Background: Physical training is an integral part of policemen's professional training. The aim of the study is to verify experimentally the effectiveness of the authors' methodology of training future patrol policemen targeted at increasing their general physical fitness level during the primary professional training course.

Background and Study Aim. The battle training of military students is ineffective when limited to the knowledge of military equipment and ability to use it. The research theoretically and experimentally justifies how circular training can improve physical skills in future security specialists in HEIs of Ukraine. Material and Methods. The experiment involved a group of 7 respondents (aged between 21 and 23) of the Institute of the Department of State Guard of Ukraine. The methods of circular training were used to improve physical skills in future security specialists in HEIs of Ukraine. Results. The system of CrossFit training improves physical fitness of students and strengthens their motivation towards physical education and sport. Also it familiarizes them with modern approaches to organizing independent physical training. Circular training, in turn, contributes to the kinetic and emotional density of training, making it more diverse and engaging. Moreover, it enhances individual initiative and, therefore, increases motivation towards physical education. Conclusions . Circular training gives positive results and successfully improves general physical fitness of military students.

The article proves that one of the objectives of the contemporary high school is developing the potential of all participants of the pedagogical process, giving them opportunities for revealing creative abilities. Such a change in the role of education in society has led to innovative processes. We distinguish the following elements of innovative activity in HEIs: the goal (increasing the efficiency of resource use in the HEIs), the content (the processes of creating and applying the innovations, including regular ones) and the product (the quality of training the graduates of the HEIs). We also identified the following types of innovation: organizational, processive and productive, which are the subjects of innovative activity in the HEIs. Under these circumstances, the planning and application of innovations are considered as the area of involving teachers into innovation activity. We specified the factors increasing the number of innovative activities: organizational and technological preparation of creating innovations is considered pre-innovation activity; the production of innovations depends on research and scientific work; the application of innovations includes the stages of implementation, design and dissemination. We distinguished contextual, educational, scientific and innovative processes and the process of strategic development of human potential. We identified the prospects of researching the innovative environment of HEIs as a condition for effective innovative activity of teachers. Generally, the structure of indirect management of the innovative process includes the main stages of the reflexive regulation of searching a new idea: the stages of criticism, conscious rethinking and normalization of the activity. The organizational structure of such management includes the following stages: diagnostic, regulatory, analytical and verification. Knowledge of the varieties of structures and their main stages is necessary to define the whole system of reflective management, because the innovation process consists of micro-innovation processes, which need to be adjusted in communication. We analysed the basic structural components of the authors’ technology of managing the innovation process at the department level as a structural part of НЕІs.

The paper discusses the use of information technologies in professional training of future security specialists in the United States, Great Britain, Poland and Israel. The probable use of computer-based techniques being available within the integrated Web-sites have been systematized. It has been suggested that the presented scheme may be of great significance for organization of security specialists’ professional training in Ukrainian higher education institutions as it promotes searching for an individual paradigm in processing various data and adjusting to modern challenges of an information soceity.

It has been concluded that methodical and practical training of future security specialists for using information technologies should be related to practical skills. It has been found out that motivation play an important role in developing future security specialists’ practical skills. It has been proved that pedagogical professionalism promotes achievements of science and technology. Prospects for further researches are seen in studying the peculiarities of professional training of future security specialists in leading European countries.

The problem of corruption in the management of sports organizations has long since ceased to have an exclusively national character, becoming a global problem, particularly at the level of federal and international sports organizations. It is possible to state a specific limitation in studying problematic issues of criminal responsibility for corruption crimes in sports and the insufficiency of the development of certain aspects of establishing accountability for the specified offenses.This study aimed to identify the effectiveness of criminal legal measures in the form of criminal liability in the fight against corruption crimes in the management of sports organizations. The following methods were used in this study: information-analytical method; system approach method; method of comparison and comparison; method of descriptive analysis; method of pragmatic approach; forecasting method. According to the research results, the author's concept of corruption in the management of sports organizations was proposed. It has been established that criminal liability for corruption crimes in the field of management of sports organizations is an effective but insufficient measure to combat this phenomenon. This is evidenced by scientific studies of the last 5 years regarding the fight against match-fixing in certain types of sports in certain countries, which indicates the insufficient effectiveness of establishing criminal liability for corruption crimes in the management of sports organizations. There was a need to develop new, more effective measures to prevent and combat corruption crimes in the field of sports management. At the international level, it is necessary to create the Instruction on tackling corruption in the management of sports organizations, which will include measures and directions for combating and preventing corruption in sports, including improving criminal liability for these crimes. This study opens up the prospects for further research in the fight against corruption in the field of sports, in particular, ensuring control over the activities of national and international sports organizations by improving both the legislative framework and the practical implementation of its provisions in the field of regulation and management in the sports field.
