The influence of the kettlebell lifting training on the level of endurance development and functional abilities of the cadets' cardiovascular system in the course of study is examined in the article. Cadets of the 1 st-5 th years of study (n=474) who were studying according to the current system of physical training (group А, n=416) and cadets who were attending a kettlebell lifting class (group B, n=58) took part in the research. The study of the level of endurance development was conducted during the following tests: 3 km race, 5 km accelerated march, and the obstacle course (400 m). The cardiovascular system functioning was examined concerning these indicators: heart rate, arterial blood pressure, Robinson's index, and heart rate recovery from a standard load. The improved indicators of the endurance and cardiovascular system of group B cadets have been reliably determined (р<0.05-0.001) which proves the efficiency of the kettlebell lifting training concerning the future officers' formation of physical readiness for professional activity.

In terms of functioning of physical education system in higher educational establishments, a four-year educational pedagogical experiment with the application of the directional technology of acquiring professional-applied motor skills was implemented. According to the results of approbation of experimental technology, a reliable improvement in the state of psychophysiological qualities was recorded in the study group: evaluation of the process of main nervous processes excitation-by 125.32 Ms (p<0.001), the forces of the excitation process, internal inhibition and mobility of the main nervous processes-by 145.99 Ms (p<0.001), "an adequate indicator of the relative change in the strength of the excitation process, internal inhibition and mobility of the main nervous processes"-by 20.66 Ms (p<0.001).

The article is devoted to the topical issue of improving the special physical training of cadets of higher military educational institutions by means of military-applied sports. The task of forming the psychophysiological readiness of officers for future military-professional activity in the process of training in a higher military educational institution is solved with the help of a number of disciplines of professional-oriented (military-professional) training, the leading of which is special physical training. According to the authors, classes in the sections of military-applied sports help prepare cadets for future military-professional activities. Military-sports all-around is one of the military-applied sports. The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of military-sports all-around classes on the indicators of special physical training of cadets of higher military educational institutions. Materials and methods. The study was conducted in the period from September 2017 to October 2019 on the basis of Ivan Kozhedub Kharkiv National University of the Air Force and was aimed at determining the indicators of special physical fitness of cadets. The study involved 95 cadets of the control group, who studied under the current system of physical training and 36 cadets of the experimental group, who were engaged in the section of military-sports all-around. The age of the subjects ranged from 17 to 26 years. During the experiment, there was a study of indicators of special physical training of cadets by the results of special physical exercises (complex dexterity exercise, complex strength exercise, forced march for 5 km) and determining of the average score of special physical training. Results and discussion. The results of the study show an improvement in the results of the representatives of the experimental group in relation to the respondents of the control group: a complex exercise for dexterity by 2.1% (p <0.01), a complex strength exercise by 5.6% (p <0.01), a forced march for 5 km at 1.1% (p <0.01). The average score of special physical training of the experimental group of cadets after the experiment is statistically significantly better than the score of the control group representatives by 8.8% (p <0.05) and corresponds to the score "excellent". Conclusion. Military-sports all-around classes allow to improve the indicators of special physical training of university cadets
