PROFESSIONAL-APPLIED PHYSICAL TRAINING OF FUTURE OFFICERS IN SIMULATED COMBAT CONDITIONS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the development of applied physical qualities in the training of future officers in higher military educational institutions of Ukraine. It identifies key aspects of the pedagogical principles of professional-applied physical train- ing of future officers and indicates the importance of this preparation for successful military activities in combat operations. The analysis of the educational programs of higher military education institutions highlights the issue of forming profession- al-applied physical training, as well as the gap between the components of it, which does not provide real physical readiness for service and combat missions.The purpose of the article is to study the pedagogical principles of professional-applied physical training of future officers through the analysis of literary sources and experience of professional training in the military field, using methods of modeling the conditions of combat activity.The complex of skills and abilities necessary for effective action in combat situations has been examined emphasizing that a high level of physical fitness and resilience to psycho-emotional difficulties are crucial for successful activity in extreme conditions.A complex of factors in the physical training of military higher educational students is considered and contains four key components: educational, motivation-value, practical-activity and physical. It has been established that successful improve- ment requires constant change in conditions, variability of training equipment and a scientifically based dosage of loads.The results of expert assessments of the physical training of higher military education students are analyzed, revealing a number of standard shortcomings, such as the absence of combat activity simulation situations and failure to take into account the specifics of military service. The importance of modernizing the content of the physical education program with a focus on modeling combat conditions is highlighted. The principle of an organic combination of physical training with training in future military activities, especially in professional-applied physical training, is highlighted. Combat modeling is justified through components and conditions that take into account extreme situations and the specifics of military-professional activities.
