Experiencing Flow in a Workplace Physical Activity Intervention for Female Health Care Workers: A Longitudinal Comparison between Football and Zumba

Flow is a rewarding psychological state that motivates individuals to repeat activities. This study explored healthcare workers’ flow experiences during a workplace exercise intervention. Seventy-nine females were assigned to either a 12-week football or Zumba exercise intervention and their flow experiences were assessed at the beginning, midway and at the end of the intervention. The results showed that both intervention groups experienced medium levels of flow and an increase in flow values over time. A significant positive correlation between experiencing flow midway through the intervention and adherence to regular physical activity 18 weeks after the end of the intervention was found. Furthermore, repeated measures throughout the intervention period showed a significantly different development of flow values over time for the adherers and nonadherers. Flow therefore may be of importance for adherence to regular workplace physical activity. Future research needs to investigate the importance of flow in other physical activity settings, especially also for male participants.

Effects on muscle strength, maximal jump height, flexibility and postural sway after soccer and Zumba exercise among female hospital employees: a 9-month randomised controlled trial

ABSTRACTThis 9-month randomised controlled workplace physical activity trial investigated the effects of soccer and Zumba exercise, respectively, on muscle strength, maximal jump height, sit-and-reach flexibility and postural sway among female workers. A total of 107 female hospital employees aged 25–63 were cluster-randomised to a soccer group, a Zumba group or a control group. Training was conducted outside working hours as two to three 1-h weekly sessions the first 3 months and once a week the last 6 months. Tests were conducted at baseline, after 3 and 9 months. The soccer group improved maximal neck extension strength both after 3 (1.2 kg; P < 0.05) and 9 months (1.7 kg; P < 0.01) compared to the control group. The Zumba group improved maximal trunk extension strength (3.1 kg; P = 0.04) after 3 months, with improvements in postural sway velocity moment (−9.2 mm2/s; P < 0.05) and lower limb lean mass (0.4 kg; P < 0.05) after 9 months. No significant intervention effects were revealed in vertical jump height or sit-and-reach flexibility. The present study indicates that workplace-initiated soccer and Zumba exercise may be beneficial for improvement of the neck and trunk strength, which may have preventive effects with regard to future perceived muscle pain in the respective body regions. Furthermore, the Zumba group revealed positive effects on lower limb lean mass and postural sway compared to the control group.

Profil TNF-α sesaat setelah melakukan senam zumba

Abstract: Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) is one type of pro inflammatory cytokines produced by macrophages and T cell as response to acute inflammation and trauma. Exercise can be the cause of the physical stress that can lead to muscle and joints damage. Damaged muscles and joints which caused by exercising will be responded by the body inflammatory system to release pro inflammatory cytokines. Zumba fitness is an exercise that combines dance and aerobic steps. It is an application form of High Intensity Interval Training. The objective of this research is to determine the TNF-αprofile of medical students of Sam Ratulangi University shortly after zumba exercise. This research is an experimental study using post test design. The respondents are 18 medical students of Sam Ratulangi University batch 2014 who met the inclusion criterias. Blood samples were taken as soon as the respondents finished 1 hour of zumba exercise. TNF-α levels were measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent essay (ELISA) Quatikine ® Human TNF-𝛼. Based on the research the highest level of TNF-α is 97,59 mg/mL and the lowest level is 34,25 pg/mL with average levels of TNF-α is 75,27 pg/mL. It can be concluded that the levels of TNF-α of all subjects lay on normal range (10 pg/mL – 100 pg/mL).Keywords: TNF-α, immune system, zumbaAbstrak: Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) merupakan salah satu jenis sitokin pro-inflamasi yang diproduksi oleh makrofag dan sel T sebagai respon inflamasi akut atau respon terhadap trauma.

Among the physical fitness workouts, the efficiency of the weight training and zumba exercises on the body composition in men and women

Among the physical fitness workouts; whereas the weight training is one of the most prevalent physical activities used for men, the zumba dance workouts has become popular for women in the last decade, as an entertaining alternative approach. In this research, the effects of the weight training on the body composition in men and the zumba dance workouts in women have been studied. 90 sedentary individuals (44 men, average age: 30.70 ± 6.44; 46 women, average age: 29.13 ± 5.80) attending a fitness center had received weight training and zumba classes (during 2 months, 3 days each week, each session 45/60 minutes). The exercise intensity that had been kept low at the beginning was increased in the following weeks for both programs. The body composition analysis have been carried out at the start and then monthly, through bioelectrical impedence method. During the process; the medical histories of the participants as well as their levels of readiness for and participation to the physical activities have been monitored. Both sex have been evaluated separately. The descriptive statistics techniques and repeated measures ANOVA have been used to analyze the data. At the end of the study, the positive effects of both exercise programs on the body compositions of the sedentary men and women have been observed. As a conclusion, it has been recorded with the present study once again that the weight training is still an efficient and valid method for men and also, the zumba workouts are efficient for women as a popular method.
