Objective of the study was to test benefits of a competitive powerlifting model with physical fitness and functionality indexing tests for physical training of the 45-49-year-old military personnel.
Methods and structure of the study. The competitive powerlifting model testing experiment was run at Military Academy of Logistics named after Army General A.V. Khrulev. We sampled for the study the 45-49-year-old service personnel (n= 31) and split them up into Control Group (n= 16) and Experimental Group (n= 15).
Results and conclusion. The Experimental Group was trained using the competitive powerlifting model with the pre- and post-training physical fitness and functionality indexing tests to timely and efficiently customize the individual training systems to the test data flow. The competitive powerlifting model was tested beneficial for the sample as it facilitates the training process customization for the individual progress needs and health standards.

Keywords: physical training, 45-49-year-old military men, military man functionality index, powerlifting, experiment.
