摘要：This research aims to emphasize the improvement of the functional development (fitness) markers by using aerobic gymnastics means.This research tries to improve the female adolescents' fitness and quality of life through the use of aerobic gymnastics means,to motivate them to independently and long term practice physical exercises,both during physical education classes,and during their leisure time.The goal of this research is to increase the quality of life in female adolescents,as a result of the improvement in their physical fitness,through the practice of specific aerobic gymnastics physical exercises.As research methods we used: the bibliographical study,the testing method,the experiment method,the statistical-mathematical method,and the graphical representation method.Methods.The research comprised a number of 40 subjects (20 female adolescents forming the experimental group,and 20 the control group),aged between 18 and 25,and it was conducted at the "Vasile Alecsandri" University of Bacău.The subjects went through a fitness-type aerobic gymnastics program,three times per week.The program comprised harmonious physical development exercises,stretching,relaxation exercises,coordination drills,which envisaged the improvement of the body's functionality markers.The effectiveness of the applied methods was assessed through the Ruffier test,used to evaluate the adaptation to effort.The research data highlight the increase in the quality of life,as a response to the improvement of the subjects' fitness and adaptation to effort.Results.In regards to the functional assessment (the Ruffier test),the data recorded during the initial tests emphasized an insufficient adaptation to the effort,and a poor physical fitness in both groups.The progress of the experimental group,compared to the control group's indicates the effectiveness of the aerobic gymnastics programs,through the values of the Ruffier index that increased from an insufficient adaptation (in the initial assessment) to a medium adaptation to effort (in the final assessment).For the functional capacity,the experimental group recorded significantly better result than the control group,reaching optimal values.Conclusions.After analyzing the data,one can see that the final results are improved,which proves the effectiveness of the means and methods used here to improve the functional effort capacity.Using individualized programs and combining different forms of aerobic gymnastics practice,by their contents,help maintain health,improve and correct the morphological line,giving the body a harmonious line and correct posture,which leads to a better quality of life.
