TECHNICAL AND PHYSICAL TRAINING AS AN ELEMENT OF PERSONAL SAFETY OF CADETS FOR FUTURE PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY

Abstract

The article considers technical and physical training as an element of personal safety of cadets for future professional activity. The author uses such research methods as: theoretical analysis, generalisation of scientific and methodological literature and data of the Internet; pedagogical observation; pedagogical testing; pedagogical experiment and methods of mathematical statistics. The concept of adaptation has been revealed as the process of an organism adjustment, population or other biological system to changing conditions. The article deals with the characteristics of the cadets’ physical activity.
The study was conducted on the basis of Academy of the State Penitentiary Service (Chernihiv) among third-year cadets of the Faculty of Law, studying in the specialty 262 «Law Enforcement». The research defines the level of technical and physical cadets’ readiness to apply measures of physical influence in professional activity, parameters of activity of an organism at rest: heart rate and arterial pressure, speed of reaction to a stimulus. The article describes exercises and methods for improving the physical training of cadets. There are also special exercises with a ball for tennis; the first exercise: the cadet faced the wall at a distance of 5 m throwing and catching the ball with one hand gradually reducing the distance, the second exercise: one cadet raises his/her hand in front of him/her at shoulder level and holds the ball in the hand, the second partner puts his/her hand on top, the first at its discretion spreads the palm, and the second must catch it until it touches the surface, gradually reducing the height, which in turn led to improved response to the stimulus.
As a result of the study, it has been found that there have been positive changes in the technical and physical training of cadets for personal safety in future professional activities. The goals are set for further development and improvement of cadets’ readiness for their adaptation in professional activity.
