PHYSICAL FITNESS OF THE FUTURE WOMEN OFFICERS OF NATIONAL POLICE UNITS IN THE PROCESS OF LEARNING

Abstract

The article examines the level of development of physical qualities and formation of motor skills and abilities of future female officers of the National Police units during their studies at a higher education institution of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with specific study conditions. Future female officers of the 1st-2nd courses of study (n=68) of the Lviv State University of Internal Affairs participated in the study. Two groups were formed: the first group included 1st-year university cadets (n=32), the second group included 2nd-year cadets (n=36), respectively. The study was conducted over the course of a year and was divided into 4 stages, during which control and verification classes were planned with the aim of studying the level of development of physical qualities and the formation of motor skills and abilities of future female officers of the National Police. Research methods: analysis of literary sources, pedagogical observation, pedagogical testing, methods of mathematical statistics. The scientific novelty of the obtained results lies in the practical verification of the effectiveness of the current system of physical training of future female officers of the National Police units in the process of training at a higher education institution of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with specific training conditions. According to the results of the study, the insufficient level of physical fitness of future female officers of the National Police units was revealed, which may not allow them to effectively engage in professional activities and, in the future, perform official tasks as assigned. In addition, negative dynamics in the development of physical qualities and the formation of motor skills and abilities of female cadets already in the 2nd year of study are noted. The most pronounced regression was found in the development of strength qualities (complex strength exercise) and endurance of future female officers (1000 m run).
