Abstract: Introduction. Today, every person has a pressing question regarding ways and methods of maintaining good health, a high level of health and the required level of performance. To solve this issue, it is necessary, first of all, to focus on the problem of finding innovative means of physical education, the use of which will contribute to increasing the level of physical condition of a person. The purpose of the study is to determine the dynamics of indicators of physical development, body goniometry and physical fitness of women 23-26 years old under the influence of the tools and methods of the author’s program. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literary sources; photography and posture analysis, pedagogical experiment, pedagogical testing, methods of mathematical statistics. The study involved 45 women aged 23-26. Results. It was found that in all three groups there was a statistically significant improvement in muscle strength and endurance, an improvement in goniometric characteristics of the body, in particular, a decrease in the angle formed by the vertical and the line connecting the spinous processes of the vertebrae СVII and LV. In addition, the percentage of women who were at risk of developing diseases associated with excess body weight decreased, and the percentage of those whose body structure as a whole became harmonious increased. Each body type had its own characteristics in response to the program, which corresponded to the individual-typological approach underlying it. For women with an asthenic type, the effectiveness of the program is determined by an increase in body weight, an increase in its girth dimensions, a decrease in deviations in the angle of inclination of the body and an increase in the level of physical fitness at the level of muscle strength and endurance. The achievements of women with a picnic body type, which indicated the effectiveness of the proposed program, were, on the contrary, a decrease in body weight, a decrease in all its girth dimensions, except for the pelvic girth, a decrease in deviations from the norm in the angle of inclination of the torso, an improvement in flexibility and endurance. For the category of women with a normosthenic body type, the effectiveness of the program was demonstrated, first of all, by the improvement of all goniometric indicators and an increase in the level of physical fitness. The program contributed to the growth of strength, endurance and flexibility, as well as the harmonization of their physical form, namely, a decrease in body weight, circumferential dimensions of the waist, pelvis and hip. Conclusions. The author's program has a positive effect on physical development, body goniometry and physical fitness of women aged 23-26.
