摘要：The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of 12-week regular zumba exercises on antropometric properties. A total of 20 women who participated in the study were consisted of 10 for experimental group and 10 for control group with a mean age of 38.25 ± 4.22 who performed regular zumba exercise for 12 weeks. In the research, two measurements were taken as pre and post tests. In the study, body fat percentage measurements were taken by bioelectrical impedance analyses method and ciccumference measurements were taken by tape measure. The data obtained at the end of the research were evaluated in SPSS program. Arithmetic mean, standard deviation values of the measurements, intra and intergroup differences and percentage development differences were obtained. According to the findings of the research, a significant difference of p<0.001 value has been detected, as a result of the measurements taken for the body weight, BMI, BFB, waist, hip, abdomen, chest, lower chest, right leg, left leg, right calf, left calf, right arm and left arm measurements. With regard to the hip circumference, no significant difference has been detected between the groups. The change rates were observed within a 12-week period are as follows: 4,80% in the body weight, 4,87% in BMI, 5,75% in the BFP, 3,82% in the waist, 3,91% in the hip, 3,91% in the abdomen, 3,88% in the hip, 2,69% in the chest, 4,01% in the lower chest, 5,07% in the right leg, 4,76% in the left leg, 5,44% in the right calf, 5% in the left calf, 4,41% in the right arm and 3,78% in the left arm. A significant difference was found at the p <0.001 level in the first and last measurements of all variables of Zumba group. In conclusion, it can be said that 12-week regular Zumba exercises have effects on the reduction of Antropemetric properties.
