Influence of methods of improving motor activity based on the means of rhythmic gymnastics and stretching on physical state of the body of women of the second period of adulthood

Analysis of scientific publications has shown that there is a need to strengthen and maintain the health of persons of the second period of adulthood with the help of recreational physical education. We have developed and implemented a method of improving motor activity based on the means of rhythmic gymnastics and stretching.The purpose of the study was to determine the inuence features of the improving motor activity methods based on rhythmic gymnastics and stretching on the physical condition of the body of women of the second period of adulthood.The research methods-analysis of scientific literature, pedagogical experiment, testing of physical qualities: speed, speed-power, strength, endurance, flexibility, static balance, methods of mathematical statistics.The experiment took place from September 2019 to February 2020. Two groups were formed: an experimental group (EG) and a control group (KG) of 12 women of the second period of adulthood (36-55 years). In both groups, classes were held 2 times a week for 60 minutes. At the beginning and at the end of the experiment testing of all basic physical qualities have been conducted. The EG used a method of health-improving activity - combined means of gymnastics and stretching. In KG, the method of gymnastics have been used. At the beginning of the experiment, there were no significant differences in EG and KG (p > 0.01). At the end of the experiment, significant differences in strength, speed and strength qualities, flexibility and static balance have been obtained in the EG group (p function show_eabstract() { $('#eabstract1').hide(); $('#eabstract2').show(); $('#eabstract_expand').hide(); }
