Introduction. The data of modern scientific research indicate a decrease in the indicators of physical qualities, deterioration of the functional state of the cardiovascular, nervous systems, musculoskeletal system of women older than 36 years [1, 2].
The purpose of the study is to identify the relationship of indicators of physical qualities with an increase in the age of women of the second period of adulthood.
Methodology and organization of the study. The study was conducted on the basis of the Smolensk State University of Sports. During the implementation of the ascertaining pedagogical experiment, the indicators of physical fitness of women aged 36-55 years (n=104) were determined.
The results of the study and their discussion. The results of the correlation analysis indicate the relationship between age and the studied indicators of the physical qualities of the women studied. A significantly significant relationship of the studied parameters in each age subgroup was revealed.
In particular, with increasing age, the closeness of the negative relationship steadily increases in indicators characterizing strength (r=-0.549, r=-0.595, r=-0.638, r=-0.782, p<0.01), general (r=-0.613, r=-0.646, r=-0.744, r=-0.795, p<0.01), special flexibility in the shoulder (grip: r=-0.524, r=-0.638, r=-0.675, r=-0.801, p<0.01; X1 index: -0.487* (p<0.05), r=-0.584**, r=-0.591**, r=-0.613**, p<0.01; Kossa index: r=-0.459* (p<0.05), r=-0.563**, r=-0.601**, r=-0.627**, p<0.01 ) and hip joints: splits from the right leg: r=-0.436 (p<0.05), r=-0.640, r=-0.728, r=-0.753, p<0.01); left leg splits: r=-0.422 (p<0.05), r=-0.579, r=-0.778, r=-0.801, p<0.01) in the age groups 36-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, respectively.
It should be noted that the tightness of the relationship in the indicators determining aerobic and strength endurance decreases with increasing age: in running 2 km (r=0.603, r=0.556 (p<0.01), r=0.423, r=0.387 (p<0.05), lifting the trunk from the supine position in 1 min (r=-0.653, r=-0.516, r=-0.507 (p<0.01), r=-0.453 (p<0.05 ) in the age groups 36-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54 years, respectively.
It should be noted that there is a pronounced age-related deterioration in the indicators of physical qualities of strength and flexibility, moderate - overall endurance.
Conclusion. Thus, a relationship has been established between an increase in the age of the women examined and a decrease in indicators of physical qualities, mainly strength and flexibility.
