Formation of cadets’ physical readiness for professional activitшуі in the process of special physical training

The article examines the influence of special physical training classes on the formation of physical readiness of cadets for future professional activities in the process of training at technical higher military educational institution. Cadets of the 1st-3rd years of study (n = 43) of the S. P. Koroliov Zhytomyr Military Institute took part in the study. Two groups were formed: experimental (EG, n=21), the cadets of which were engaged in the "CrossFit" classes, and control (CG, n = 22), the cadets of which were engaged according to the current system of physical training. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literature sources, pedagogical observation, pedagogical testing, methods of mathematical statistics. One of the means of physical training that can help solve the outlined problem is the means of special physical training "CrossFit".

HEALTH STATUS OF INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS WITH SPECIAL TRAINING CONDITIONS

The aim is to study the level and dynamics of instructor officers' somatic health during the course of employment at Ukrainian higher education institutions with special training conditions. Materials and methods: The study involved male instructor officers of the National Academy of Internal Affairs (Kyiv, Ukraine) of different age groups (n=103), who conduct training sessions with cadets - future police officers. The first age group (up to 25 years of age) comprised 8 instructors, the second one (26-30 years of age) - 11 instructors, the third one (31-35 years of age) - 14 instructors, the fourth one (36-40 years of age) - 16 instructors, the fifth one (41-45 years of age) - 19 instructors, the sixth one(46-50 years of age) - 17 instructors, and the seventh one (over 50 years of age) - 18 instructors. The study was conducted in 2017-2019. The level of instructor officers' health was examined according to the methodology of G. L. Apanasenko, which provides for the calculation of body mass, vital, strength, and Robinson indices, as well as the duration of recovery of heart rate after standard exercise. The research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literature sources, pedagogical testing and observation, methods of mathematical statistics. Results: Insufficient level of health was revealed among instructor officers of all age groups - the level of somatic health of the vast majority of instructional staff (over 75 %) is assessed as "low" and "below average", more than 95 % of instructors are below the "safe zone" according to the methodology of G. L. Apanasenko. Conclusions: The research shows that the current system of physical training of higher education institutions with special training conditions is ineffective and needs to be refined in order to strengthen the health of instructor officers, increase their efficiency and, in general, improve the effectiveness of training future police officers at higher education institutions.

Application of specialized exercises for the development of strength qualities of future air transport safety specialists

The article deals with the problems of finding the most rational method of developing the strength qualities of students of civil aviation universities, and in particular the direction of training “Air Navigation” (ATC), by optimal distribution of the time of power loads for the formation of professional training of future specialists of airfield services. In the structure of such training, a special place is occupied by power qualities, which are most important for specialists of airfield services, who ensure the safety of air transport. Strength training not only increases the body’s resistance to the effects of adverse environmental factors and strengthens the immune system, but also optimizes the functional state of the body. However, the issues of the development of strength abilities with the use of time indicators in the distribution of specialized loads are currently insufficiently studied and do not have a scientific basis in the general system of physical training of students of educational institutions of civil aviation. In the study performed on students, the search for optimal methods for the development of strength qualities was conducted by changing the time indicators in the distribution of specialized loads. Students performed strength and speed-strength exercises with high intensity and subjective power of effort, as well as cyclic exercises that require endurance when they are performed repeatedly. These exercises were considered by us as complex means of forming motor qualities. The studied main indicators of strength qualities allowed us to determine the main vector of building classes for future specialists in the field of training “Air Navigation” (ATC) and the means of controlling the functional activity of those involved. The experimentally based methodology for the development of power qualities is recommended for use in the educational process of educational institutions of civil aviation.

Physical development of cadets who were engaged in armwrestling during studying

Power sports have always been very popular among servicemen and, especially, cadets of higher military educational institutions. In the process of power sports, cadets develop all physical qualities, strengthen the body, improve physical development. The article examines the indicators of physical development of cadets who were engaged in armwrestling during studying. A comparative analysis of the results obtained with similar indicators of cadets who were engaged in the current system of physical training and additionally did not go in for sports was carried out. The study involved cadets of the Odessa Military Academy. Two groups were formed: cadets who trained according to the current system of physical training (group 1, n=286), and cadets who trained in the armwrestling section of the academy (group 2, n=32). The physical development of the cadets was assessed according to the following indicators: body length, body weight, circumferential dimensions of the chest and waist, wrist dynamometry, body mass index, Erisman’s index, power index. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literature sources, medical and biological methods, statistical analysis. It was established that armwrestling classes have a positive effect on the level and dynamics of physical development of cadets during studying at the academy. It was found that among cadets of group 2, most of the indicators were significantly better (p<0.05–0.001) than among cadets of group 1, which makes it possible to recommend this kind of sport as a means of improving the physical development of cadets. The most pronounced influence of armwrestling was on the power capabilities of cadets (hand dynamometry, power index), chest circumference and Erisman’s index.

