BACKGROUND: Scientists have recorded a significant increase in a sedentary lifestyle among the middle-aged population. Study aim was to develop a group training program for suspension training and prove its effectiveness in lowering the percentage of bodyfat level for women using unconventional diagnostic equipment.
METHODS: Participants: women of 30-40 years old who do not have contraindications to physical aerobic exercises (N.=24). The research period is 12 months. Some women (N.=12) carried out group exercises in suspension training mainly with TRX loops. The indicators of the percentage of bodyfat level were evaluated by following methods: weighing on a smart scale Xiaomi Mi Body Composition Scale, measuring with a caliper and hydrodensitometry. The statistical analysis of data was performed using Student’s t-test.
RESULTS: A significant (P<0.01 and P<0.05) advantage of women who are engaged in achieving suspension training a higher level of the training process effectiveness for “burning” body fat deposits, compared with other programs of group and independent aerobic fitness has been revealed.
CONCLUSIONS: The research has proven on the basis of mathematical and statistical processing of the results that classes in health-improving group suspension training in a stable motor mode of an aerobic nature improves proportional body composition of middle-aged women. The author’s recommendations on the implementation of non-traditional diagnostic procedures for the percentage of bodyfat level body composition measuring allows to increase motivation to set individual goals for middle-aged women in the field of body shaping.
