Research methods: systematic analysis of pedagogical and psychological works on the research topic, pedagogical experiment, checking the level of physical fitness of employees, generalize the experience of practical work at the university, analysis of educational documentation, questionnaires, mathematical statistics method. Results of the study. The obtained research data indicate that this training method has confirmed its effectiveness, and the students of the experimental group showed higher results in the final classes, which provides conditions for the development of the most effective professionally important motor and psychomotor abilities of students.
