Abstract

The article substantiates the system of basic scientific approaches to teaching special physical training to future SSU officers, highlights the theoretical foundations and examines the state and formation of the content of special physical training of future SSU operational officers, and suggests ways to improve this area of work in the agency's higher education institutions. The current stage of the SSU reform is aimed at intensifying the process of training of servicemen. One of its priority areas is to strengthen the applied orientation of physical education, which will contribute to the development and improvement of special physical qualities of future officers, the formation of skills for effective actions in combat groups and individually in conditions of increased risk and difficult operational environment. The physical fitness of officers allows them to maintain their performance and skills of effective management of subordinates in stressful situations encountered in the performance of operational and service tasks. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important to optimize the process of cadets' physical training and to form their readiness to perform complex professional tasks. One of the most important areas of the SSU's development is the formation of an operative's personality and physical qualities, which affects the level of professionalism of the entire agency. In the course of combat missions, it is the physical fitness of servicemen that helps to maintain health and increase resistance to dangerous factors. It is no coincidence that in recent years, physical culture has been increasingly referred to not only as an independent social phenomenon, but also as a stable quality of personality. The ways to improve the system of special physical training through standardization of learning outcomes, integration of combat training elements into a single integrated training system are identified.
