THE ROLE OF SOCIAL FACTORS IN THE VERIFICATIONA AND ASSESSMENT PROCESS OF PHYSICAL TRAINING IN ARMED FORCES OF ARMENIA

Abstract

A set of sociological surveys have been conducted in order to assess the social impact in the process of developing Physical Training Assessment System of the RA Armed Forces, servicemen engagement in and attitude towards physical training. For we consider it important to obtain reliable information, servicemen of different ages, genders, professions, categories serving in different climatic conditions, military units and locations were interviewed. A separate analysis was carried out for different categories (private soldiers, warrant officers, ordnance officers) of servicemen with different status (conscripts, contract soldiers). Over time, by re-equipping and reorganizing the armed forces, approaches to physical training are changing. Thus for introducing modern and more efficient assessment and inspection methods, it is necessary to analyze the requirements of active military personnel serving in combat duty zones and to determine their performance level of mobility tasks in a combat area. The social conditions of servicemen may also be taken into account during the development of assessment system.
