JUSTIFICATION OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE HEALTH AND TRAINING PROCESS OF AQUAFITNESS FOR WOMEN IN THE EARLY MIDDLE AGE WITH DIFFERENT BODY TYPES

Abstract

The relevance of this study is determined by the increasing psycho-emotional and physical load experienced by women in the early middle age, which creates the need for effective methods to maintain health and physical activity. Aqua fitness, combining a safe aquatic environment with corrective and training effects, contributes to the development of motor skills, improvement of the cardiorespiratory system, and psycho-emotional state. The aim of the study is to develop and theoretically substantiate a program of aqua fitness classes for women in early middle age, taking into account a differentiated approach. The research methods included theoretical analysis of scientific and methodological literature, assessment of women’s motivational priorities regarding aqua fitness, anthropometric methods, functional studies, and statistical analysis. The developed wellness program employs a differentiated approach, which includes defining organizational and methodological conditions, goals, objectives, means and methods, as well as the stages of conducting sessions. Special attention was paid to detailing all stages of the training process, considering somatotype differences, principles of wellness training, and recommendations of leading researchers. The proposed structural-stage model of aqua fitness for women in the early middle age with different somatotypes ensures a differentiated organization of sessions, promotes the development of motor skills, improves physical and psycho-emotional condition, and regulates body volume parameters according to individual characteristics.
