The actual scientific and applied tasks of the dissertation work are: the leveling by means of special physical preparation of the negative influence of military professional activity adverse factors on the physical condition of specialists, increasing the level of professional ability of servicemen-operators in the combat duty cycle and ensuring their professional longevity. The main results consist in the scientific substantiation of the priority physical training means and the development of a special physical training program of the Ukraine Air Forces contract service servicemen-operators in order to promote the effectiveness of carrying out the combat duty. The changes of the physical conditions and state of health of specialists in the cycle of combat duty were studied and the components of the servicemen-operators integral assessment of professional ability were determined. On the basis of the conducted research, the using of an integral assessment of professional ability to predict the success of military-professional activity of servicemen-operators in the combat duty cycle is proposed. It is determined that the military-professional activity of the Air Force operators in the combat duty cycle is accompanied by the adverse factors influence, which include: hypodynamia, hypokinesia, violation of the natural rhythm of daily activity, factors of the closed space (changed gas composition of air, artificial lighting), sensory deprivation. Their negative influence is reflected in overdrive, deterioration of the functional systems state of a person, reducing the overall level of specialists professional ability and reducing the military-professional activities success. The changes of physical preparedness, physical condition and state of health of specialists in the combat duty cycle are investigated. A statistically significant deterioration was found of: the physical quality speed at 1,2% (p <0,001), agility at 1,8% (p <0,001), endurance at 2,4% (p <0,001), index of physical development by 14,3% (p <0.001), the index of physical condition by 5.5% (p <0.001) and the assessment of the physical health level by 24.1% (p <0.001) of servicemen, which is the result of the negative influence of the hypo dynamic regime, the adverse factors of the military-professional activity and accumulation of fatigue. It was found that the most informative professional ability to work indirect indexes of Ukrainian Air Forces servicemen-operators are: physical condition, psychoemotional condition, physical ability to work, aerobic endurance, back and neck muscles static endurance, press muscles static endurance, information perception speed, short-term (operational) memory, concentration of attention. The correlation dependence of the military servicemen-operator professional readiness from the professional ability to work indirect indexes was determined: physical condition (r=0,58), psychoemotional condition (r=0,51), physical ability to work (r=0,34), aerobic endurance (r=0,59), back and neck muscles static endurance (r=0,52), press muscles static endurance (r=0,48), information perceptions speed (r=0,44), short-term (operational) memory (r=0,40), concentration of attention (r=0,46). To solve the tasks of the dissertation, a program of special physical training of servicemen-operator in the combat duty cycle was created, consisting of four monocycles, each of which has its purpose, tasks and corresponding forms and means of physical training. The created program of special physical training of servicemen-operator in the combat duty cycle managed not only to fill the activity deficit, to develop the necessary physical qualities, but also to ensure the maintenance of the necessary level of professional ability in the conditions of 24-hour combat duty, to accept the preservation of health and the lengthening of professional longevity of specialists. The effectiveness of the program of special physical training in the combat duty cycle for three years is confirmed by improvement: physical development by 11.7% (p <0.05), physical condition index by 5.4% (p <0.05), physical health level by 25.6% (p <0.05), and assessment professional preparedness by 1.6% (p <0.05) of servicemen-operators of the experimental group in relation to the control representatives. The results of the conducted research made it possible to plan more effectively and organize the process of contract servicemen special training who perform duties in a 24-hour duty by schedule and can be used to optimize the special training of specialists of other military specialties of the Air Force. Scientific novelty of the received results. for the first time: - there were received the results of the dependence of the military-professional activity of Air Forces contract servicemen-service operators in the combat duty cycle from the functional systems state of their organism, from the level of physical and psycho-physiological qualities; - there were determined the informative indexes that became the components of the integrated assessment of the professional ability of Air Forces servicemen-operators in the combat duty cycle: physical condition, psycho emotional condition, physical working ability, aerobic endurance, static endurance of the muscles of the back, neck and the press, speed of information perception, short-term memory, concentration of attention; - it was scientifically substantiated and formed the optimal special physical training program of Air Forces servicemen-operators in the combat duty cycle; - there were obtained data on the peculiarities of the using priority means of physical training for the formation and maintenance of special physical qualities that promote professionally important qualities development in servicemen-operators in the performance of service and combat functions for the purpose. Practical value of the received results. Practical using of the program of special physical training, which contributes to maintain the acquired level of professional ability and professional preparedness, preserving and improving the health status of servicemen-operators of the service under the contract of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the cycle of combat duty. Application of an integrated assessment of professional ability of servicemen-operators in the combat duty cycle to predict the success of its military-professional activities.
