简要总结
This randomized controlled trial examined the effects of a 12-week Zumba exercise program combined with halotherapy on body composition, aerobic capacity, and physical fitness parameters in adult women. Participants were randomly assigned to a Zumba plus halotherapy group or a control group. Physical fitness tests and body composition measurements were performed before and after the intervention.
详细描述
Zumba is a popular aerobic dance-based exercise known to improve cardiovascular fitness and body composition. Halotherapy, involving exposure to salt-enriched air, has been suggested to support respiratory function and overall well-being. However, evidence regarding the combined effects of Zumba training and halotherapy is limited.
This study aimed to investigate whether combining halotherapy with regular Zumba training would provide additional benefits compared to no intervention.
