The purpose of the study was to determine the dynamics of anthropometric and functional indicators of the physical condition of first-year cadets over three years (from 2019 to 2021). Materials and methods. 152 cadets from Ivan Kozhedub Air Force National University were involved in the experiment. The age of participants was from 17 to 22 years. All cadets were informed about the experiment and gave their consent. Anthropometric (measurement of anthropometric data) and medical-biological (rhythm inversion, electromanometry) methods of investigation were used to determine the assessment of the cadets’ physical condition. A highly informative method – the assessment of O. Pirogova index was used for analysis of the cadets’ physical condition. Pirogova physical condition index is a complex indicator based on the heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, age, body weight, and body height. Statistical analysis of the results was carried out using the EXCEL tables. The data was analyzed using Student’s test, p less than 0.05 was considered the level of significance. Results and discussion. The results of the study showed that the mean values of the anthropometric and functional indicators of the first-year cadets have not been changed statistically significant over three years. The exception is the difference in the average value of systolic blood pressure of control group 1 and control group 3 representatives, which is statistically reliable (p <0.05). Current anthropometric indicators of cadets obtained during the experiment confirmed the data available in the scientific and methodological literature about the anthropometric indicators of candidates for training in higher military educational institutions of Ukraine. The Pirogova physical condition index calculating showed the following average values of the Pirogova physical condition index: control group 1 – 0.704 points, control group 2 – 0.688 points, control group 3 – 0.671 points. However, the results of the study show a statistically significant deterioration of the Pirogova physical condition index of the 2021 recruitment cadets by 4.7% compared to the representatives of 2019. The comparative analysis of the first-year cadets' physical condition assessments demonstrates a gradual, significant decrease in the number of “high” physical condition ratings: 12% among control group 1 cadets (2019 year of recruitment); 9% among control group 2 representatives (2020 year of recruitment) and only 3% among control group 3 cadets (2021 year of recruitment). However, over three years, the percentage of representatives with physical condition assessment rating “Lower than average” has increased significantly: 1% among cadets of control group 1 (2019 year of recruitment); 7% among cadets of control group 2 (2020 year of recruitment); 7% among representatives of control group 3 (2021 year of recruitment). Conclusion. Over the last 3 years, there has been a deterioration of the general physical condition of higher military educational institution cadets

Стаття присвячена актуальному питанню покращення рівня фізичної підготовленості курсантів вищих військових навчальних закладів. Мета статті-дослідити вплив занять військово-спортивним багатоборством на рівень розвитку фізичних якостей і загальний рівень фізичної підготовленості курсантів вищих військових навчальних закладів. До дослідження залучено 95 курсантів контрольної групи, які навчалися за чинною системою фізично підготовки, та 36 курсантів експериментальної групи, котрі займалися в секції військово-спортивного багатоборства. Вік досліджуваних-від 17 до 26 років. У ході експерименту проведено педагогічне тестування рівня розвитку фізичних якостей (швидкості, сили, витривалості) та визначено рівень фізичної підготовленості за Ключові слова: військовоспортивне багатоборство, фізична підготовка, курсанти, вищі військові навчальні заклади.

The article deals with the actual problem of physical training means' optimal alignment during basic mesocycle. The hypothesis of study is an assertion about the practicability of statodinamic method of training and CrossFit system complexes for development of Combat Combination athletes' power abilities. The purpose of the article is to investigate the power abilities improving specialty of Combat Combination athletes during basic mesocycle. 36 athletes aged 19-22 years from Kozhedub Air Force National University were involved in the studies. The previous and recapitulative athletes' power tests were conducted; pedagogical and mathematic methods were used during the experiment. The results demonstrate the improvement of absolute power by 6,82 % (р<0,05) and power endurance by 7,25 % (р<0,05). Conclusion: the applying of the statodynamic method of training and CrossFit system complexes in the basic mesocycle training program positively affects on the development of power abilities of Combat Combination fighters.
