Combined application of aquafitness and the endogenous-hypoxic breathing technique for the improvement of physical condition of 30-49-year-old women

Abstract

The article deals with the question of perfection of physical condition of 30-49 years-old women by means of combined application of aquafitness and the endogenous-hypoxic breathing technique. During a long-term study it was established that in women in the period from 30 to 49 years, the ratio of the components that make up the body weight varies. In 37-49 year-old women, the fat content is 12.60% (p <0.05) higher than the content of this component in women aged 30-36 years. At the same time, the content of the muscle component in women of the older age group is lower by 7.78% (p <0.05) than in younger women. In 37- 49 year-old women body weight and body mass index are higher by 13.18% and 10.98% (p <0.05) respectively, than in 30-36 years-old women. The application of the endogenous-hypoxic breathing technique during aquafitness training increases the effectiveness of their positive impact on aerobic productivity of the body, the function of respiratory and cardiovascular systems, and the ability of the body to withstand hypoxia in relative muscular resting state, that is confirmed by a reliable difference between the values of control and main groups.
