It was found that as a result of the application of the developed shaping program in the women of the experimental group there was a decrease in the fat layer in endomorphs by 13.2%, and in the control group of endomorphs by 7.2% (p < 0,05). Changes in the fat layer in the control and experimental groups are supplemented by changes in girth: chest, shoulder, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, the dynamics of which proves the effectiveness of our program compared to traditional.
