The effect of various training regimens on performance, body mass index, strength, flexibility and endurance in middle-aged women: A randomized controlled trial

In this study, the influence of identical training sessions conducted at different times of the day on the indicators of physical performance, body mass index, strength, flexibility and endurance of women aged 45-50 years was studied. It was assumed that conducting training sessions in the morning from 9 to 10 o’clock and in the evening from 18 to 19 o’clock may have a different effect on health indicators in middle-aged women engaged in fitness. The purpose of the study is to improve the methods of recreational physical exercises with middle-aged women. Research objectives: analysis of current research in the field of methods of conducting recreational physical exercises with middle-aged women; development of a fitness program for women 45-50 years old; assessment of the impact of fitness classes at different times of the day on performance indicators, body mass index, strength, flexibility and endurance in women 45-50 years old. Conclusions: in the training process of middle-aged women, it is necessary to take into account the time of classes and make a decision on the dosage of special exercises or change the schedule of training sessions; training sessions of a complex nature for women 45-50 years old, performed in the morning (from 8 to 9 o’clock), can be effective to increase physical performance and reduce body weight; training sessions performed in the evening (from 18 to 19 hours) can be effective for developing strength and reducing body weight
