Today, during combat missions, a serviceman spends a lot of time in military equipment. The extra workload requires the development of functional status, physical development, general and applied physical qualities for long-term and effective performance of duties. The content of physical training needs to take into account modern requirements of professional activity and improvement taking into account innovative trends. The purpose of the work is to determine the effectiveness of conducting physical training classes in personal protective equipment in the field. To achieve this goal we used a set of scientific research methods, namely: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, testing, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. The study involved 124 servicemen, evenly divided into control and experimental groups. In total, more than 45 sources of information were analyzed, followed by a final review and 23 sources of literature, including 5 foreign authors, the material of which was processed using general scientific methods. Results. A comparative analysis of the results of EG and KG servicemen after the experiment proved the positive impact of the author’s content of classes on indicators of physical development, functional condition and physical fitness. If at the beginning of the experiment the results of CG servicemen were not significantly better than those of EG servicemen, then at the end - all indicators that assess functional status (2.6–4.4 %) and physical fitness (1.3-–7.6 %) is not significantly better in EG servicemen (p> 0.05). Conclusions. The author’s content of physical training classes significantly contributed to the improvement of results in the performance of exercises that characterize aerobic exercise during performance (p <0.05–0.01), improvement of physical development indicators (17.1 %; p <0.01) and functional state (6.3 %; p <0.05).

Abstract. Purpose: to work out and study influence of author's physical training program on functional fitness of military college officers. Material: in the research 83 3 rd year cadets of military college participated (experimental group, n=41; control group, n=42), of age 19-21 years. The cadets' functional state was registered by indicators of Shtange's test, Genchi test, test of Ruffiet -Dixon, Cooper's test. The volume of trainings was 4 hours a week. Results: it was found that the acting training programs do not permit to completely prepare combat soldier's organism for fulfillment of his tasks. We also found the purposefulness of special exercises and means' application in physical trainings, which would be approached by their structure to military officers' professional actions. Conclusions: it is recommended to conduct training with complex combining of different physical training sections (accelerated motion, overcoming obstacle course, hand-to-hand fighting and etc.) with special means ( armor vest, tactic unloading system, helmet, weapon, gas mask, training grenades and so on). Key words: military, college, functional state, readiness, physical load.Introduction 1 Analysis of scientific works 1, 6 showed that in conditions of anti-terrorists operation professional functioning has certain specific features and put forward high requirements to physical and psychological fitness of ground troops' military officers.In works 3, 6 it is noted that the main characteristics of professional functioning are watching at checkpoints, guarding of strategic objects (airports, railway stations, hospitals, storehouses and etc.) fulfillment of tasks in cities and towns (moving in ruined buildings, in premises with restricted space and so on.). Fulfillment of tasks in such condition requires from soldiers to manifest high coordination in complex conditions.Scientists [2,4,8] mention that significant physical and psychic loads result in military officers' nervousemotional tension. All these cause tensed work of cardio-vascular and respiratory systems. A number of authors [10,11,19] say that nervous-emotional tension results in the following: weakening of workability; increase of heart beats rate (HBR), breathing and BP; weakening of attention concentration; narrowing of attention and memory; increase of mistaken actions; quick fatigue.In works of many scientists [14,16,17] it is underlined that regular physical training increase plasticity of organism's regulatory systems. It happens at the account of functional reserve improvement. High physical fitness of military officers significantly expands their functional potentials [9]. With it adaptation to regular physical loads results in economizing of energy losses, when fulfilling military tasks [5,8].Analysis of works 10, 15 showed that in the process of physical training it is necessary to use special exercises and means, which by their structure would be maximally approached to soldiers' professional actions. It also significantly raises functional potentials o...

Keeping military units in constant combat readiness requires the leadership of the armed forces to find new approaches to the organization, structure and content of physical training. Research on the relationship between indicators of physical fitness of servicemen and their readiness to perform tasks assigned to them by domestic and foreign experts proves the need to improve the content of sets of tests of general and professionally applied physical fitness. The purpose of the study was to identify areas for improving the content of physical training in the armed forces of foreign countries to improve the combat readiness of servicemen. Research methods. Methods of theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature were used for the research. In total, more than 60 sources of information were analyzed, followed by a final review and 22 sources of literature, including 15 foreign authors, the material of which was processed using general scientific methods. Results. The study found that in the armed forces of NATO, the United States and Canada, physical fitness is considered one of the most important indicators of the readiness of personnel to perform professional tasks. One of the main strategies of physical training is to minimize the negative impact of real situation factors on the overall performance and combat readiness of personnel, which becomes especially important in conditions of long, continuous combat operations. Conclusions. The necessity of simplification of the domestic system of physical training with simultaneous substantiation of validity of tests for an estimation of the general and professionally applied physical fitness of military men is defined.

