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...

At the same time, the study of the educational process at the higher military educational institution and military practice showed that the physical fitness of young officer-graduate artillerymen has certain shortcomings. During the study of reviews of gunnery graduates, it was found that 22 % of reviews contain conclusions about the insufficient level of physical fitness of young officers. All this testifies to the urgency of finding new, more effective approaches to the development of physical qualities and military-applied combat skills in artillery cadets. The purpose of the work is to experimentally test the effectiveness of the developed proposals for improving the physical training of artillery cadets with an emphasis on the development of strength and power endurance. Methods – theoretical analysis and generalization of practical experience; survey of cadets and specialists; pedagogical observation and experiment; medical and pedagogical testing; mathematical and statistical analysis of the obtained results. All the tests used were consistent with the recommendations of domestic and foreign researchers. Cadets – future officers (21.6 ± 1.5 years old) who started their fourth year of training at the beginning of the experiment took part in the study military academy. A total of 121 cadets and officers of artillery specialties were involved, of which 40 cadets were divided into control and experimental groups. The results. The survey of 121 respondents revealed that the most important factors that determine the effectiveness of the physical training of gunner cadets are the use of physical exercises to develop strength and power endurance (24.1 % of respondents) and the use of loads in the process of physical training adequate to the conditions of the combat activity of an officer- artillerymen ( 12.9 % of respondents). During the analysis of the conducted study, it was established that the main pedagogical conditions for improving the quality of physical training of artillery cadets are a rational distribution of training load in all forms of physical training, a gradual but constant increase in physical load with an emphasis on strength training and endurance. Conclusions. Improve methods of conducting physical training with artillery cadets should first of all be carried out with the use of loads adequate to the combat conditions of the artillery officer and modeling of physical training, in accordance with the specifics of the military and professional activity of gunners when performing combat tasks. The developed recommendations for the physical training of artillerymen cadets of the experimental group (EG) showed high efficiency, which made it possible to increase their level of physical fitness by 21.2 %, while in the control group (CG) such an increase was 8.8 %. The functional state of the cadets’ bodies has also changed positively. The level of the studied indicators improved by an average of 18.2 % in EG, and by 7.1 % in CG

The purpose of the study was to experimentally check the effectiveness of the developed proposals for improving the physical training of artillery cadets with an emphasis on the development of strength and power endurance. Materials and methods. The main material was scientific articles, archival data, guiding documents on the organization, structure and content of physical training in the armed forces of Ukraine and NATO countries. To achieve the goal, a complex of general scientific research methods was used: theoretical analysis, generalization of practice experience, survey of cadets and specialists, pedagogical observation and experiment, medical and pedagogical testing, mathematical and statistical analysis of the obtained results. The time aspect of the appearance of information on a certain topic was also taken into account. Similarly, direct study of printed literary sources took place, in particular, information from journal articles about lists of used literature. In total, more than 80 sources of information were analyzed, after which a final review was conducted and 31 literature sources were singled out, the material of which was processed using general scientific methods. Results and discussion. A survey of 121 physical education specialists showed that the most important factors that determine the effectiveness of the physical training of artillery cadets are the use of physical exercises to develop strength and power endurance (29.1% of respondents) and the use of loads in the process of physical training that are adequate for the conditions of the officer's combat activity (15.9% of respondents). During the analysis of the conducted study, it was established that the main pedagogical conditions for improving the quality of physical training among artillery cadets are the rational distribution of training load in all forms of physical training, a gradual but constant increase in physical load with an emphasis on strength training and endurance. Conclusion. The analysis of the conducted survey of specialists determined the need to improve the methodology of conducting physical training with artillery cadets, paying attention to the main pedagogical conditions for its implementation. This is, first of all, the use in the process of physical training of cadets of a load adequate to the conditions of the combat activity of an artillery officer and modeling of physical training, in accordance with the features of the military and professional activity of artillerymen when performing combat tasks. A gradual increase in the intensity and volume of physical activity is important. In the course of the research, the developed program of physical training of artillery cadets of the experimental group showed high efficiency, which allowed to increase the level of their physical fitness by 21.2%, while in the control group such an increase was 8.8%. The implementation of the program had a positive effect on the functional state of the cadets’ bodies. The level of the studied indicators improved by an average of 18.2% in experimental group, and by 7.1% in control group
