Objectives: The study took place between the years 2016-2017 and included only female student prospects and with the means of the data we gathered and analysed, we set off to demonstrate the efficiency of the applied programmes, considering the level of effort in certain moments of the day or week, along with the preferences for certain subjects which undoubtedly enhanced the aesthetic evolution of the female body.
Methods: We applied a closed, social Market Research quiz, adapted from „The Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research” (1999) and applied to a number of 120 female students from first and second year.

Results. Quantitative analysis highlighted the following: 52.5% of the female students believe they have problems regarding their physical condition, 63% of them are not pleased with their appearance.
Qualitative analysis showed the following: 97% of female students are aged between 18 and 21 and 79% live in an urban environment, 21% took a mild part in physical activity in their last year of highschool, 4% were excluded on medical reasons.
