COMPREHENSIVE METHOD OF OPTIMIZING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AS A FACTOR IN ENSURING WORK LONGEVITY OF WOMEN AGED 45-60

The research purpose is to develop a comprehensive methodology for optimizing the physical activity of women aged 45-60 and to experimentally prove its effectiveness.

Methods and organization of the research. The following research methods were used: assessment of morphofunctional indicators (body weight, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, hand dynamometry (kg); physical fitness testing; 6-minute Cooper test on an elliptical trainer (m); assessment of the severity of symptoms caused by physical activity according to the Borg scale (points); formative pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics. Women aged 45-60 years representing the professions of the «person-person» and «person-sign system» types were involved in the study. 

Results of the research and their discussion. A method for optimizing the physical activity of women aged 45-60 years has been developed, including strength training, training to improve balance and joint mobility, cardio training, specific exercises to ensure women's health and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Physical culture and health classes were held for eight months three times a week for 60 minutes and were supplemented by the participation of members of the health group in the «Walking Man» program, independent morning exercises, the content of which was determined by the scientific group. The effectiveness of physical culture and health classes was expressed in the increase in physical fitness, the ability to reproduce the accuracy of strength efforts; weight loss and increased physical performance of the women under study. 

Conclusion. Physical culture and health classes contribute to positive changes in functional indicators and physical fitness of women aged 45-60 and can be recommended for widespread use.
