Physical Training of Employees of the Internal Affairs as an Integral Part of Professional Readiness for Action in an Emergency

The purpose of this research is to study the influence of physical conditioning of employees of internal affairs bodies on the quality of their work, the specifics of the training of law enforcement officials, as well as the importance of physical training when working in an extreme situation. It has been established that in the course of service and performance of professional duty, each employee risks his life, because situations that threaten his health and life can arise very unexpectedly and spontaneously. Not a single person is protected from such a risk, and it is not always possible to predict the occurrence of danger. In such a situation, the only thing an employee can rely on is only his own reaction, speed of thinking, and the physical conditioning of his body and his ability to take heavy loads. Any employee who once found himself in an emergency or extreme situation characterized by increased danger remembers what he had to experience: all feelings are aggravated, and a large amount of adrenaline is released in the blood, which helps to increase the efficiency of the body. But it also has a negative effect on the heart, brain and other organs of a person, from which it should be concluded that an unprepared body may not be able to withstand such loads. The success of the professional activities of law enforcement officers depends on the level of development of the relevant professionally important qualities and the willingness to apply them. In this context, readiness for action is expressed in the organization and actualization of the specific resources available to the employee necessary to perform a certain type of professional activity. The employees, who find themselves in an extreme situation, note the importance of such qualities as dexterity, speed, general and strength endurance, emotional endurance, and coordination abilities. Therefore, the task of physical training is the formation and improvement of these qualities.
