Journal Title: Zeszyty Naukowe Małopolskiej Wyższej Szkoły Ekonomicznej w Tarnowie - Year 2009, Vol 14, Issue 3
Abstract
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.
