The influence of dance and power fitness loads on the body morphometric parameters and peculiarities of adaptive-compensatory reactions of organism of young women

Abstract

Purpose: study is to research the degree of influence of training sessions in dance and power fitness on the dynamics of body morphometric parameters of women aged 18-21 and to determine the features of adaptivecompensatory organism reactions to the physical stimulus, which will allow to assess the degree of health effect in conditions of muscle activity. Material: The paper presents the results of studying the influence of dance and power fitness 3-month trainings on the dynamics of morphometric and biochemical indices in women aged 18-21. Results: to solve the objectives of the study, we formed two research groups: the control group participants used the elements of dance fitness during the training while the main group participants used the power fitness models during their trainings. In the course of the study, it was found out that the morphometric indices (cumulative dimensional parameters of the body composition) showed the most noticeable positive dynamics during 3-month trainings in the control group. The results of biochemical blood tests of both group participants were fixed in the beginning and after 3 months of research in conditions of rest and after training sessions. These results testified significant expenditures of energy during dance fitness training caused most of all by inadequate functional body capabilities in the process of physical activity. The cortisol concentration in blood serum of the control group women showed a decrease of 10.3% in response to physical activity even after a long period of occupation. This indicates the processes of gluconeogenesis caused by energy deficiency and manifests body compensatory reactions to a stressful stimulus. Conclusions: the obtained results testified that dance fitness classes influenced more effectively on the reduction of women’s circumferential body size, decreased body fat mass and increased the level of fitness, which is one of the priority tasks for this type of motor activity. This circumstance is also confirmed by the results reflecting the increase in phosphorus concentration in the blood of control group participants after loading by almost 4.8% compared with the state of rest.
