The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of different training activities on the development of the logical thinking of junior athletes who specialize in various sports. 131 students-athletes and 77 students-non-athletes aged 17-20 took part in the study. They were divided into two experimental groups (group A and group B) and one control group (group C). Group A included 69 students-athletes who were engaged in speed and power sports (boxing, freestyle wrestling, sprinting, hurdling, jumping, throwing). Group B included 62 students-athletes who were engaged in endurance sports (skiing, cycling, swimming). Group C included 77 students of higher education institutions who did not do sports. The study of the athletes' logical thinking was carried out according to the methodology of "Numerical series". It was found that the student-athletes who were engaged in endurance sports (group B) were registered to have significantly better (р<0.05-0.001) values of all three indicators of logical thinking (number of errors, speed of thinking and general assessment of the state of logical thinking) in comparison with the student-athletes who were engaged in speed and power sports (group A) and students-non-athletes (group C). Moreover, it was established that the students-non-athletes had a significant improvement in the indicators of logical thinking in comparison with the students-athletes who were engaged in speed and power sports (р<0.05-0.001).

The objective of this study was to identify informative anthropometric and functional indicators for design- ing self-training exercise programs for middle-aged obese women. The study involved 105 women with an average age of 38.9 and was conducted at the Scientific Research Institute of NUPESU. The physical fitness profile of the middle-aged overweight and obese women was assessed by use of factor analysis. The dom- inant factor was the anthropometric status (42.1% of the total variance) and included 14 indicators. The second factor (21.2% of the total variance) included ten indicators characterising functional state of the cardiorespiratory system. The third and fourth factors (18.1% of the total variance) included eight indica- tors characterising physical fitness and coordination abilities. Five indicators were selected based on the factor analysis: waist circumference, abdominal circumference, waist to hip circumference ratio, adaptation potential, and VO 2 max. Correlation analysis performed to verify the informative value of the selected mark- ers showed that the waist circumference significantly correlated with 28 studied indicators; the abdominal circumference correlated with 29 indicators; the waist to hip circumference ratio correlated with 24 indica- tors of physical condition; the adaptation potential correlated with 24 indicators; and VO 2 max significantly correlated with 18 indicators. Informative markers selected based on the factor and correlation analyses can be used for designing and assessing the effectiveness of physical exercise programs for middle-aged overweight and obese women.

The scientific work presents a detailed analysis of the 17-19 years young men morphofunctional status screening studies. The young men who took part in the research did not have any pathologies in their health and belonged to the main medical group. To effectively address the goal of the study, a wide range of methods typical of researches in the field of physical culture and sports was used. A total of 34 indicators were studied, including 23 direct measurements. The reliability of the obtained results is confirmed by adequate theoretical substantiation of scientific positions and research apparatus, highly informative and reliable research methods, optimal duration, correctness of processing, analysis and interpretation of the obtained data. The relevance of the chosen topic is confirmed by the results of the study, which were based on knowledge of age anatomy, age physiology, hygiene of physical culture and sports. Analysis of the young men morphological condition individual results in pre-conscription age indicates incomplete formation of the musculoskeletal system, and the circumferential size of the waist and hips, which exceeded physiological norms indicate the presence of excess body weight. There is a significant asymmetry between the results of wrist dynamometry, the difference between the strength of the right hand and the left hand is 6.2 kg. Studies of the body composition revealed that the average group performance of muscle and bone components of the young men aged 17-19 years is below the physiological norm. The range of muscle component values ranges from a minimum of 36.2% to a maximum of 78.7%, indicating sample heterogeneity. Studies of cardiovascular parameters revealed: heart rate at rest, which exceeded the physiological norm in 26.3% of test subjects, signs of bradycardia in 7.6% of test subjects, signs of hypotension were found in 4.7% of test subjects, signs of hypertension were found in 18.4% of test subjects. We found 7.6% of young men with the pulse pressure exceeded the permissible threshold. The vast majority, which is 70.7% of the studied young men of pre-conscription age, had individual results of endurance coefficient in the range of 17-29 s.u., which indicates a weakened activity of the cardiovascular system. Low individual indicators of lung vital capacity are observed at 8.3% of young men, and are in the range of 2.6-2.9 l. 10.1% of young men with individual respiratory rate results significantly higher than the age norm were also found. In the course of the study, we found that only 19.1% of pre-conscription youth had individual results of the hypoxia index which corresponded to the age norm. The individual results of the Rufier test in pre-conscription young men were distributed as follows: 7.9% have above average level of physical working capacity, 37.2% have average level of physical working capacity, 42.3% have satisfactory level, 12.6% have low level of physical working capacity. It should be noted that as a result of the study we did not find any young men who would have a high level of physical capacity.

The paper presents the results of an experimental study on the development of professional endurance and psycho-emotional stability in the future officers of operational level during training in a higher military educational institution. The educational research was conducted in three stages, in the National Defence University of Ukraine, named after Ivan Cherniakhovskyi. The current level of professional endurance in this category of officers gave grounds to assume that with traditional approaches to the organisation of the educational process, it is quite difficult to achieve a high level of development of this property. Therefore, there is a need to find and substantiate the pedagogical conditions for developing professional endurance in officers and improving their mental health. To confirm the effectiveness of the implementation of the conditions defined by the authors at the beginning and end of the experiment, a comparison of the obtained data of the experimental group (EG) and control group (CG) was carried out according to the authors’ criteria and indicators. The results of the study on the implementation and substantiation of pedagogical conditions for the development of professional endurance in officers confirmed that the proposed measures contributed to the effective development of this quality. Statistical methods ensure that the officers from the EG had statistically significant changes in professional endurance as a result of the experiment. Comparison of the development of professional endurance in the EG at the beginning and end of the experiment using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test confirmed the effectiveness of implementing appropriate pedagogical conditions for the development of professional endurance and psycho-emotional stability.

