EFFECT OF ZUMBA DANCE TRAINING AND AEROBICS ON SELECTED BIO- CHEMICAL VARIABLES AMONG DIABETIC PATIENTS

Abstract

Aim of the study to find out the effect of Zumba training and aerobics training on selected Bio-chemical variable among diabatic patient .Random group design was followed in this study. Randomly selected (N=30) diabetic patients who were undergoing treatment in Government Hospital, Nalgonda were selected as subjects for this study with their consent. The subjects were divided into three groups, experimental group I, experimental group II and control group. Experimental group I underwent Zumba dance practices, experimental group II underwent aerobics and control group was not given any special treatment. Pre tests were conducted for all the subjects on Bio-Chemical Variable . The experimental groups participated in their respective exercises, namely aerobics for twelve weeks and Zumba dance for twelve weeks. The post tests were conducted on the above said dependent variables after a period twelve weeks. The difference between the initial and final scores was considered the effect of respective experimental treatments. To test the statistical significance ANCOVA was used. In all cases 0.05 level was fixed to test the hypothesis.
