Introduction. Physical training of cadets of the fire and rescue Academy is a basic component of training specialists in universities of this profile. In this regard, monitoring the physical fitness of cadets at all stages of training at the Academy contributes, in our opinion, to maintaining at the proper level and developing the physical qualities of future specialists in the fire and rescue industry.
The purpose of the study is to identify the dynamics of the cadets' physical fitness indicators during the training period at the fire and rescue Academy and to propose measures to improve the educational programs of physical training.
Methodology and organization of the study. 500 cadets of the Fire and rescue Academy (1st-5th courses) took part in the experiment, who analyzed the dynamics of physical fitness indicators during their studies at the university. The following tests were used to control physical fitness: running at 3000 m and 100 m; shuttle running 10x10 m; complex strength exercise (KSU) and pull-up on a high crossbar.
Research results and conclusions. It was revealed that the indicators of physical fitness of cadets are observed in running at 100 and 3000 m, in pulling up on the crossbar. To a lesser extent, the indicators in shuttle running and KSU are reduced. Upon completion of training at the Academy, 5th‑year cadets have a decrease in physical fitness indicators in running 100 and 3000 m. This dynamics is primarily associated with age-related physiological changes in the cadets' body, which in turn requires correction of the program content of physical training of future industry specialists.
Based on the data obtained, it is proposed to expand the content of physical training curricula for future specialists in the fire and rescue industry by including various forms of circular training, complex strength and sports games, conducting classes in the form of sports training, the systematic use of control starts taking into account age-related physiological changes in the body of students, and also recommend cadets to intensify work on independent physical preparation.
