Comparative analysis of motor activity levels of future police officers of different training courses

Abstract

A comparative analysis of the levels of motor activity of future police officers of different training courses was carried out. Modern scientific literature has been elaborated, which illuminates the current state of motor activity of young people and the methods of its determination. It was established that the appropriate level of physical activity of students of higher education is a key factor of a healthy lifestyle and means of recovery. It was determined that the needs of the human body in motor activity are always individual and depend on a number of physiological, socio-economic and cultural factors and are largely determined by hereditary and genetic characteristics. The Framingham method of determining daily motor activity is considered, which allows you to obtain complete information about the duration of a specific type of activity and rest, a combination of physical exertion of different intensities, the total duration of various types of activity and the amount of energy expenditure. Cadets of the National Academy of Internal Affairs of the first (2022 recruitment), second (2021 recruitment), and third courses (2020 recruitment) majoring in Law Enforcement (n=178) took part in the study. Using the Framingham method, the motor activity index and daily energy expenditure of future law enforcement officers were determined. An unreliable difference in the motor activity index of future police officers of different training courses was established (p<0.05). It was found that the motor activity index of the first-year cadets was 32.68±0.45 points, the second - 33.97±0.50, the third - 33.09±0.44. Daily energy consumption is 2537±33.9, 2633.2±37.1 and 2571±32.6 kcal, respectively. The need to increase the level of motor activity of future law enforcement officers by involving them in mass sports events and extracurricular physical exercises was determined. We see prospects for further research in conducting a comparative analysis of indicators of motor activity of future police officers in the conditions of distance and face-to-face training.
