Dynamics of future law enforcement officers' psychophysical state indicators in the course of their diverse training sessions on motor activity.

Abstract

Objective: Aim: The aim is to study the impact of training sessions in various service-applied sports on the dynamics of cadets' psychophysical state indicators in the course of their instruction at a higher educational institution with specific learning environment..

Patients and methods: Materials and Methods: The research was conducted in 2019-2023. The research involved 155 male cadets aged 17-23 who were divided into those who were additionally engaged in various service-applied sports during their instruction (n = 115) and those who, in addition to compulsory physical training, did not additionally engage in sports (group d, n = 40). Cadets' physical state was assessed by the indicators of their body weight, body length, age, heart rate, blood pressure and physical state index. The mental state was studied by the indicators of cadets' emotional resilience.

Results: Results: It has been found that most indicators of physical state and emotional resilience of cadets who were engaged in sports significantly improved in the course of their instruction. The most pronounced effect on the indicators of physical state was found in the group of cadets who were engaged in all-around sports, and on the indicators of emotional resilience - in the group of cadets who were engaged in martial arts.

Conclusion: Conclusions: The research showed that additional training in service-applied sports has a more effective impact on the psychophysical state of future law enforcement officers compared to traditional physical training sessions. Improving the psychophysical state of cadets in the training process will help to improve their future law enforcement activities.
