The contemporary epistemological landscape in the field of anthropocentric sciences necessitates a radical revision of methodological approaches within the theoretical and methodological framework of physical education and ontokinesiology. This discourse is characterized by a pronounced vector toward interdisciplinary convergence, where the integrity of an individual's biomechanical and somatic status becomes the object of scientific reflection. Within this paradigm, the prolongation of the structural and functional homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system in women during the second period of mature age is transformed into a fundamental scientific imperative. This is necessitated by the need for systemic mitigation of the destructive manifestations of heterochronic involution, which clinically manifests through the degradation of kinesiological potential and the imbalance of postural architectonics.
The aim of the study is to experimentally verify the effectiveness of corrective and preventive measures for women aged 36–45 with various postural types, based on a comprehensive analysis of functional movement characteristics.
Methods. The study involved a comprehensive examination of 27 women in the second period of adulthood. The research design was grounded in the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and incorporated Functional Movement Screen (FMS), photogrammetric postural analysis, a pedagogical experiment, and methods of mathematical statistics.
Results. The current study focuses not on the description of the programmatic components of corrective intervention, but on the scientifically grounded generalization of the results of their practical approbation. This approach elucidates the mechanisms for optimizing motor potential, enhancing the functional quality of movement, and improving the adaptive-compensatory capacities of the musculoskeletal system. The positive dynamics of the functional movement screening indicate the effectiveness of the proposed set of corrective and preventive measures, implemented with consideration for individual morphofunctional characteristics. The findings confirm its capacity to optimize movement patterns, enhance intersegmental coordination, and improve control in positions critical for the spine and joints.
Conclusions. The aggregate of the obtained empirical data allows for the conceptualization of the proposed corrective and preventive measures, integrated into systematic health-oriented fitness sessions, as a scientifically substantiated, methodologically verified, and effective tool for correcting postural abnormalities and optimizing motor activity in women aged 36–45. This substantiates the expediency of their implementation into the practice of health-recreational programs for this demographic group.
