PEDAGOGICAL DESIGNING OF HEALTH-IMPROVING SHAPING LESSONS WITH WOMEN OF MATURE AGE

The article is dedicated to the study of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of mature women's motion state, which is one of the most important issues of the modern development of health-improving physical culture. The purpose of the research involves theoretical reasoning, elaboration and approbation of the pedagogical designing technique of health-improving exercises with women of mature age. The following research methods were used: theo-retical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, ranking, interviewing (using question-naires), anthropometric methods, complex of medical and biological methods, pedagogical testing, psychological test-ing, pedagogical observation, pedagogical designing, pedagogical experiment, statistical methods of material pro-cessing. At the first stage of the research, values and guidelines of motivation of women of mature age (21-55 years) were identified; their initial physical state, level of physical fitness, as well as functional and mental states. The criteria for an individually-differentiated approach to the designing of health-improving shaping training were defined, taking into account the biorhythms of the female body. At the second stage, the objectivity of the obtained initial diagnostic data made it possible to determine the main task plan of the health-improving process for mature women. At the third stage, a general scheme of organizing an individually-differentiated method of the formation of the health-improving shaping classes with women of mature age was developed. The nine-months macrocycle of health-improving shaping exercises (September-May) consisting of three stages: preparatory, main and stabilizing, was introduced. With the aim of implementing the health and aesthetic motives in the main (developing) stage of the macrocycle, two training pro-grams were developed – power and aerobic ones. Distribution of workloads, their duration, intensity and amount were regulated individually, depending on the hormonal background of the female body during the ovarian-menstrual cycle. The effectiveness of the individually-differentiated methods of the health-improving classes formation was confirmed by positive dynamics of the physical, functional, mental states, and overall fitness of 21-55-year-old women.
