The effectiveness of students’ preparation in physical training at the universities of various departments

Abstract

Purpose: To make a comparative analysis and evaluate the effectiveness of physical exercises in a technical university and departmental university of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Material: The study involved male students (1 functional group of health) of the Irkutsk National Research Technical University (Russia, n = 1380) and cadets of the East Siberian Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia (Russia, n = 762). Cadets studied at 1, 2 and 3 courses. The characteristics of physical preparation and the functional condition of students and cadets were analyzed. Results: During the training period, most indicators of cadets’ physical preparation significantly exceed their values in students. This is due to the preliminary selection of candidates for training in educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. It is also associated with a expressed training orientation of the process of physical preparation. The dynamics of the values of the indicators of the functional condition of the body of cadets is characterized by a high price of adaptation to physical activity. This can lead to the occurrence of pre-pathological conditions and pathological processes of the cardiovascular system. Conclusions: The dynamics of the values of indicators of physical preparation of students and cadets cannot be the only objective criterion for the effectiveness of the system of their physical education. For its full assessment, it is necessary to analyze the parameters of the functional condition of the body, characterizing the reaction to physical activity. Cadets have a great adaptation to physical activity. In this case, it cannot be concluded that the physical training of cadets is more effective.
