Improving the physical state of cadets of higher education institutions with specific learning conditions during the additional sports classes

Abstract

The article examines the level and dynamics of indicators of the physical state of cadets who engaged in sambo wrestling during their studies at higher education institutions with specific training conditions. 60 cadets (male) of the National Academy of Internal Affairs, aged 19-22, who were studying in senior courses (III and IV years) took part in the research. The cadets who additionally practiced in the sambo wrestling classes were included in the experimental group (EG, n=25), and their peers who did not attend additional sports classes - in the control group (CG, n=35). The study of the physical state was carried out according to indicators of physical development (height, body weight, vital capacity, hand dynamometry) and functional capabilities of the cadets' body (pulse rate, blood pressure, duration of pulse recovery after standard exercise). Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical literature, pedagogical observation, testing, experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. It has been established that results of EG cadets were significantly better than CG cadets for all studied indicators. At the end of the experiment, the EG cadets had significantly better than those of CG, indicators of body weight - for 2.2 kg, hand dynamometry - for 3.1 kg, pulse rate - for 0.7 bpm, pulse recovery time - for 4,5 s. This testifies to the effectiveness of additional classes in sambo wrestling, not only for the formation of professional skills and abilities in the application of police coercive measures, but also for improving the physical state of future law enforcement officers.
