Motivation to engage in physical training of higher education graduates of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine during extracurricular work under martial law

Abstract

On the basis of the conducted research, it was established that the conditions of martial law changed the priorities in the training of specialists, made corrections in the educational process of students of higher education, and actualized the issue of increasing the level of physical fitness of future law enforcement officers.
 The motivational factors that direct higher education graduates of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine to engage in physical training during extracurricular work under martial law are highlighted. It was determined that the motivation to engage in physical exercises is a special state of the individual, aimed at achieving the optimal level of physical fitness and work capacity. Based on the results of the survey, it was established that the vast majority of future law enforcement officers assess their own level of physical fitness as adequate; 73.4% of respondents have a positive attitude to independent physical exercises during extracurricular work under martial law. It was established that the incentives that motivate higher education students to engage in physical exercises on their own are: increasing the level of physical readiness for future work (29.1%); strengthening health, improving appearance (25.9%); self-realization and achieving high results in the chosen sport, performance of sports classes (22.3%).
 The reasons that prevent the proper level of organization of independent work of higher education seekers in the conditions of martial law are considered. The most important reasons are: lack of free time for classes (32.7%); lack of modern inventory and proper educational material base (15.5%); the probability of announcing the signal "Air alarm" during the stay in the sports hall and the need to move to shelter (6.8%).
 Prospects for further research consist in determining directions for increasing the motivation of students of higher education to independently engage in physical training under martial law.
