Comparative analysis of the impact of fitness yoga and air yoga on the physical condition of women 30-35 years old

Relevance. Currently, women are particularly interested in engaging in psychoregulatory programs, namely fitness yoga and air yoga. Scientific research has proven the effectiveness of the use of health programs on the body of those involved. However, from the point of view of the theory and practice of physical culture and health technologies, it is interesting to identify similarities and differences in their impact on the physical condition of women when using the same methods, volume and intensity. Despite the fact that the main tool in both programs are asanas, the conditions and nature of their implementation differ from each other, which is due to the use of special additional equipment in air yoga - a hammock. The purpose of this work is to conduct a comparative analysis of the effect of fitness yoga and air yoga on the physical condition of women 30-35 years old. Research methods. To assess the level of physical condition, the following were used: 1) the spirometry method - the study of the vital capacity of the lungs; 2) functional tests that determine the activity of the respiratory system (Stange, Genchi); orthostatic test, characterizing the reaction of the cardiovascular system to changes in body position; 3) tests that determine the level of physical fitness (strength, flexibility, coordination). Results of the study. Wellness programs have a beneficial effect on the activity of the respiratory, cardiovascular system, contribute to improving the level of physical fitness. At the same time, it was revealed that air yoga mainly affects the response of the cardiovascular system associated with a change in body position, as well as on indicators of strength and coordination. Conclusion. Fitness yoga and air yoga help to increase the level of physical condition of women 30-35 years old. In women engaged in air yoga, the dynamics of growth in the indicators of orthostatic test, strength and coordination is affected not only by the performance of physical exercises, but also by changing the initial positions carried out with the help of hammock grippers with hands, body pull-ups, exits from inverted hangs under the sacrum, under the groin, requiring active work of the muscles of the shoulder girdle, chest and abdomen. At the same time, the hammock reduces the area of stable support, so the dynamics in the coordination indicators of women engaged in air yoga is higher than in women engaged in fitness yoga.
