FEATURES OF DEVELOPMENT OF MOTIVATION TOWARDS PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORTS IN FUTURE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS

Abstract

The modern educational environment is undergoing a conceptual transformation, positioning the student’s personality and their opportunities for continuous self-development and self-improvement as the primary value. The training of future personnel for law enforcement agencies should be focused not only on mastering key professional competencies, but also on the formation of sustainable health-preserving skills. The importance of high-quality physical training is manifested not only in obtaining high marks on final tests, but also in the comprehensive development of all skills and abilities necessary for a successful life. Physical exercises give positive energy, help form willpower, and most importantly – provide future law enforcement officers with inner strength and resilience, which is very important for the high-quality performance of their professional tasks. There is an urgent need to investigate the features of the formation of students’ motives for physical education and sports. Studies of students’ cognitive functions in the context of regular training demonstrate positive dynamics of mental performance indicators. Improvement of mnemonic processes, concentration of attention and speed of information processing correlates with optimization of cerebral hemodynamics and reduction of psychoemotional stress. Considering that regular performance of strength and cardio exercises allows to improve indicators of endurance and strength, establishment of a stable system of internal motivation of students to engage in sports is seen as a key solution for maintaining functional performance in everyday professional life. Physical exercises give positive energy, help form willpower, and most importantly – provide future law enforcement officers with inner strength and resilience, which is very important for the high-quality performance of their professional tasks.
