THE POTENTIAL OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TO PROVIDE WORK LONGEVITY FOR WOMEN AGED 45-60

The purpose of the research is to study the potential of physical activity in ensuring longevity at work and the barriers that prevent its realization in women aged 45-60.

Methods and organization of research. To realize the purpose of the research, a study of morphofunctional parameters was carried out; body composition was studied with the bioimpedance analyzer of metabolic processes ABC-02 «MEDASS». To determine the anaerobic capacity, we performed a modified Wingate test. The Borg scale was used for a subjective assessment of the load level. To assess the lifestyle and barriers to physical activity, a questionnaire survey was conducted among women aged 45-60, representing professions such as «man-sign system» and «man-man», with higher education, living in the Republic of Tatarstan.

Research results and their discussion. The study of morphological and functional indicators, body composition and anaerobic capacity of women aged 45-60 showed that physiological parameters depend little on self-assessment of health, except for indicators of anaerobic power. Women with high physical activity rate the intensity of their aerobic efforts lower. The body mass index, muscle and fat mass, the proportion of body fat, the ability to differentiate the dynamic parameters of the movements of the studied women, revealed during the study, do not correspond to the proper age norms. Two-thirds of the women studied are not systematically engaged in physical culture; the main barriers to physical activity are high workloads at work and at home; lack of perseverance and patience; lack of relevant knowledge and skills. With a low assessment of the potential of physical activity in ensuring labor longevity, women aged 45-60 are ready to engage in group forms of physical activity, preferring swimming, dancing and Pilates.

Conclusion. Non-participation in physical activity programs for women aged 45-60 may be due to established behavioral stereotypes, lack of knowledge about the potential of physical activity and negative experience of participating in sports and recreational activities.
The study of the functional state of the body of women aged 45-60 years and the barriers that prevent their physical activity, as well as taking these data into account in stimulating and motivating them to participate in physical activity programs, in our opinion, can become one of the factors in ensuring longevity at work, which will become the main goal of our further research.
