Objective of the study was to test benefits of a rhythmic music facilitated training model for the 1-2-year female health aerobics groups trained on an elective basis under the academic physical education and sports curriculum.
Methods and structure of the study. We sampled for the rhythmic music facilitated training model testing experiment the 1-2-year female students (n=50) from Ulyanovsk State Pedagogical University trained in the elective health aerobics groups under the academic physical education and sports curriculum and split them up into Experimental and Reference Groups. Both of the groups were tested equally fit by pre-experimental tests and trained as required by the physical education and sports curriculum of the Sports Disciplines Department of Ulyanovsk State Pedagogical University. The Experimental group trainings were complemented by the new rhythmic music facilitated training model.
Results and conclusions. Post-experimental tests (after the 6-month model piloting experiment) found the both groups making progress in the rhythmic music facilitated training tests, although the Experimental group progress was significantly higher in every test (p <0.05). Thus the progresses in the leg swings test were rated at 14.9% and 1.83%; in the squats test at 15.0% and 5.2%; and the in the arms swing test at 27.5% and 10.1% in the Experimental and Reference groups, respectively. Therefore, the new rhythmic music facilitated training model was proved efficient and may be recommended for application in the academic physical education and sports service on the whole and musical illustration applying health aerobics trainings in particular.

Keywords: health aerobics, rhythmic music facilitated training, academic experiment, musical tempo, musical illustration.
