Abstract
This experimental study aimed to analyze the physical fitness of people who practice Eastern healing systems and martial arts, in comparison to people who do not practice sport. The study population consisted of all 674 members of the Cultural Institute in Poltava, Ukraine. From this population, participants (n=36) were randomly selected and divided into two groups. The first group (experimental) included people who regularly practiced martial arts or Eastern healing systems. The second group (control) included people who did not practice any physical activity or sports on a regular basis. Each group consisted of 18 people. A set of physical fitness tests was selected for individuals participating in Eastern healing systems and martial arts, with basic and additional tests for different age groups (from 13 years old). The results demonstrated the importance of control in the process of managing the physical fitness of individuals of different ages who systematically practice Eastern healing systems or martial arts. Compared to the control group, the experimental group showed statistically significant better results (p<0.05), confirming the effectiveness of regular practice of Eastern healing systems or martial arts. It is essential to promote the practice of Eastern healing systems and martial arts across all age groups and to organize workshops to train young instructors in these systems.
