Abstract

One of the important branches of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the engineering troops, the units of which are always present in the organization and conduct of combat operations. The servicemen of these units do a great job of fortifying combat positions, building barriers and obstacles, masking and covering military positions with mine explosive devices, arranging water crossings, helping in organizing shelters for manpower and equipment. The theory and especially the practice of military engineers show the need to improve not only theoretical knowledge, skills and practical skills, but also to have a high level of development of general and special physical qualities. Among the many studies of physical fitness of cadets of different military specialties, there is a lack of studies of engineering cadets. The research carried out earlier concerned mainly the operator specialties of the engineering troops. Military mechanical engineers and command personnel have not been investigated at all. The purpose and objectives of the research are aimed at finding ways to improve the level of physical and psychophysiological readiness of cadets of the Higher Educational Institutions of Higher Education - future specialists of the engineering profile and determining the influence of the author's program of physical training on their professional readiness. The research methods used included theoretical methods (analysis and generalization of literary sources), pedagogical (observation, testing, experiment), methods of mathematical statistics for processing experimental data and assessing reliability. During the academic year, 60 cadets of the National Academy of Ground Forces (mechanical engineers and commander engineers) took part in the study, divided into experimental and control groups by the method of paired comparisons. The experimental group performed a specially developed physical training program with the inclusion of applied exercises. As a result of one-year training following the results of control tests, cadets of the experimental group have significantly better indicators of psychophysiological, physical (especially strength) and professional training than cadets of the control group at the level of p <0.05. Conclusions. It has been determined that for mechanical engineers and commanders for their professional activities, good strength training is important. Sense of temporal, power and spatial parameters in all subjects is approximately at the same level. EG cadets significantly improved the results of physical and psychophysiological fitness. It was found that the existing program of physical training at VVUZ does not sufficiently contribute to the high-quality special training of engineering cadets. The proposed content of exercises and the scheme of distribution of loads for a week and a month can be used to develop programs for special physical training for specific engineering specialties. Key words: military engineers, special physical training, temporary, power, spatial sense.
