A PERSONALIZED APPROACH TO LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION AND CORRECTION OF MOTOR ACTIVITY IN MEN AND WOMEN OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE

Abstract

Aim. To investigate the individual and typological anthropometric, bioimpedance, and motor activity characteristics in men and women of the first mature age. To develop a methodology for implementing lifestyle changes, correcting motor activity levels, and facilitating weight loss. Materials and methods. The study encompassed 285 men and 306 women aged 20–35 years, classified as belonging to the I health group based on health examination results. The following set of techniques was employed: anthropometric measurements, ultrasound assessment of fat distribution (LOGIQS8, General Electric Co., USA), bioimpedance analysis (Inbody 770, Korea), pedometry to evaluate physical activity levels, and data pro­cessing using statistical methods (Microsoft Office Excel, Statistica 26.0). Results. Based on anthropometric findings, two groups were identified: men and women with normal (group I) and overweight (group II) body mass. Daily calorie intake was calculated for each group, considering factors such as age, gender, weight, height, bioimpedance measurements, and motor activity levels. A physiological assessment of corrective measures was conducted after 6 months, during which there was an increase in motor activity levels and a decrease in BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, subcutaneous fat, and fat mass in both groups of men and women. Significant changes were primarily observed in individuals with overweight. Conclusion. The efficacy of the proposed lifestyle modification and body weight correction method, taking into account general locomotor activity, has been substantiated.
