Development of police officers’ strength abilities

Introduction. The purpose is to develop, experimentally test and estimate the effectiveness of programme and methodological support of the organization of physical training classes. Materials and Methods. Analysis of scientific, methodological and documentary sources was used to study the content of applied gymnastics and athletic training classes. Pedagogical experiment was employed as well as methods of mathematical statistics to assess the reliability and significance of the differences between the physical fitness indicators in the control and experimental groups. Results and Discussion. The results of the entrance control of the trainees during the implementation of the basic program of professional training indicate a low level of physical fitness. The sequence of implementation of strength exercises in physical training for men and women with a detailed description of the load and variations in the use of muscle groups is presented. Conclusions. The experimental study on the application of programme and methodological support in the educational process of trainees reliably confirms the improvement of police officers' physical fitness.
