ABSTRACT
Recently, Zumba practices were introduced to enhance the physical and social outcomes of the students. This study ascertains the effectiveness of Zumba exercises (individual- collective) on the physical outputs sought by the physical and health education course offered at the preparatory year for the university students. The current study employs a quasi-experimental pre-post-test design. Students were divided into two groups, one experimental and the other control. The potential participants included around 1040 students from the science track who took the course during the first semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. The research sample was selected using the specific selection method which reached 60 students; 30 for each group. Zumba group exercises were employed in the warm-up part and as homework for the experimental group, and the method followed at college was employed by the controlled group. Some fitness tests were used to measure the factors of speed, muscle strength, agility and periodic respiratory endurance. From the results, the experimental group attained higher mean scores than students in control group. The study concluded that Zumba exercises are very effective in the teaching and learning process of physical education courses.
