ASSESSMENT OF MOTOR ACTIVITY AND THE STATE OF MUSCULAR FUNCTION IN ELDERLY PEOPLE IN THE PROCESS OF AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC TRAINING

The authors in this study for the first time analyzed the role of combined aerobic and anaerobic training in the prevention of hypomobility syndrome. The study is relevant due to the fact that currently there is a lack of evidence-based research in the development of preventive programs of motor training to prevent the development of geriatric syndromes, which are of significant biosocial importance. The aim of the research. The aim of the study was to analyze the motor activity and the state of muscular function in elderly people in the process of aerobic and anaerobic training. Materials and methods. The study included 218 elderly people, who were divided into three groups according to the proposed variant of physical activity. The duration of the follow-up was 6 months. To assess the parameters of movement, stability and balance in all patients, "The functional mobility assessment in elderly patients" Scale was used. To assess the severity of the syndrome of sarcopenia we applied the carpal dynamometry "Megеon 34090" in both hands. Results. It is shown that combined trainings on the basis of Nordic walking (aerobic exercise) and anaerobic power exercises lead to a significant increase in the motor activity of elderly people 1.4 times in six months from the beginning of the training. Besides, the possibility of using combined aerobic and anaerobic training in the prevention of sarcopenia syndrome was reliably proven, which is confirmed by a significant increase in strength during six months of training according to carpal dynamometry data in men from 25 to 36 kg, and in women from 23 to 33 kg. The conclusion. Thus, the use of advanced training programs plays a significant biosocial role. In particular, Nordic (Scandinavian) walking as an independent type of training, and in combination of training with dumbbells and exercise machines, it can increase motor activity (according to the results of the study 1.4 times) by improving the performance of gait. In addition, combined exercises contribute to the prevention of the syndrome of falls, which is achieved by improving the indicators of stability to a greater extent than with the isolated use of Nordic walking.
