Abstract
The aim of the research was to determine the impact of physical exercise on: 1. abi-lities measured by FMS tests, 2. the impact of physical status on the mental health of middle-aged people and 3. body composition. The research used a quasiexperimental design (test-retest). 20 respondents (11 men and 9 women) were included in this paper. The average age of the respondents is 52.3 years, average body height 169.4 cm, average body weight 78.62 kg. All respondents live in the territory of the United Arab Emirates, where they are physically minimally active or completely inactive. Body impedance (InBody120), FMS device and survey questionnaire were used in the research. Descriptive statistics and T-test were used for data processing. The results showed that there is a statistically significant difference in the variables that were measured at the beginning and after the application of the defined exercise program (test-retest), in the variable point score-FMS test (p = 0.000) and in the satisfaction questionnaire (p < 0.05). However, the exercise program had no effect on body com-position because it focused on trunk mobility and stabilization exercises.
