Problem fizičkog vaspitanja u Vojsci Srbije - neophodne promene

Abstract

The problem of a modern lifestyle is that it contributes to a reduction in movement, a change in diet and morphological profile, a decrease in physical fitness, as well as the occurrence of chronic non-communicable diseases. In the field of military education and training, in addition to the same consequences that occur in civilian structures, an additional problem is that physical education is based only on a motor component. The paper emphasizes the necessity of changes in physical education. The assumption is that the problem of hypokinesia and inadequate nutrition in society, including the armed forces as its inseparable part, is solved by introducing a morphological segment as an obligatory element in physical education, in addition to a motor component. The method of situation analysis has been implemented within relevant facts from scientific papers. The results indicate that basing physical education only on a motor component is insufficient to solve functional and certain health problems. It has been concluded that it is necessary to supplement the programme of physical education and training with a morphological and educational segment, which would contribute to the improvement of physical fitness, morphological status and the expansion of awareness of physical education as a permanent value.