The long-term experience of physical training of the Armed Forces of foreign countries convincingly proves that hand-to-hand combat, with appropriate organization and conduct, can serve as an effective means of educating personnel in the spirit of devotion, contribute to instilling in servicemen a sense of responsibility, camaraderie and mutual assistance, loyalty to one’s duty, collectivism and cohesion. Today, when our servicemen take part in the defense of the state, it is especially important to use all possible means for the psychological readiness of servicemen in order to perform their assigned tasks in a high-quality manner. The successful performance of military tasks and the future fate of our country depend on the psychological preparedness of military personnel. The purpose of the research was to determine modern technologies and methods of improving hand-to-hand combat techniques to improve the combat and psychological training of servicemen. Research methods. To conduct the research, the methods of theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, questionnaires among experts (15 people) and cadets-future officers (120 cadets) were used, regarding the effectiveness of the application of the training model for future officers in hand-to-hand combat in the system of physical training. The methods of theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature were used to conduct the research. In total, more than 60 sources of information were analyzed, after which a final review was conducted and 34 literature sources were singled out, the material of which was processed using general scientific methods. The results. According to the results of the study, it was established that special physical training as an educational discipline aims to provide training of military personnel and specialists of power structures with a high level of versatile physical and psychological readiness, capable of effectively and qualitatively solving assigned tasks, to withstand mental, neuropsychological and physical stress without reducing the effectiveness of military professional activity, mastering the skills of using means of physical influence and self-defense, as well as minimizing the negative impact of the factors of the real situation on the general efficiency and combat readiness of personnel, which becomes especially relevant in the conditions of long, continuous combat operations. Conclusions. The need for the process of training the future personnel of military personnel and specialists of the security forces of Ukraine for complex forms of pedagogical activity, in which medical-biological, psychophysiological, and organizational-methodical approaches are integrated, is determined. Accounting for all the mentioned approaches in a complex is the most important condition for increasing the effectiveness of the learning process

To study the effectiveness of kinesiotherapy in medical rehabilitation of patients with isolated fractures of the forearm bones.The aim of the study. The study was conducted in 44 patients aged 19-85 years with isolated fractures of the forearm bones, who underwent surgical treatment with osteosynthesis. In the control group (n=21), a standard course of medical rehabilitation was conducted in the postoperative period, which included massage, physiotherapy exercises and magneototherahy. In the main group (n=23), in the postoperative period, the kinesiotherapy of the shoulder and forearm was performed against the background of a standard course of medical rehabilitation. Kinesio tapes were used on the 2nd day after the operation and applied for 72 hours, after which they were changed to new ones. The duration of the study was 12 months. The severity of the pain syndrome, the amplitude of the movement of the wrist joint and the rotational movements of the forearm, the strength of the fist grasp, the function of the upper limb, the quality of life of the patients were evaluated. Results of the research. The use of kinesiotherapy in the period from 1 month after the operation significantly reduced the subjective severity of the pain syndrome by an average of 22.7 %, reduced the number of patients with persistent edema by 1.75 times and increased the number of patients without edema by 2.3 times compared with application of a standard course of medical rehabilitation. The parameters of the amplitude of motion in the wrist joint, rotational movements, and the dynamometry of the fist grasp in patients of the main group were slightly higher than those in the control group throughout the observation period. In the long-term period, the number of patients with excellent treatment outcomes in the main group was 1.5 times higher than in the control group, the number of patients with satisfactory results was 1.3 times lower than in the control group. Conclusions. Kinesiotaping is a promising, simple, non-traumatic method that does not cause side effects and complications, significantly reduces the pain syndrome, improve the quality of life of patients, this method helps earlier relief of postoperative edema and fuller recovery of clinical and functional condition of the radial-carpal joint. Kinesiotaping can be used as one of the methods in the complex recovery of patients with isolated fractures of the forearm with the physical rehabilitation and adaptive physical education.
