls. Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) is defined as a multidimensional concept mainly based on a person’s subjective judgment of physical, functional, emotional, and social well-being. Conclusions: A 16-week dance fitness intervention based on Zumba Fitness classes generates notable improvements in a wide range of HRQoL dimensions in sedentary middle-aged worker women, especially in V, PR and MH dimensions. DF group showed increases in GH, PF, SF, V, PR, and MH post-intervention. No statistical differences were observed between exercise groups post-intervention, except in V. Results: The control group statistically differed from both exercise groups in PF and PR, and from the DF group in SF and MH showing a lower score. HRQoL was assessed by the 36-Item Short-Form Health-Survey (SF-36), which evaluates 8 dimensions of health scored from 0 (worst) to 100 (best health status). Methods: 65 sedentary middle-aged worker women (38 ± 7.3 years old) completed a 16-week intervention randomly assigned to: (1) dance fitness group based on Zumba Fitness classes (DF group, n = 25)], (2) dance fitness + functional strength training group (DFFT group, n = 20), and (3) control group ( n = 20).

The parent/guardian must fill in the booking form and sign the declaration on behalf of the child. Each class should feel like a party and we don’t want to spoil that atmosphere by speaking through the tracks! But don’t worry if you find it tricky to pick up the moves, they will start to become more natural to you after a few classes, honest! In a Zumba class, it really doesn’t matter if you don’t get all the steps straight away, it isn’t about your dance technique or ability, a Zumba class is much more about having fun, raising the heart rate and dancing along to the music – even if you are freestyling your own routine! All fitness levels are very welcome to join this class, no dance experience necessary! It's a variable intensity follow-along session and high impact movements (such as those in which both feet leave the ground at once) are kept to a minimum, but you can choose to keep your movements small or you can make them as big as you like! Important: If booking on behalf of other participants, please select the number of 'single session' tickets required, then click on 'add another attendee' at the checkout and ensure you have filled in the attendee details accurately for each participant and asked them to read and accept the participant declaration 14-16 year olds are permitted only with a parent/guardian also participating in the class.
This 30 minute session isn’t just a dance fitness class – it’s a dance fitness party! With an awesome original Zumba soundtrack filled with world rhythms, you’ll be too busy having fun to notice you’re working out! Zumba is a follow-along class and Zumba instructors do not verbally cue within the routines, allowing the participants to fully appreciate and enjoy the music. 'en Joy dance fitness Zumba online classes run on alternate Thursdays (on a rotating timetable with Flex + Flow), 9:30am – 10am, via Zoom.
