The effectiveness of the comprehensive training methodology based on strength training with middle-aged men in a fitness center setting
To this day, the search for ways to enhance the work efficiency and psycho-emotional state of working men remains pressing and relevant. The purpose of the study is to identify the effectiveness of a comprehensive training methodology based on strength training with mature men in the context of a fitness center. Research methods and organization. The following diagnostic tools were used in the work: analysis and systematization of literary primary sources on the issue; survey/questionnaire using the C.D. Spielberger and Y.L. Khanin test; functional studies; pedagogical experiment; processing and analysis of data. The developed methodology has been tested in wellness activities at a fitness center while working with men aged 30 to 40. Research results and conclusions. The research materials indicate the normalization of heart rate at rest and heart rate recovery after exercise testing. This fact demonstrates the positive impact of the methodology on the adaptation of the cardiovascular system of men to varied physical loads. As a result, the average group indicators of the Rufier index, the Kverga index, and the Harvard step test index have significantly improved. The level of physical performance in men has increased. By the end of the study, men with low and high levels of situational anxiety transitioned to the moderate anxiety group. Additionally, all clients showed improvement in personal anxiety levels. The obtained materials allow for a conclusion regarding the effectiveness and feasibility of the experimental methodology when working with men in fitness center conditions.
