In the thesis paper, the methodology for developing the power qualities of the cadets of higher military education institutions by means of armsport in the course of physical education is developed, theoretically substantiated and its efficiency is experimentally checked. The relevance of the thesis research is conditioned by the long-term participation of the servicemen of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in hostilities in the East of our country and international peacekeeping operations, which places high demands on the physical fitness level of cadets – future officers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces; by a sharp decline in the level of health, physical development, and physical fitness of Ukrainian school graduates – applicants to higher military education institutions; by high popularity of power sports among the cadets of higher military education institutions. Armsport contribute to the effective development of power qualities of cadets, improve their physical development and health, form a positive motivation for regular exercises, develop moral and volitional qualities, and improve the psycho-emotional state. However, the introduction of armsport as a means of physical education of cadets in the educational process is insufficiently studied, which emphasizes the relevance of the research on the thesis subject.
The first chapter "Theoretical and methodical principles of the development of power qualities of the cadets of higher military education institutions by means of armsport in the process of physical education" reveals the specialties of the physical education process of cadets at higher military education institutions, presents theoretical and methodical bases of the development of power qualities of the cadets, characterizes armsport as a means of the development of power qualities of the cadets. The second chapter "The scientific and theoretical substantiation and development of the methodology for developing power qualities of the cadets of higher military education institutions by means of armsport in the process of physical education" lists and reveals research methods and presents the order of the research organization, the results of the research on the motivational and value-based attitude of cadets to armsport in the process of physical education, the level and dynamics of the cadets’ physical fitness in armsport classes; shows the comparative characteristic of the power qualities of the cadets of various sports specializations and the results of the analysis of the physical development, functional capabilities, health and psycho-emotional state of cadets in the process of armsport classes; substantiate the methodology for developing power qualities of the cadets of higher military education institutions by means of armsport in the process of physical education. The third chapter "Checking the efficiency of the methodology for developing power qualities of the cadets of higher military education institutions by means of armsport in the process of physical education" defines and substantiates the criteria for assessing the academic achievements of cadets during armsport training in the process of physical education and presents the results of testing the efficiency of the methodology for developing the power qualities of the cadets by means of armsport.
The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the development and experimental testing of the methodology for the developing power qualities of the cadets by means of armsport in the process of physical education. The methodology for developing power qualities of cadets by means of armsport in the process of physical education is introduced into the physical education process of the cadets of three higher military education institutions and two higher education institutions with specific training conditions. Theoretical and methodical provisions and practical results of the study can be used at higher military education institutions for teaching the discipline of Physical Education, Special Physical Training, as well as for the training of military specialists in physical education and sports. The developed methodology can be adapted to the physical education process of the cadets of higher education institutions of law enforcement, rescue, and other special services of Ukraine, as well as the students of civilian educational institutions.
