This article discusses the adaptation of the body of mature women of the second period from 36 to 55 years under the influence of physical activity, namely the dance fitness program zumba. The problem of the study is that with all the diversity of the fitness industry, there is no personalization of classes for mature women. The authors conducted an experiment suggesting that regular dance fitness classes increase the adaptive potential of women and stabilize the main functional indicators of the body. The paper reveals the features of this age group and the ways to adequately influence them. As a result of the experiment, the research hypothesis was confirmed, the adaptive potential increased, which allows the author to recommend the proposed type of physical activity for use in various physical education institutions. In addition, there was a need to reveal the methodology of classes in more detail in subsequent works.

Definition Of

Wellness fitness uses a large arsenal tools of various sports and physical activity. The development of the fitness industry contributes to the expansion and requires classification and definition of methodological features that determine the use of appropriate means. Health-improving fitness classes require students to have knowledge of the fundamentals of the methodology for introducing the selected types of physical activity. This article summarizes the information about the content of selective focus health related aerobics using practical material for the development of basic physical qualities and motor skills of student youth. The purpose of the study is to analyze the content of health aerobics classes and the introduction of modern fitness programs and technologies related to the development of abilities to solve motor and sports problems in physical education of student youth. The study was performed at the theoretical and analytical level. In the process of research we used the following methods: analysis of literature sources, methods of theoretical interpretation (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, generalization). Conclusions. In turn, regular aerobics and rhythmic gymnastics in combination with other types of wellness fitness have a health-improving and training effect on the body. The variety of fitness programs does not mean the arbitrariness of their construction - the used of different types of physical activity must comply with the basic principles of physical education. Experts in the experiment to determine the effectiveness of aerobics concluded that as a result of classes students have improved metabolism, normalized cardiovascular and respiratory systems, increased immunity to various diseases and help lift the mood.

Objective: The objective of this study was twofold. First, analyze physical activity (PA) levels during physical education (PE) with different durations (45 and 90 minutes) according to student’s obesity status. Secondly, we examine the relative contribution of 45 and 90 minutes PE (45PE and 90PE) for the compliance of the daily PA recommendations according to the body mass index (BMI). Methods: Four public schools were analyzed. The sample comprised 472 youngsters (266 girls) aged between 10 and 18 years old. PA was assessed using an Actigraph accelerometer. The participants were categorized as non-overweight (NOW) and overweight/obese (OW) according to the sex-adjusted BMI. Results: The proportion of Moderate and Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA) was lower than the 50% recommended by guidelines regardless the PE duration. Our data showed that only 26% of NOW and 13% of OW in the 45PE achieved the recommended levels while 17% of NOW and 11% of OW achieved the recommendation in 90PE. Overall, the 90PE had a higher absolute contribution for daily MVPA recommendations compliance than 45PE. Conclusion: During PE classes youngsters spent a reduced amount of time in MVPA, independently of their weight status.Resumen. Objetivo: Este estudio tiene un doble objetivo.

En segundo lugar, se analiza la contribución relativa de 45 y 90 minutos de la educación física para el cumplimiento de las recomendaciones diarias de actividad física según el índice de masa grasa. Métodos: cuatro escuelas públicas fueran analizadas. La muestra fue de 472 jóvenes (266 chicas) con edades entre los 10 y 18 años. La actividad física fue medida utilizando un acelerómetro Actigraph. Los participantes fueran clasificados como sin sobrepeso y con sobrepeso/obesidad de acuerdo con el índice de masa grasa ajustado al género. Resultados: La proporción de la actividad física moderada y vigorosa fue inferior al 50% recomendado por las recomendaciones independiente de la duración de la clase de educación física. Nuestros datos muestran que solo unos 26% de los niños sin sobrepeso y unos 13% de niñoss con sobrepeso/obesidad llegaron al los niveles recomendados en las clases de 45 min, mientras el 17% de los jóvenes sin sobrepeso y el 11% con sobrepeso/obesidad han logrado las recomendaciones en las clases de 90 min. En general, las clases de 90 min tienen una mayor contribución para cumplimiento de las recomendaciones diarias de actividad física moderada a vigorosa do que las clases de 45 min. Conclusión: Durante las clases de educación física los jóvenes tuvieran una cantidad reducida de tiempo en actividad física moderada a vigorosa, independiente de su estado de peso.

