Influence of step aerobics training programme on chosen dimensions of morphological status in males

The aim of the research was to establish the transfor- mational effects of step aerobics programme on selec- ted morphological parameters among 26 male sub- jects, participants of the programme. The programme consisted of 25 step aerobics training sessions and la- sted for nine weeks. The subject of analysis was chan- ges in four variables concerning the thickness of skin fold and four circumferences of corresponding parts of the body. Multivariate analysis of variance revealed a satisfying level of significance of differences in morp- hological dimensions, which can be represented by noteworthy changes in two selected variables (abdo- minal skin fold and thigh skin fold). We assume that changes in circumferences of selected body parts did not reach the satisfying level of significance because of minor muscle hypertrophy, which compensated the decrease caused by reduction of the subcutaneous fatty tissue.
