DEVELOPING PROFESSIONALLY IMPORTANT MOTOR QUALITIES IN MILITARY ENGINEERS WITH SPORTS TRAINING TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

Aim. The purpose of the study is to identify the nature of motor activity and the parameters of physical activity of military engineers and to develop a model for the improvement of their professionally important motor qualities. Materials and methods. The study involved military students (operation, repair and storage of armored vehicles; maintenance and repair of road transport, n = 43). The following methods were used for the purpose of the study: pedagogical testing, medical, biological, and physiological research methods (PWC₁₇₀, VO² max, and anthropometric measurements), pulse measurements, modeling, pedago­gical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. Results. A model for the improvement of professionally important motor qualities in military students was developed. This model involves various forms of comprehensive physical training, which contributes to the development of basic physical and professionally important motor qualities, including strength, speed-strength, and strength endurance. Conclusion. The model for the development of professionally important motor qualities with respect to the principles of sports training provides for an increase in basic physical qualities and professionally important motor qualities during the first two years of training followed by the maintenance of the achieved level by the last year of study. This confirms the effectiveness of the model proposed.
