В статті розглядаються морфологічні показники жінок віком від 20 до 69 років, які протягом семі місяців
займаються кардіо-силовим тренінгом по фітнес програмі FitCurves. Досліджувались основні морфологічні показники:
довжина, маса та індекс маси тіла. Встановлено, що серед загальної популяції жінок з віком зростає відсоток жінок з
надмірною вагою та ожирінням різного ступеня. Регулярні заняття фітнесом по програмі FitCurves призводить до
незначної корекції статури та зниження маси тіла, що вказує на недостатність впливу фізичних навантажень.
The article describes the analysis of the situation in the Ukrainian fitness industry. Today about 1090000 people in Ukraine
are engaged in fitness, which makes 2.6% of the total population. It is shown that the leader in the fitness network and the largest
number of consumers in Ukraine has the American micro-club operator FitCurves. The purpose of our study was to investigate the
effects of FitCurves fitness classes on morphological indices in women of different age groups. The morphological indexes of women
aged 20-69 years, who were engaged during the course of seven months in cardio-strength fitness training program FitCurves, were
considered. The main morphological parameters were studied: length, mass and body mass index.
As a result of the study, it was found that the absolute body mass index of the women under study varied in the range of
54-110 kg and the body length from 152 to 173 cm. The analysis of the results revealed that some women lost more weight than
other women. Some women even overweight. We have explained the result obtained by the peculiarities of nutrition (since only
physical activity is not sufficient for weight loss) and the peculiarities of metabolism. Unfortunately, with age, metabolism is slowing
down, which affects the overall outcome of the study. At the same time, the regular effect of physical activity led to a decrease in the
mean values of anthropometric indices of women regardless of age and type of body structure, but these changes were not
statistically significant. In our opinion, the lack of fitness programs FitCurves is that it does not have an individual approach to every
woman. There is a general program performed by women, regardless of age, physical training, in addition, it did not last in t ime. At
the same time, the constant physical workload offered by FitCurves does not cause significant figure correction. It has been
established that among the general population of women with age, the percentage of women with overweight and obesity of varying
degrees increases. Regular FitCurves fitness sessions result in insignificant body composition and weight loss, indicating insufficient
exercise.
