INVESTIGATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PSYCHOSPHICAL CAPABILITIES OF THE CADETS DURING THEIR STUDIES AT NATIONAL MILITARY UNIVERSITY “VASIL LEVSKI”

Summary/Abstract: The use of the latest military equipment places exceptional demands on the moral and volitional qualities of the soldiers, whose high level of psychophysical development is an important factor for increasing the combat capability of the troops. The experience of the combat training of the troops and the results of the scientific researches testify to a significant increase of the specific motor qualities and complication of the requirements, which are presented today to the soldiers. Their actions in combat training defined as physical efforts of a dynamic and static nature, which are performed with moderate intensity.According to the National Defense Strategy of the Republic of Bulgaria, the soldiers of the Bulgarian army must be well prepared to perform tasks related to: Protection of the country's borders and airspace; Protection of the country in armed conflict; Participation in multinational crisis response operations; Participation in operations to detain terrorist and criminal groups; Rescue and evacuation actions.The implementation of these tasks requires high combat and physical training, maximum development of basic motor skills, which are the basis for improving the specific knowledge and skills needed to perform the tasks. This implies optimizing the physical training of soldiers, for maximum development of their motor skills, speed, strength, endurance, agility and flexibility.The purpose of the physical education training process with cadets from National Military University “Vasil Levski” is to develop basic motor qualities (strength, speed, agility and endurance), specific motor qualities (strength and speed endurance, tempo speed, etc.) and practical habits for organizing and conducting various forms of sports training.In this study participated 68 second-year cadets from National Military University “Vasil Levski”, who conditionally divided into two groups of men (50 people) and women (18 people).The aim of the experiment was to study the changes in the state of the psychophysical abilities of the cadets during the second, third and fourth year of their education and to establish the effectiveness of the Physical Education Program at the National Military University.In the period from August 2016 to September 2019, an experimental study conducted, which divided into 3 main stages:1)First stage - from the beginning of August 2016 to the end of August 2016.The second-year cadets conditionally divided into two groups - men and women, after which the initial data were taken, giving us information about the current state of their psychophysical abilities.2)Second stage - from September 2016 to June 2019.The students from the two groups conducted their physical training classes together, according to the current Program at Vasil Levski National Military University.3)Third stage - from July 2019 to September 2019.The final data were taken, which inform us about the current state of their psychophysical capabilities. They summarized and prepared for processing and analysis.
