Özet: The aim of the study was to examine the effects of zumba and aquatic exercises on anthropometric and motoric features in sedentary women. The study consists of 60 sedentary women (age Avg.= 41.90 ± 8.75), 30 of which are an aquatic exercise group and 30 zumba exercise group who regularly participated in Zumba and Aquatic exercises three days a week during the study. The body composition analysis was determined by using the bioelectrical impedance method. The body mass (kg) and height, waist, hip, chest, thigh circumference measurements, and bio-motor characteristics of flexibility and balance measurements were performed pre and post of the study for all subjects. Paired sample t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used as statistical analysis. When the pre-and post-exercise values of the groups were compared, in body weight, body mass index, fat-free mass (FFM), flexibility, balance, fat mass, chest, hip, waist circumference, and body fat %, it was found statistically significant differences among all these parameters in the aquatic exercise group. In Zumba exercise group; a statistically significant difference was found between the women's body weight, BMI, FFM, flexibility, balance, fat mass, chest, hip, waist circumference, and body fat percentage (BF%) measurements. When the groups were compared, significant differences were found in the parameters of FFM, fat mass, flexibility, and balance.
