Abstract
Introduction: Exercise is very important in each and every individual’s life. Zumba exercise is a form of physical exercise that combines all the exercise which is beneficial for the body. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of zumba exercise training on pulmonary function tests in individuals.
 Materials and Methods: This study was carried out among 60 individuals where 30 people belonged to a normal group and 30 people were zumba dancers. The values were recorded through a computerised spirometer. This study was done among zumba dancers in the Chennai region. The results were analysed using SPSS software. unpaired T test was used to analyse the statistical significance. p<0.05 was considered significant.
 Results: The mean values of the lung function test for FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC ratios were 3.73, 2.88 and 82.33% respectively and all the values were statistically not significant.
 Conclusion: The study showed that pulmonary function tests in zumba dancers were good when compared to the control group.

Summary
Exercise is very important in each and every individual’s life. Zumba exercise is a form of physical exercise that combines all the exercise which is beneficial for the body. Results: The mean values of the lung function test for FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC ratios were 3.73, 2.88 and 82.33% respectively and all the values were statistically not significant. Conclusion: The study showed that pulmonary function tests in zumba dancers were good when compared to the control group. Zumba exercise is an important exercise that improves physical fitness which reduces chronic diseases [1] This physical activity improves muscle strength and boosts your endurance. People who do zumba have more lung capacity compared to the control group This teat s essebtiial for diagnosing and assesing severity of many pulmonary disorders.Spirometry helps to diagnose breathing problems such as asthma and COPD [3]. PFT can be measured by a mouthpiece attached to a small electronic machine It gives the perfect values of FVC, FEV and FEV1/ FVC [4]
