Dynamics of physical condition of persons of the second period of maturity influenced by health-improving motor activity

Analysis of scientific publications showed that there is a need to promote health of persons of mature age by the means of health-improving physical education. The training program should take into account the current physical condition of the body and the state of health, have a moderately developmental focus. The research aim is to determine the dynamics of health condition of persons of mature age of the second period influenced by health-improving motor activity. The research methods are analysis of scientific literature, assessment of the level of physical health according to G.L. Apanasenko and methods of mathematical statistics. The participants were 24 men and 24 women, equally divided into experimental (EG) and control (CG) group. Classes were held 3 times a week for 60-90 minutes for 6 months. At the beginning and at the end of the experiment, the health level has been assessed according to G.L. Apanasenko. EG used the proposed methodology of health-improving activities - functional training, stretching, strength training and aqua aerobics have been combined. Participants of CG independently determined the content of training. At the beginning of the experiment there were no reliably significant differences in EG and CG (p > 0,05). At the end of the experiment in EG, unlike CG, statistically significant (p function show_eabstract() { $('#eabstract1').hide(); $('#eabstract2').show(); $('#eabstract_expand').hide(); }
