Peculiarities of Motivational-Value Orientation of a Mature Age Woman to Health Exercises

Abstract

The level of motivation of a woman aged 25-55 for physical culture and health-improving activities has been established. As a result of the survey, the ratio of six main groups of motives that encourage women of different ages, engaged in sedentary work, to engage in physical culture was determined.

In order of their importance, these are aesthetic, health, entertainment, social, personal, and educational motives.

It was revealed that the motivational sphere of a woman depends on the age of those involved and the focus of the classes. At the same time, with age, an increase in the value of health-improving motives is observed.
