Information indicates the urgency of addressing the problem of ensuring the work of girls - future officers in the exercise of physical self-development during their studies in higher military education. Material and methods of research. The objectives were achieved by using a set of such research methods: analysis, systematization - for processing sources of information, for obtaining the necessary empirical data - pedagogical testing and experiment, namely its moulding stage, as well as adequate methods of mathematical statistics. All the tests used were consistent with the recommendations not only of domestic researchers, but also of leading foreign countries. The study was attended by 20,6 ± 0,5-year-old girls - future officers, who began their training in the fourth year of the Military Academy. A total of 132 girls were recruited, 24 of them in the pilot group and the remaining 108 in the control group. Results. The use of the pilot project has led to significant improvements for all, while the use of traditional organizations and the content of physical education - only selected indicators of the overall physical fitness of girls - would-be officers. In addition, the former achieved significantly higher values in all the indicators studied than the latter group. The data obtained show that the experimental development in the development task is highly effective and efficient, which makes it possible to recommend it for use in the physical education of girls - future officers in the military academy.
