The effect of BodyPump exercises on the quality of life among middle-aged females

Introduction: The quality of life for older people is influenced by numerous challenging situations and factors associated with aging and health changes. Generally, physical activity is considered a significant factor in determining one's quality of life. Objective: This study aimed to explore the quality of life for Jordanian middle-aged females, as well as the impact of BodyPump exercises on quality of life. Methodology: fifty-two Jordanian middle-aged females participated in this study and divided into two groups, each with 26 members: a control group (age, 54.3±2 years; height, 166±5.2cm; body mass, 64.5±3.8kg) and an experimental group (age, 53.4±2 years; height, 165±3.2cm; body mass, 63. 5±2.8kg). The study's goals were accomplished by applying means, standard deviations, paired sample t-test, and an independent samples t-test to detect differences in (OPQOL-brief) means according to the bodypump programme using SPSS version 29 with a 95% confidence level (p < 0.05). Results: The study findings revealed that the quality of life for Jordanian middle-aged females was close to low (2.65-2.77). On the other hand, the study findings revealed statistically significant differences between the control and experimental groups in the post-test, favoring the experimental group (2.99, 4.14) respectively. Discussion: These findings are primarily aligned with the results of previous studies. Conclusions: Based on the study results, BodyPump exercise can be used as an indicator among the approved strategies to improve the quality of life for middle-aged females in Jordan.