ResumenLas experiencias que tienen jóvenes deportistas a lo largo de su trayectoria deportiva y educativa van dando sentido y significado al modo en cómo éstos, como futuros profesionales del campo de las ciencias de la actividad física y el deporte, van construyendo diferentes concepciones de la motricidad humana. Desde el enfoque de la investigación biográfica narrativa profundizamos en el relato de Glissade, alumna en formación inicial que ha desarrollado su trayectoria deportiva en el mundo de la Gimnasia Rítmica. El objetivo de este trabajo es indagar en algunas de las representaciones del modelo corporal y los aspectos emocionales-relacionales que constituyen la identidad deportiva de esta mujer y cómo ello está presente en su formación inicial. El relato de Glissade nos acerca a dos cuestiones: las tensiones entre su cuerpo de mujer y las exigencias del deporte que practica, ambos sujetos a cánones tradicionales sobre lo bello/estético y los aprendizajes emocionales que están presentes en su práctica deportiva. Este trabajo evidencia la importancia de visibilizar y conocer la experiencia de las personas desde su propia voz, ya que ello permite reflexionar sobre creencias, pensamientos y modelos que persisten en los procesos de formación inicial de futuros profesionales de la educación física y el deporte.AbstractThe experiences that young sportsmen and women have throughout their sporting and educational careers are giving meaning and significance to the way in how they, as future professionals in the field of physical activity and sports sciences, are building different conceptions of human motricity. From the focus of biographical narrative research, we delved into the story of Glissade, a student in initial training who has developed her sports career in the world of Rhythmic Gymnastics. The aim of this work is to investigate the representations of the body model and the emotional-relational aspects that constitute the sports identity of this woman and how this is present in her initial training. Glissade´s story brings us closer to two questions: the tensions between her body as a woman and the demands of a sport she plays, both are subject to traditional canons of beauty/aesthetics and the emotional learnings that are present in their sports practice. This work shows the importance of making visible and knowing the experience of people from their own voice, since this allows reflection on beliefs, thoughts and models that persist in the processes of initial training of future professionals in physical education and sport.

Visual culture affects the way people understand the world and themselves, contributing to the creation of certain roles and stereotypes, some of which are related to body image. This study focused on interrogating future physical education teachers’ beliefs about the body and physical activity to understand the construction of bodily subjectivities and their perceptions of how these are influenced by visual (physical) culture. Data were collected through the use of visual methods consisting of photo-elicitation and individual interviews with 23 students from a Primary Education Degree with a specialization in physical education at a Spanish university. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis. The results of the study show that these future physical education teachers are aware of both the great influence of gender stereotypes and the values of consumerism in the field of physical activity stemming largely from the media, which inevitably will shape their future professional practice. However, the results also highlight how these future physical education teachers consider and position the subject of physical education as an important space where they could help students problematize and challenge these beliefs. We suggest that a focus on visual (physical) literacy is needed for future physical education teachers (and their students) to understand the world from a socially critical perspective and transform it in the interest of equity and social justice.

Educational manual is devoted to the organization of physical education with students of part-time Department. The manual provides brief information on human anatomy, physiology, theory and methodology of physical education, provides material for independent practical work aimed at mastering the methods and means of physical culture and sports activities and self-control, for the acquisition of personal experience in the use of physical culture and sports, the formation of professional and life skills. Physical culture is the key to active professional activity. It is the result of education and training in relation to a person's health, physical abilities and abilities, in the way of life and the construction of the necessary socio-cultural comfortable environment. Within the framework of classical University education, physical culture and sports are activities aimed at achieving personal maturity. The Olympic Charter says: "Olympism is a philosophy of life, exalting and combining in a harmonious whole dignity of the body, will and mind." The student after mastering the program of this discipline in accordance with the GEF VPO should: know: the basics of physical culture and a healthy lifestyle; be able to: apply methods and means of knowledge, learning and self-control to maintain their health, moral and physical self-improvement; methodically it is correct to use means and methods of physical education, health promotion for achievement of the due level of physical readiness providing full-fledged social and professional activity. Own: a system of practical skills that ensure the preservation and strengthening of health, development and improvement of psychophysical abilities and qualities (with the implementation of the established standards for General physical and sports and technical training); personal experience in the use of physical and sports activities to improve their functional and motor capabilities, to achieve personal life and professional goals. It is important to distinguish between sports activities that are built around officially organized competitive interactions of individuals and physical activity, which is based on the deliberate use of physical exercise (physical activity) to achieve certain goals (health promotion, recreation, rehabilitation, etc.) and which is also often organized in the form of competitions. Mastering this subject should change and make people's lives better.

The article analyzes the mechanisms of adaptation of the organism of students to physical activity. It has been determined that the process of adaptation of the organism to the action of physical activity has a phase character. Revealed dependence on the morphological and functional state of various systems of the body. The essence of the concept of physical performance and its importance in adapting the body to physical activity are revealed. In the modern world, the state of health of the population is considered as an indicator of the level of development of civilized society. Physical education and sports occupy a special place in human life and formation, as they are the main means of organizing physical activity, which from birth determines the basis of its socio-biological existence and development. This is due to the fact that without movement, both socio-biological development and human life in society are impossible. According to the International Charter of Physical Education and Sport, physical culture and sport are important components of continuing education for citizens, especially the younger generation. Thus physical education is considered as an educational component, a basic component of system and process of education, and sports as branch of development and realization of physical abilities and possibilities of a human body. Physical education and sports are the most accessible and natural area of human life. Based on the use of natural, biologically necessary, non-drug, widely available means and methods of physical education.

