EFFECTIVENESS OF GRADED APPROACH IN THE BODY SHAPING FITNESS TRAINING FOR WOMEN AGED 21 – 35

Abstract

The paper presents a study addressing the issue of efficient use of a graded approach in group fitness training classes for women aged 21 – 35. It allows optimal selection of tools and load parameters during shape correction training for women with respect to the shapes in letter classification. The purpose of the study was to develop a methodology for a healthy shaping workout for women aged 21 – 35 using a graded approach. Research methods used include: analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature; visual shape assessment; anthropometry; pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics. To achieve the goal of correction individual problems were solved in each subgroup of women. For women with X-type shape, the main task is uniform reduction of fat in the upper and lower parts of the body. For women of A-type the goal is to build the upper body and reduce hips. For women of N-type the goal was to reduce the waist and shoulders improving the shape of the buttocks, for the T-type – reduction of the upper body and improving the shape of the buttocks. The results showed that the developed method of body-shaping fitness workout for women aged 21 – 35 years using a graded approach, taking into account the shape type in letter classification enables effective correction of the composition and volume of the body. The practical significance of the research lies in the fact that the developed and tested methodology can be used by instructors in the fitness clubs in the group and individual in fitness training lessons aimed at correcting women’s physique.
