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 aim of the article is to find out the requirements of the professional combat activity of servicemen of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to their physical and psychological preparedness. Methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical literature, Internet data networks, documentary method. On the basis of the analysis of open literary sources, the peculiarities of the professional and combat activities of servicemen of the Special Operations Forces (SOF) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and NATO member countries have been clarified. Their purpose and main tasks are disclosed. The historical aspects of the formation of the SOF have been studied. The typical tasks of the SOF have been clarified, including: modern combat operations and raids; psychological operations; work of "civil administration"; obtaining intelligence information on the front line; creation of agency networks; aid; search, evacuation and delivery of prisoners, hostages; preparation for coups, overthrow of regimes; introduction into the structure of military organizations and special services for the purpose of espionage or destruction of people who pose a threat to the state; anti-terrorist operations; detection, identification, determination of targets for own means of destruction. This determines the high requirements for the physical and psychological training of the personnel of the SOF.
The purpose of the work is to investigate the influence of kettlebell training on the formation of the physical readiness of cadets, future officers, to perform combat and other assigned tasks in accordance with the requirements of modern combat during training at a higher military educational institution. Future male officers of the 1st year of the Zhytomyr Military Institute named after S. P. Korolyov of the 2021 recruitment took part in the study, which was conducted during the academic year (n=50). To achieve the goal of the study, two statistically homogeneous groups were formed: experimental and control. The experimental group (EG) (n=25) included future officers who systematically engaged in kettlebell sports in the institute's section on kettlebell sports. Classes were held three times a week under the guidance of a trainer-teacher. The control group (CG) (n=25) included future officers who were additionally engaged in physical training in accordance with the Instruction on physical training in the system of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Classes were held three times a week during sports and mass work hours under the guidance of a course officer. It was established that the level of development of physical qualities among future officers who engaged in kettlebell training during their studies at the higher military educational institution is significantly higher at the end of the study than among future officers who engaged in physical training in accordance with the Instructions in the system of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The most pronounced impact of classes with kettlebell sports was found on the development of strength qualities and endurance of future EG officers.
Successful combat missions in local conflicts depend on the level of professional and physical training of servicemen. An effective means of physical training of military personnel are military-applied sports, which, on the one hand, provide for a high general level of physical fitness of military personnel, and on the other, form military-applied skills and abilities necessary in modern combat. The concept of development of physical training and sports in the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the period up to 2020, which was created taking into account the experience of combat operations in eastern Ukraine, NATO standards and the Euro-Atlantic integration vector of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, provides for approximation of physical training. introduction and development of military-applied sports. The article is devoted to the theoretical substantiation of the need to introduce military-applied sports into the educational process of the physical training of future officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Research methods: theoretical analysis of scientific and methodological literature, advanced experience of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, governing documents. It was found that the introduction of military-applied sports in the educational process for the physical training of future officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will contribute to an increase in their level of physical fitness, the upbringing of moral-volitional and psychological qualities, the formation of military-applied motor skills. In turn, this will contribute to the successful fulfillment of combat missions as intended in the process of military professional activity.
Power sports have always been very popular among servicemen. This is especially evident in recent times, when such power sports, as armsport, crossfit, kettlebell lifting, powerlifting have received some development. The article presents a comparative analysis of the power capabilities of cadets who specialize in various power sports. The study involved male cadets of the 4th year of various faculties (n=53) of the Military Academy (Odessa), who in the process of training were engaged in power sports: armsport (n=12), crossfit (n=16), kettlebell lifting (n=15), powerlifting (n = 10). In addition, the results of cadets-athletes were compared with the results of cadets of the faculty of training specialists of airborne assault troops and military intelligence and special purpose, who did not attend sports sections of the academy (n=60). Analysis of the power of the cadets was carried out on the following exercises: pull-up, lifting by coup, lifting by strength on the crossbar, 24 kg kettlebell snatch, push-up on the parallel bars, push-up. The conducted researches testified to the high level of development of power qualities of cadets of all sections of academy in power sports. There was no significant difference between the results of cadets of different power sports in most exercises. It is established that the power capabilities of cadets who are engaged in various power sports are significantly better than those of cadets who are not engaged in sports. This suggests that any of the studied power sports can be an effective means of developing and improving the power opportunities of future officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
