Sažetak
Research on effects of personalized group exercise on health-related fitness are scarce. We designed a study with aim to determine the effects of personalized group exercise programme on health-related fitness of apparently healthy people. The sample consisted of 50 adult women (age 20 – 65) assigned into the control (standard) and experimental (personalized) group. The main difference between programmes in control (CG) and experimental (EG) group was in the organization and execution of the conditioning part of the training session. CG participants undergo the same activities and intensity in the conditioning part of the training while participants in EG were divided into groups according to specific intensity and activities adequate to their baseline fitness level. Four components of health-related fitness were assessed at baseline and after the intervention. Morphological fitness was represented by body mass index (BMI) and flexibility of lower back and hamstring muscles (Sit-and-reach test), motor fitness was assessed through balance (One-leg stance test) and transfer skills (Sit-stand test), muscular fitness was evaluated based on upper body endurance (Push-ups) and muscular endurance of the lower body (Squat hold test), and cardio fitness was determined using VO2max (Queens College step test). Both programmes produced significant improvements in the most of assessed variables i.e., morphological, motor, muscular, and cardio fitness levels (p < 0.05). Nevertheless, changes were more favourable in the personalized group programme (EG) for Sit-and-reach, Balance test, Sit-stand test, Push-ups, Squat hold, and VO2max (p < 0.05). It seems reasonable to advise applying personalized training mode to group exercise which aims to improve morphological, motor, muscular, and cardio fitness.
