Тhe readiness of female cadets for physical self-development under dif-ferent organizational and methodical conditions of physical activity in a military academy

Abstract

According to various sources, the issue of physical self-development of female cadets during their training at a military acad-emy is particularly relevant today. The purpose of the study is to de-termine the effectiveness of an experimental factor and a traditional approach to physical education of girls in forming their readiness for physical self-development after completing a military academy. Mate-rial and methods. the study involved the use of such methods as analy-sis, systematization, pedagogical experiment, psychodiagnostic testing, and mathematical statistics. All the tests used were consistent with the recommendations not only of domestic researchers but also of leading foreign countries. Data from 18 young female officers who had com-pleted their training at the academy a year earlier and used an experi-mental factor were compared with a group of 24 girls who did not use this factor. In addition, data from 108 female cadets who used a tradi-tional approach to organizing, forming, and implementing the content of physical activity were analyzed. Results. One year after the use of the experimental development, the number of female officers with a certain level of self-assessment of qualities enabling them to carry out physical self-development and the formation of the motivational-value component of readiness for this activity did not change. moreover, they showed significantly better results than the girls who used a tradition-al approach to organizing, forming, and implementing the content of physical activity during their training at the military academy. Conclu-sion. the study confirmed the high effectiveness of the experimental development in forming readiness for physical self-development in fe-male cadets