Однією із актуальних проблем у практиці фізичного виховання студентської молоді на сьогодні стоїть питання пошуку та розробки оздоровчих технологій, які будуть сприяти збереженню та зміцненню фізичного здоров’я. Мета. Визначити вплив засобів функціонального тренінгу на фізичний стан юнаків 18–19 років у процесі фізичного виховання. Методи. Аналіз літературних джерел і узагальнення даних спеціальної науково-методичної літератури; педагогічне спостереження, педагогічне тестування фізичної підготовленості та педагогічний експеримент; методи антропометрії і функціональної діагностики; методи математичної статистики. Результати. В ході педагогічного експерименту було встановлено, що заняття із використанням засобів функціонального тренінгу мали позитивний комплексний вплив на роботу кардіо-респіраторної системи, рівень фізичної працездатності і підготовленості. Порівнюючи результати показників функціонального стану наприкінці педагогічного експерименту, виявили у юнаків вірогідні зміни (р < 0,05; р < 0,01) у показниках частоти серцевих скорочень у стані відносного спокою та пробах із затримкою дихання Штанге і Генчі. Середньогрупові значення індексу Руф’є та Робінсона теж зазнали позитивних вірогідних змін (p < 0,05; p < 0,01), що вказує на покращення функціональної здатності серцевого м’яза, резервних можливостей серцево-судинної та дихальної систем. Завдяки заняттям функціональним тренінгом переважна більшість юнаків змогли скласти тести і нормативи щорічного оцінювання фізичної підготовленості населення України на позитивні бали. Отримані результати педагогічного експерименту дають підстави стверджувати, що засоби функціонального тренінгу, які застосовували у процесі фізичного виховання, мали позитивний вплив на переважну більшість досліджуваних показників. Ключові слова: фізичний розвиток, кардіо-респіраторна система; фізична підготовленість, студентська молодь.

the study of the adaptive capabilities of the cardiovascular system of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine requires a comprehensive study. this issue is relevant in the conditions of the legal regime of martial law. The purpose of the research was to study conditions of the regulatory mechanisms of the vegetativenervous system of servicemen in the conditions of the legal regime of martial law. to solve the defined goal, we conducted a study of a group of operational-level officers (n=201, the average age of the subjects was 36.4 years). the study was conducted using a multifunctional device “mPFI Rhythmograph-1”. Heart rate variability and the obtained results were processed using methods of mathematical statistics. The research’s results of heart rate parameters in operational-level officers were conducted on the basis of time, spectral and autocorrelation indicators. According to the results of the study, it was found that the sympathetic nervous system dominates in military personnel. this indicates a intensification of the autonomous regulation of heart rate. the obtained results of the heart rate variability of the operational-level officersindicate increasing of sympathetic influences, which may be related with increasing level of fatigue. the obtained results of spectral indicators showed the presence of extreme values in the ranges of 75 % percentile. this indicates a violation of metabolic and energy processes in the studied group. the study of the indicators of autocorrelation analysis helped us to obtain additional information about officers’ heart rate. the obtained median result is 0.810 units. this indicates a high degree of correlation between successive heart rate intervals with one interval distance. A correlation analysis was also conducted and it was determined that the median result is 19.0 pairs of intervals. Conclusions. the interpretation of the obtained results can be useful for studying the physiological condition of operational-level officers during combat missions. the results can be used to develop training programs. And this will help to reduce the impact of stress on the servicemen, to increase the adaptive capabilities and to monitor their functional conditions.

Мета. Проаналізувати динаміку у показниках фізичного розвитку та композиційного складу тіла військовослужбовців під час виконання професійних завдань в екстремальних умовах. Методи. Антропометричні; динамометричні; каліперометричні, біоімпедансний аналіз композиційного складу тіла; методи математичної статистики. Результати. Порівняльний аналіз результатів фізичного розвитку та композиційного складу тіла майбутніх фахівців фізичної культури і спорту Збройних сил України, які виконували свої професійні обов’язки в екстремальних умовах протягом чотирьох місяців? дав можливість виділити найбільш статистично значущі зміни цілого комплексу показників. Зміни в досліджуваних показниках були обумовлені необхідністю перебування курсантів протягом 12–16 год у бойовому спорядженні з особистою зброєю та в індивідуальних засобах захисту масою 15–20 кг. Найбільш статистично значущі зміни відбулися в бік збільшення у показниках довжини тіла, окружності талії, результатах за медіаною, верхньому та нижньому процентилях. Протягом чотирьох місяців у курсантів відбулася динаміка результатів жирового компонента. М’язовий компонент також вірогідно збільшився, як і кістковий компонент. Отримані результати дали можливість проаналізувати зміни морфологічного статусу курсантів під час виконання ними службових обов’язків в екстремальних умовах. У ході порівнювального аналізу отриманих результатів нами було встановлено, що перебування у військовому спорядженні та індивідуальних засобах безпеки протягом 12–16 год має вплив на показники фізичного розвитку та композиційного складу тіла військовослужбовців. Ключові слова: військовослужбовці, морфологічний статус, екстремальні умови, жировий компонент, м’язовий компонент.