THE DUALISM OF VIEWS ON THE SAFETY OF CROSSFIT AS A FITNESS SYSTEM IN THE CONTEXT OF A STUDENT'S PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT

Crossfit is today in the field of view of the theorists and practitioners of physical education because of the youth of this kind of training. The article deals with the approaches of scientists to understanding the effectiveness of crossfit as a system of intensive physical training. Consideration and generalization of multi-vector approaches to understanding the effectiveness of this training system and the possible negative consequences for the physical condition of its followers, which has not been done before, will help to understand more deeply the nature of crossfit, its impact on the human body. The article describes the research on the potential benefits and possible negative consequences for the health of athletes in the crossfit training system. The apologists of this training system speak of the comprehensive development of the athlete's body through the use of force and aerobic exercise; diversification of the training process due to variability of exercises; attractiveness to the masses due to its quick results and combinations of physical activity from different fields and sports. Crossfit critics emphasize aspects such as: risk of injury; extreme load (force combined with speed); the risk of rhabdomyolysis and problems in the cardiovascular system; lack of professional crossfit trainers, as the discipline is young and diverse; the presence of technically complex exercises that can not be performed by an unprepared person; inability to follow the technique of performing many athletes at the same time by one trainer). The article provides recommendations for reducing the risk of negative impact on the physical condition of the individual: systematicity, variability and individualization, cyclicality, etc. Ukrainian trainers are gradually applying the methodological workings of their American founding colleagues, as well as forming a culture of conducting classes. Applied research on the effects of crossfit as a form of exercise on human health is still to come. The problem of «introductory testing» and the methodological component remain urgent.

Military-Applied Means of Physical Education in Pre-University Educational Institutions of the Russian Ministry of Defence

Introduction.. The main purpose of pre-university educational institutions of the Ministry of Defence ofRussia, e.g. Suvorov Military Schools, Nakhimov Naval Schools, presidential schools and cadet corps, is to educate graduates, who are highly motivated and sufficiently prepared for military vocational activities, including graduates’ general physical fitness. Successful performance of the task is complicated by the fact that educational process in such organisations has a general educational orientation, which is common for the entire system of school education. However, it is obvious that the specifics of the mission of preuniversity educational institutions of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation requires more intensive physical activities, which improve health and increase physical endurance of students, taking into account their age-specific physiological characteristics. In this regard, it is necessary to develop a variable methodological block as a supplement to an invariant part of the main programme of physical culture, which will be aimed at stimulating the development of motor and power capabilities, skills and professionally significant qualities of future military personnel.The aim of the research was to select and scientifically justify the introduction of appropriate and effective means for high-school students’ physical education in pre-university educational institutions of the Ministry of Defence ofRussia.Methodology and research methods. To identify the appropriate ways of solution of the problems of profile physical education of potential officers at the stage pre-professional development, the methodological framework was based on the theory of physical culture and sport, individually-modular approach to the development of the system of professional and applied physical training, its principles and regularities, conceptual provisions of health preservation in adolescence and youth. In the course of the research, the authors thoroughly studied the scientific and methodological sources, regulatory and legal base of the organisation of educational process, questions of its planning and control of all forms and activities of students’ physical training in military schools. The following methods were applied: interview, pedagogical observation, questionnaire survey, technique of entrance and final testing of selection of the research participants, formative experi ment, monitoring, comparative analysis and systematisation of indicators (resultant scores) of sports achievements of examinees. Experimental data were processed by the methods of mathematical statistics.Results and scientific novelty. The selection of means of physical training in pre-university all-service military and naval educational institutions was made on the basis of theoretical and statistical material of analytical review and collected empirical data and pedagogical experience in 17 pre-university educational institutions of the Ministry of Defence of Russia (n = 607). The list of the most productive means is made. The quantitative ratio of military-applied methods, which positively influence the system of physical training in the 10th-11th grades, is established. The pilot testing showed that systematic use of special training exercises of military-applied orientation significantly improves the indicators of physical training of students. The analysis of students’ questionnaires before and after the experiment revealed strengthening of students’ moral stability, growing interest in military science and motivation to studying of an applied training material, as well as significant increase in the number of applicants seeking to continue their training in higher educational institutions of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation and to dedicate their lives to military service. The proposals and practical recommendations on purposeful introduction of complexes of specialised physical exercises and elements of disciplines of military-applied sports to educational process are formulated.Practical significance. The results of the research can be employed to plan and organise physical training of high-school students of pre-university educational institutions of the Ministry of Defence ofRussia as additional programme and methodological support at the initial stage of military-applied physical training of future military specialists.
