This study aimed to examine the effects of Zumba fitness on lifestyle-related factors and blood oxidative stress in middle-aged women. The subjects were selected from 14 middle - aged women and the subjects were exercised three times a week for 8 weeks and the following conclusions were obtained.

A. The lifestyle-related factors (blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride) of the exercise group were decreased and statistically significant difference was found (p <.01, p <.05). In the control group, lifestyle-related factors were significantly different only in blood glucose (p <.01) and there was no significant difference in total cholesterol, triglyceride, and oxidative stress in the control group. There was a significant difference only in triglyceride between the two groups (p <.01). B. Changes in oxidative stress in exercise group decreased significantly (p <.05).On the other hand, there was no significant difference in the control group. There was no significant difference between the two groups.

In conclusion, Zumba fitness has positive effects on lifestyle-related factors and changes in blood oxidative stress. Future research will be able to prevent various diseases such as lifestyle diseases by analyzing changes in antioxidant ability of Zumba fitness which is a function of the body antioxidant system that protects and eliminates oxidative stress caused by various subjects and causes.
