Abstract

Purpose: to determine demand and opportunities of military officers’ physical perfection in conditions of positional defense. Material: in research personnel of companies’ strong points (n = 32), scouts (n = 26), drivers of military automobile transport (n = 23) participated. Results: it was found that 64% of mobilized military officers prefer to practice physical perfection in period of fighting capability’s restoration. Only 27% had desire to physically train. 16% practice physical training. 13% of personnel practice physical training from time to time. We found insufficient level of military officers’ applied skills. It was determined that key factor in formation of military officers’ demand in physical perfection was their inner motivation, based on own experience of sports trainings. Conclusions: Troops’ being in conditions of positional defense for long time is not an obstacle for realization of military officers’ demand in physical perfection. Character of military officers’ functioning in zone of conflict permits to organize systemic process of physical training by means of fulfillment of power oriented physical exercises and improvement of some applied skills.
