Theoretical analysis of the organization of special physical training of future officers of military education institutions

Abstract

The key to high combat readiness and combat capability of the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the required level of professional knowledge, sufficient motivation, excellent physical development and high functional status of the basic body systems of servicemen [1].Radical changes in views on the country's national security, the protracted hybrid war in eastern Ukraine, and the reform of the higher education system in line with the Bologna Process are factors in the need to reform the training of officers in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Scholars believe that in order for the level of a future officer of a military educational institution to fully meet the requirements of a NATO-style professional army, it is necessary to significantly strengthen the professional component of the future officer's training and ensure its specialization [2].On the other hand, the experience of combat operations in the Joint Forces Operation (anti-terrorist operation) in eastern Ukraine has proved the need to develop and improve the military-applied physical skills of servicemen. Modern specialists in physical training of the Armed Forces of Ukraine insist on the need to focus on training servicemen to develop skills on the battlefield, overcoming obstacles in full gear and ballistic protection, throwing grenades, firing small arms from different positions, swimming and swimming. with weapons [3]. Authors of scientific works O. Lavrut, T. Lavrut, 2009; O. Olkhoviy, 2014; V. Klimovich, O. Olkhoviy, S. Romanchuk, 2016, argue that the success of the military-professional activity and the results of the professional training of the future officers lie in the old physical camp [4, 5]. Foreign experts I. Mikkola, S. Keinänen-Kiukaanniemi, J. Jokelainen, A. Peitso, P. Härkönen, M. Timonen, 2012; K. Friedl, J. Knapik, K. Häkkinen, N. Baumgartner, H. Groeller, N. Taylor, 2015 in their studies confirm that the physical development and functional state of the body’s systems is a guarantee of effective combat training of military service personnel [6, 7].
