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...

Analysis of servicemen participation in hostilities on the territory of the state has led to a significant increase in the number of personnel who have combat wounds, mutilations or injuries. Almost all participants in hostilities have health impairments, namely PCS, the prevalence of which is more than 70 % of the total number of injuries. This contingent of servicemen is important for the Ukrainian army, as their combat experience is a basis for the development and improvement of training of military specialists` training. However, their state of health can be an obstacle to the successful performance of their functional duties. The Purpose of the Study – to comprehensively investigate the functional state of the nervous system of servicemen who had PCS, using a battery of tests aimed at studying the psycho-emotional state. Research Stuff and Methods – 36 servicemen (average age 32,22±1,26 years) who had a history of concussion took part in the study. A set of tests included: tapping test, the Romberg test, finger-nose test, “Walking in a straight line with open and closed eyes” test, and the Yarotsky`s test. Findings. The tests used meet the basic requirements for screening, it means, they are simple, visual, economically feasible and allow obtaining sufficiently informative information about the health state of the participants. The absence of deep lesions of the nervous system was confirmed, that is, the testing proves the conclusions made regarding the pre-nozological nature of health disorders again.
