According to various sources, the issue of physical self-development of female cadets during their training at a military acad-emy is particularly relevant today. The purpose of the study is to de-termine the effectiveness of an experimental factor and a traditional approach to physical education of girls in forming their readiness for physical self-development after completing a military academy. Mate-rial and methods. the study involved the use of such methods as analy-sis, systematization, pedagogical experiment, psychodiagnostic testing, and mathematical statistics. All the tests used were consistent with the recommendations not only of domestic researchers but also of leading foreign countries. Data from 18 young female officers who had com-pleted their training at the academy a year earlier and used an experi-mental factor were compared with a group of 24 girls who did not use this factor. In addition, data from 108 female cadets who used a tradi-tional approach to organizing, forming, and implementing the content of physical activity were analyzed. Results. One year after the use of the experimental development, the number of female officers with a certain level of self-assessment of qualities enabling them to carry out physical self-development and the formation of the motivational-value component of readiness for this activity did not change. moreover, they showed significantly better results than the girls who used a tradition-al approach to organizing, forming, and implementing the content of physical activity during their training at the military academy. Conclu-sion. the study confirmed the high effectiveness of the experimental development in forming readiness for physical self-development in fe-male cadets

The purpose of the study was to determine the parameters of the physiological characteristics of young men with different somatotypes, which they achieved by performing physical activity in the conditions of the Covid-19 quarantine. Materials and methods. 39 young men aged 17.6±0.5, who had no restrictions in the use of different amounts of physical activity and belonged to different somatotypes, took part in the study. Somatotypes were diagnosed using the Shtefko-Ostrovsky method in the modification of S. Darskaja. To obtain the necessary data, well-known functional tests were used to establish blood pressure, heart rate in various states, vital capacity, vital capacity index, index maximum isometric strength, and Robinson index. We evaluated the parameters of these characteristics in representatives of each somatotype during the academic year and compared these parameters in different somatotypes. In the latter case, the results at the beginning (January) and at the end (May-June) of the study were used; they lasted for one academic year. Results. At the beginning, and to an even greater extent at the end of the school year, the parameters of the studied characteristics in the representatives of the existing somatotypes differed among themselves (p at the level from 0.05 to 0.0001). The volumes and conditions of physical activity used during the academic year led to the deterioration of the physiological characteristics of all young men. However, there were peculiarities caused by belonging to a certain somatotype. Conclusions. Establishing the specifics of changes in the parameters of the physiological characteristics of young freshmen, taking into account their somatotypes, is an important task for the modernization of physical education in a higher education institution. The obtained data contribute to the individualization of the substantive and normative foundations of physical education of young people, using for this purpose data on the manifestation and change of parameters in various characteristics, including physiological ones.
