Changes in the physical condition indicators of female higher education students using functional training with TRX loops

The aim of our study was to determine the effect of functional training with TRX loops on the physical condition of first-year female students.Materials and methods: Twenty female students aged 17–18 from Ivan Ohienko Kamianets-Podilskyi National University, who were classified as healthy, participated in the study. Prior to the experiment, the respondents did not engage in any type of functional training. During the study, the students did not engage in any other forms of physical activity. The following methods were used in the study: theoretical analysis and generalization of data from scientific and methodological literature; pedagogical methods; anthropometric research methods (body weight); physiological methods and functional tests (body mass index, Stange test, Genchi test, vital lung capacity, Ruffier test, hand dynamometry, strength index, determination of the percentage of fat and the percentage of skeletal muscle), methods of mathematical statistics. The statistical significance of the differences in indicators before and after the experiment was tested using Wilcoxon’s nonparametric criteria p
