Topicality. The sphere of fitness services is one of the most dynamic and progressive for today. Here new areas of study are constantly emerging, fitness trends are being formed, fitness centers of various formats are opening up and online courses are being launched. What remains unchanged is that training of any kind will not bring the desired result if they are held uncontrollably and non-systematically. The most common mistake at the beginning of the training process is neglect by a trainer or an individual of initial testing of initial indices. The modern level of development of information technology makes it possible to carry out the primary control of the physical condition of the client. The modern level of development of information technology allows for the initial monitoring of the physical condition of the client. And based on the data obtained, develop recommendations regarding the program of classes in accordance with the set goals.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the information content of individual anthropometric indicators for use in the process of primary and current medical and pedagogical control in planning independent fitness classes aimed at correcting overweight of mature women.
Research methods: anthropometric methods, mathematical statistics methods, correlation analysis. Results of the study – the data obtained during the study demonstrate the possibility of remote implementation of the primary and current control of clients in the work of a fitness trainer. The wide range of formulas used for anthropometric calculations, in the opinion of the author, fully satisfies the necessary amount of data for planning independent preventive and health-improving activities among women of mature age in order to correct body weight using information technologies.
Conclusions. As a result of studies in which 55 women of mature age (aged from 23 to 55 years) took part, it was revealed that body mass index parametersof 34 women corresponded to a norm, however, among the subjects, there was an excess of indicators in terms of body mass to height ratio.It was revealed that normal body weight in women of the first mature age is more common than in women of the second mature age, which, according to the author, is due to the fact that after 35 years women experience a decrease in the level of motor activity, and this in turn causes an increase in body weight.
