IMPLEMENTATION OF HEALTH-PROTECTION TECHNOLOGIES INTO THE PHYSICAL TRAINING SYSTEM OF NAVAL FORCES CADETS

Abstract

Summary. Introduction: The challenges posed by modern warfare, including the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, have emphasized the need for innovative approaches in the training of future naval officers. This article explores the application of health-preserving technologies within the educational environment of the Ukrainian Naval Forces. Such technologies are vital for maintaining physical and psychological readiness, reducing stress, and preventing injuries during service in high-pressure and combat conditions.

Purpose: The study aims to analyze the integration of health-preserving technologies into the training system for future officers of the Ukrainian Naval Forces. The focus is on exploring methodological approaches, practical applications, and innovative solutions that enhance the physical, psychological, and social well-being of cadets, while ensuring their readiness for operational duties.

Methods: The research employs a comprehensive approach, combining theoretical analysis, review of best practices, and examination of current technologies used in military education. Primary sources include academic studies, military guidelines, and case studies on health-preserving technologies within the military context.

Results: The findings highlight the critical role of integrated health-preserving technologies in the training of naval officers. Key components include interval training with virtual and respiratory equipment to improve endurance, wearable devices for real-time health monitoring, and virtual reality simulations for stress management and tactical decision-making. Additionally, telemedicine platforms and rehabilitation technologies, such as advanced exoskeleton systems, support injury prevention and recovery. These measures not only improve physical and psychological resilience but also enhance the overall combat readiness of future naval officers.

Originality: This study provides a novel perspective by focusing on the unique requirements of naval officer training, where health-preserving technologies are tailored to meet the demands of maritime service. Unlike traditional educational applications, these technologies prioritize the development of skills for operating under extreme physical and psychological conditions.

Conclusion: Integrating health-preserving technologies into the educational environment of naval officer training is essential for addressing the demands of modern military service. These technologies enhance endurance, resilience, and adaptive capabilities, ensuring that officers are prepared to perform under stress and in challenging conditions. Further research is recommended to refine these technologies and develop diagnostic tools for assessing health-preserving competencies among cadets.
