Analysis of Methods for Evaluating the Functional State and Physical Fitness of Men and Women in The Second Period of Adulthood

ABSTRACT

Methods for evaluating the functional state of the body and physical fitness of men and women in the second period of adulthood have been analyzed in the article. The timely diagnosis of these indicators allows to optimally distribute exercises and adjust them to each trainee. Indicators of the functional state of the body and physical fitness should be analyzed in combination, as it allows to obtain more accurate results. Materials. Analysis of methods for evaluating the physical and functional state of the body is presented in the article. Methods. The following research methods have been used in the article: analysis and systematization of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical experiment, testing, and statistical data processing. Results. The research has been conducted with the purpose of analyzing the existing methods for evaluating the physical and functional state of the body. The results of a comprehensive research of the indicators of the functional state and physical fitness are more accurate because the human factor is taken into account (the participants could not accurately meet the targets in the calculation). The results have led to a conclusion about the need to use a wide range of methods for diagnosing the functional state and physical fitness. Conclusion. Conditions for correct performance should be honored in functional tests and physical fitness tests, as this influences the reliability of the data. The results have led to a conclusion about the need to use a wide range of m
