THEORETICAL FUNDAMENTALS OF SELF-SAVING BEHAVIOR OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS OF EXTREME TYPE OF ACTIVITY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the theoretical foundations of self-preserving behavior of future specialists in extreme activities. The etymology and lexical meaning of the term “self-preservation” are analyzed. Theoretical analysis of the self-preserving behavior and its criteria in scientific sources is carried out. It has been found that most researchers distinguish between the concepts of self-preservation and health-preserving behavior, healthy lifestyle, the common task of which is to care for the health and preservation of individual life. It was found that a number of issues remain unresolved: there is no concept of self-preserving behavior of the individual in special and extreme conditions of activity; insufficiently developed technologies of health education and upbringing in higher education institutions with specific learning conditions; insufficiently studied specifics and stress factors of extreme activities and their impact on the mental and physical health of employees.
