Objective of the study is to analyse the dynamics of anthropometric parameters in women aged 30–40 who participate in functional training as part of a physical education and health programme based on a developed methodology.
Methods and structure of the study. The following methods were used in the study: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, anthropometric measurements, bioimpedance analysis of body composition, and methods of mathematical statistics. The experiment was conducted between January and June 2024 at the ‘Dubrovka Fitness’ fitness club (Moscow), involving 30 women aged 30–40 who held an annual membership and regularly attended classes.
Results and conclusions. The results obtained demonstrate the effectiveness of physical fitness and health classes based on the developed methodology, which proved to be more effective than the traditional classes offered at the fitness club, which allows us to recommend the use of the physical fitness and health training methodology involving functional training in practice when working with women aged 30–40 in fitness clubs.

Keywords: anthropometric indicators, women, physical exercise and health-promoting activities, functional training, health-promoting physical education.
