Introduction: Total-body aerobic gymnastics involving the whole body offers an innovative aspect regarding afterburn effects.
Objectives: This study aimed to prove that 45 minutes of total-body aerobic gymnastic exercise with 88 beats per minute was significantly more effective than 45 minutes of walking exercise with a low-intensity steady state.
Methodology: Materials and methods, this inferential study used a two-group experimental design involving as many as 50 sedentary adult women to prove that total-body aerobic gymnastic exercises were more effective than LISS exercises in improving body composition. The instrument used is body composition analysis (InBody). The data analysis techniques are the sapphire will test and independent samples t-test.
Discussion: In the total-body aerobic gymnastics group, the body mass index decreased from 29.4 0.22 Kg/m2 to 24.1 0.29 Kg/m2 (p<0.05), decreased from 36.2% to 31.3 0.33% (p<0.05), and there was an increase in body muscle percentage from 29.8 0.52% to 33.9 0.67% (p<0.05). No significant changes were observed in the walking with LISS group (p>0.05).
Conclusions: total body aerobic gymnastics is significantly more effective than walking with LISS in improving body composition.
