Summary

This study looked at whether a 6-week Zumba program could improve quality of life, love of life, and psychological resilience in sedentary young women aged 18-25. 36 participants were split into a Zumba group and a control group that stayed sedentary. Researchers measured changes using standard questionnaires before and after the program.