The analysis of data on alimentary-dependent diseases among persons of the working age in the Republic of Tatarstan testifies to their steady growth. The proportion of deaths from diseases in the etiology of which nutrition plays a significant role over the period 2005-2015 was 77.9%. We have identified the main trend of eating behavior in each age group: high protein intake (in 75% of men and 81% of women) and fat (in 59% of women and 67% of men). A normal range of the body mass index (20.0-24.9), was noted in 44.3% of women and 44.7% of men. About 38% of the surveyed men and more than 2/3 of women (63.2%) do not have additional physical activity. As a result of the irrational eating behavior and low physical activity, the number of overweight men increased by 17.5% during the studied period. Only 20% of residents of the Republic of Tatarstan can be considered rational.

Este estudio analiza la imagen del cuerpo representado en las portadas de los libros de texto de Educación Física vinculado a un tipo de actividad física, para comprobar si se ajustan a las directrices que marca la legislación actual con respecto a los materiales curriculares. El estudio es de tipo empírico, descriptivo y comparativo entre los libros de texto analizados. La muestra estuvo constituida por 12 portadas de dos editoriales, publicadas bajo la Ley Orgánica 8/2013 para la Mejora de la Calidad Educativa (LOMCE). La técnica de investigación fue el análisis de contenido a través de la herramienta SAIMEF (Sistema de Análisis de Imágenes en Educación Física). Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de los datos donde se utilizaron tablas de contingencia y se aplicó la prueba Chi-cuadrado de Pearson (x2), para contrastar la significatividad de la variable sexo y la variable deporte. Los resultados mostraron portadas fotográficas y en color, siendo los protagonistas de la actividad física los hombres, pertenecientes a la etapa de la niñez, de raza blanca, somatotipo ectomorfo y realizando deporte, en ausencia de discapacidad; vinculando el deporte individual con las mujeres y el colectivo y de adversario con los hombres. Estos resultados están muy alejados de las orientaciones que marca la legislación española con respecto a los materiales curriculares, y concretamente en los libros de texto de Educación Física. No cabe duda de que es necesaria una reflexión sobre los materiales curriculares, pues los contenidos ofrecidos a través de las imágenes, son fuente de asentamiento de valores y potenciación de actitudes, y se ha de trasmitir una sociedad sin discriminación para seguir avanzando hacia la igualdad.Abstract. This study analyzes the image of the body represented on the covers of textbooks of Physical Education linked to a type of physical activity, to check if they conform to the guidelines set by the current legislation regarding curricular materials. The study is empirical, descriptive and comparative among the textbooks analyzed. The sample consisted of 12 covers of two editorials, published under the Organic Law 8/2013 for the Improvement of Educational Quality (LOMCE). The research technique was content analysis through the SAIMEF (System of Analysis of Images in Physical Education) tool. We performed a descriptive analysis of the data where contingency tables were used and the Chi-square Pearson test (x2), was applied, to contrast the significance of the variable sex and the variable sport. The results showed covers with photograph and color image format, being the protagonists of the physical activity the men, pertaining to the childhood, of white race, ectomorphic somatotype and realizing sport, in absence of disability; linking individual sport with women and the collective and adversary with men. These results are very far from the guidelines set by Spanish legislation regarding curricular materials, and specifically in physical education textbooks. There is no doubt that a reflection on the curricular materials is necessary, since the contents offered through the images are a source of values settlement and empowerment of attitudes, and a society without discrimination must be transmitted to continue advancing towards equality.

We consider the aspects of adaptation to the process of training and physical education of first year cadets. Problems and aspects of physiological adaptation are designated and its connection with activity of cardiovascular system of an organism of first year cadets is shown. The main factor of the considered process of physiological adaptation is shown. The relevance of the study of adaptive mechanisms of the body of first year cadets during the beginning of their training in the military university is proved. The necessity of increasing the volume of physical activity for more successful adaptation of first year cadets to training in a military university is proved. Reflects the results of exposure to prolonged and regular physical activity, compatible with the normal functioning of the organism in which the person developing his adaptive functional reorganization. Studies of functional possibilities of cardiovascular system of first year cadets to specify Robinson's index (for the purpose of quantitative characteristics of the systolic heart function). The estimation of these parameters is necessary to complete the definition of adaptation possibilities of organism of first year cadets. The results of the study of heart rate, systolic blood pressure at rest are also reflected. All studies are aimed at determining the effectiveness of the implementation of the developed system of physical education of first year cadets, aimed at improving the adaptive capacity of their body, to improve the educational process in the military university.

The Relationship

The expansion of health as a concept, repeated expressions of nationwide concerns about young people’s health, and the accompanying information explosion about health and fitness have worked together to support versions of physical education that explicitly address health issues. The conflation of health with physical education, however, is not without problems. This paper explores some consequences of the relationship between health, fitness, and physical activity through an examination of students’ responses to questions relating to health and fitness in the New Zealand National Education Monitoring Project. The children responding to the NEMP tasks were very familiar with the relationship between physical activity, fitness, and health. While this seems to point to the efficacy of physical and health education programs, the ways in which these children seem to have accepted this relationship with a great deal of certainty does not necessarily contribute to their health and well-being but rather suggests an acceptance of discourses that are associated with guilt, the self-monitoring of the body, and which seem to deny the pleasure that can be associated with physical activity.
