Formation of cadets’ physical readiness for professional activitшуі in the process of special physical training

Abstract

The article examines the influence of special physical training classes on the formation of physical readiness of cadets for future professional activities in the process of training at technical higher military educational institution. Cadets of the 1st-3rd years of study (n = 43) of the S. P. Koroliov Zhytomyr Military Institute took part in the study. Two groups were formed: experimental (EG, n=21), the cadets of which were engaged in the "CrossFit" classes, and control (CG, n = 22), the cadets of which were engaged according to the current system of physical training. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literature sources, pedagogical observation, pedagogical testing, methods of mathematical statistics. One of the means of physical training that can help solve the outlined problem is the means of special physical training "CrossFit". The essence of the "CrossFit" is to perform simple and affordable physical exercises for the development of physical qualities and different muscle groups by high-intensity circuit training (without rest between exercises or with short breaks for rest). It was found that the level of development of physical qualities among cadets who were engaged in the "CrossFit" classes at the end of the study was significantly higher than among those who were engaged in the current system of physical training during sports-mass work. The most pronounced influence of "CrossFit" classes was revealed on the development of the functional capacities of EG cadets (3 km running) and their strength qualities (pulling up on the crossbar).
