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.
Power sports have always been very popular among schoolchildren and students, servicemen and, especially, cadets of military institutions of higher education. Power sports such as armsports, crossfit, kettlebell lifting, powerlifting are especially popular among cadets. Each of these sports differs in the specifics of competitive activities, but combines the nature of training work, which has a power orientation with the use of both traditional and non-traditional means. In the process of power sports, cadets develop all physical qualities, and first of all – power qualities. The effectiveness of cadets’ future professional activity largely depends on the development of qualities qualities. The article examines the motivational and value attitude of cadets to power sports during studying. The study was conducted at the Odessa Military Academy by questionnaire, which was anonymous; 312 male cadets took part in the survey. It was found that among the main motives that motivate cadets to engage in power sports are: increasing physical fitness and improving health and physical development (31.7%), strengthening the physique, improving appearance (26.6%), increasing sports results in the chosen sport (22.1%). Among the factors that contribute to the preference of a particular power sport, revealed the ability to perform sports or get a sports title (26.6%), the ability to achieve high sports results (22.8%) and the presence and professionalism of a coach in a particular power sport (22.1%). The vast majority (93.9%) of cadets are convinced that power sports have a positive effect on improving health, physical development and functional state.
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
Modern conditions of military-professional (combat) activity of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine require a high level of development of their physical and volitional qualities, as well as military-applied motor skills. The most effective for ensuring the development and formation of these qualities and skills of servicemen are military-applied sports. Military pentathlon is a modern military-applied sport that is popular among cadets. The article examines the impact of military pentathlon on the dynamics of cadets’ special physical fitness. The study was conducted at the Military Academy (Odessa) in 2016–2021. The study involved cadets (ages 17–24) who attended a military pentathlon sports section (experimental group (EG), n = 30). The level and dynamics of special physical training of EG cadets were checked according to the exercises that are competitive in military pentathlon, during the annual military pentathlon competitions for the championship of Military Academy. The assessment was carried out according to the following tests: shooting with an AK-74, overcoming an obstacle course of 500 m, swimming 50 m with obstacles, throwing grenades, cross-country 8 km. It was found that at the end of training at the academy EG cadets significantly improved (p≤0,001) indicators: in shooting – by 36.8 points, in overcoming the obstacle course 500 m – by 59.2 s, in swimming 50 m with obstacles – by 5.4 is, in throwing grenades – for 38.9 points, in cross-country for 8 km – for 7 min 21.3 s. This indicates the positive impact of military pentathlon on the level of special physical training of cadets and the formation of their military-applied motor skills.
Physical training is a set of measures for the physical improvement of servicemen, aimed at the development of general and special physical qualities, the formation of military-applied skills, education of moral and volitional and psychological qualities. The main forms of physical training of the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine include training classes, morning exercise, sports and mass work, physical training in the process of training and combat activities. The most effective form of physical training for military-applied types of psor is sports and mass work.The purpose of the study is to investigate the motivation of cadets to introduction the military-applied sports during sports and mass work in higher military educational institution. To achieve this purpose we conducted a questionnaire using a questionnaire developed by authors, which contains 7 questions. The study was conducted at the Military Academy (Odesa). 508 cadets took part in the survey. It was found that more than 95% of cadets are convinced of the positive impact of physical training and sports on the effectiveness of their future professional activities, developing skills of mutual assistance, mutual assistance, creating a healthy morale in the military. 57.5% of cadets believe that interest in training during sports and mass work can be increased through the introduction of popular military-applied sports. 96.5% of cadets believe that the physical qualities and military-applied skills that are developed in the process of military-applied sports are professionally important in the modern combat activities of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
