Abstract: The article is focused on the theoretical justification, development and evaluation of the effectiveness of the program of health-enhancing recreational physical activity for 21-35-year-old women with office syndrome. The following methods were used: analysis and synthesis of literary sources and documentary materials; sociological methods (questionnaires); O.A. Pirogova’s method for determining the level of physical condition; method for assessing the level of physical activity (the Framingham physical activity index); psychodiagnostic methods; and mathematical statistics. The study involved 20 women aged 21-35 years working in office settings. Results. The presence of office syndrome in women aged 21-35 years was observed on the basis of the following key aspects: prolonged sitting (90% of the participants work at a computer, which indicates low overall physical activity during the working day, 70% of the respondents spend more than 8 hours a day in a sedentary position, which is significantly higher than the recommended norms), low level of general physical activity (40% of the women rated their physical activity as low or very low, which indicates a lack of physical activity, only 15% of the respondents have a high level of physical activity that meets the WHO minimum recommendations for health). The health fitness program was developed to increase the level of PA and improve the physical condition and mental-emotional status of women, which includes a set of exercises adapted to the specifics of their work activities and includes physical activities with an emphasis on correcting the effects of hypokinesia (aerobic, strength, flexibility, and relaxation exercise). The evaluation of the effectiveness of the developed program confirmed a positive impact on the physical condition, reduction of mental-emotional stress, and development of positive motivation for a healthy lifestyle.
