Gymnastics Pilates is an affordable and full-fledged training method. It is often used in the system of rehabilitation after trauma. At the same time, information about the influence of Pilates gymnastics on the functional state of those engaged, especially female freshmen, is not enough in accessible literature. The aim of our investigation was to evaluate Pilates (strength-oriented) lessons effectiveness on higher educational establishments first-year student’ morphofunctional state. Some factors, characterizing first-year students (girls), studying at higher educational establishments and doing Pilates (strength-oriented), morphofunctional state are studied in the article. Anthropometric measurements, dynamics functional tests fulfillment results (Harvard step-test, timed expiratory capacity test, Ruffier-Dixon test) and physical training level, in comparison with group of girls, doing aerobics, are also investigated here. On the whole, monitoring results of the morphofunctional research and physical training level showed aerobics and Pilates lessons positive influence on the physical and functional state of the organism, because both kinds of gymnastics include aerobic loading, contributing to cardiorespiratory system function level increase (results of Ruffier-Dixon test, timed expiratory capacity test and respiratory excursion dynamuics). As it had been expected, such systematic lessons led to working capacity and physical training levels increase, defined by long jump length, push-ups and body flexion/extension dynamics. Participants of both groups (girls) became “slimmer”, the fact is proved by body mass and hip circumference decrease. But the said characteristics increase appeared to be more evident in the experimental group. Pilates (strength-oriented) and aerobics lessons influence physical training level positively and contribute to first-year students’ morphofunctional characteristics increase. The received results have shown greater effectiveness level of Pilates lessons, as compared to aerobics ones. So, Pilates lessons can be suggested as recommended choice among many other methods, allowing students’ health preservation and increase. When planning exercises by Pilates gymnastics, it is necessary to take into account the initial level of the morphofunctional state of those engaged. In order to optimize the training process, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive monitoring of the status of engaged students, which includes not only pedagogical tests, but also physiological studies.

Prezentowane opracowanie ma na celu określenie motywacji oraz sprawności fizycznej kobiet uczęszczających na zajęcia aerobowe. W tym celu zankietowano 60 kobiet w przedziale wiekowym 20-60 lat regularnie uczęszczających na zajęcia. Pytania zadane respondentkom dotyczyły głównie określenia postaw wobec aktywności ruchowej, świadomości prozdrowotnej podejmowanych działań oraz samooceny jej wyników, która przekłada się bezpośrednio na motywację. Warto podkreślić, że coraz więcej kobiet w średnim wieku podejmuje aktywność ruchową. Jest to tym bardziej cenne, że dla większości ankietowanych głównym powodem podejmowania zajęć ruchowych jest potrzeba ruchu, co wskazuje na rosnącą świadomość społeczną prozdrowotnych aspektów sprawności fizycznej. Zdecydowana większość (75%) badanych kobiet deklarowała zadowolenie z zajęć ruchowych. Wszystkie ankietowane polecałyby tę formę zajęć, wysoko oceniając własną sprawność fizyczną.

The following study aims to define the motivation and physical fitness of women attending aerobics classes. For this reason 60 women ranging from 20 to 60 years of age, regularly attending the classes were polled. The questions asked to the respondents concerned mainly defining their attitudes towards physical fitness, pro-health consciousness of the undertaken activities and self-assessment of their results, which translated directly into motivation. It is worth stressing the fact that increasingly more middle-aged women are undertaking physical activities. It is even more valuable due to the act that the main reason to undertake physical activities is the need of movement for the majority of the polled, which testifies to the growing social consciousness of the pro-health aspects of physical fitness. The definite majority (75%) of women being polled declared satisfaction with physical classes. All the polled women would recommend this form of activities, assessing their own physical fitness very well.
