Background. Physical progress of police officers is ranked among the top priority human resource management policies pursued by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA). Regional MIA offices run their own personnel physical education courses on a permanent basis as required by the relevant MIA regulations to master and excel necessary combat fighting skills and professionally valuable physical qualities as long as the personnel is in active service [2, 10]. TATI RMIA offers yearly advanced training courses to groups of the relevant police officers.

In actual educational process the trainers may face a variety of problems due to the trainees’ primary physical fitness rates, backgrounds and professional experiences being too widely different. This was the reason for the TATI RMIA faculty to develop an individualized physical training model for the police officers in charge of the personnel physical training service in the MIA service system [1-3, 6, 8, 9].

Objective of the study was to develop an individualized physical training model for the police officers in charge of the personnel physical training service in the MIA service system.

Methods and structure of the study. Physical qualities and fitness of the police officers under the study were rated by the following standard tests as provided by the valid MIA regulations: 10x10m shuttle run test; push-ups test; and pull-ups on a horizontal bar test. The study was performed at Tyumen Institute for Advanced Training of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (TATI RMIA) and Physical Culture Institute of Tyumen State University in the period of 2015-2017.  Subject to the study were the police officers (n=64) trained at Tyumen Advanced Training Institute on the advanced education courses to qualify for the Training Unit Leader/ Assistant Leader in the Professional Service and Physical Education Systems. The study was designed in three stages. At stage 1, we developed the training methodologies, selected progress tests and developed the individualized physical training models. At stage 2, we run an educational experiment with 24 males classified with the age group 1 (under 25 years old) trained at the Institute in 2017 being subject to the experiment. The sample was broken up into an Experimental and Reference Groups (EG and RG) of 12 people each, with the EG trained under the individualized physical training models. Each model was customized as required by the primary physical fitness test rates. At stage 3, we analyzed the experimental data, summarized it and made conclusions.

Study results and discussion. To assess benefits of the new individualized physical training models, we tested the trainees’ physical fitness prior to and after the experiment. Given hereunder in Tables 1 and 2 are the physical fitness test rates of both groups.

Table 1. Pre-experimental physical fitness test rates

Table 2. Post-experimental physical fitness test rates

Figure 1. 10x10m shuttle run test rates, s

Figure 1 clearly demonstrates progress of the EG versus RG as verified by the pre- and post-experimental 10x10m shuttle run test rates, with the EG progress being better by 4.3%.

Figure 2. Push-ups test, reps

Figure 2 demonstrates progress of the EG versus RG in the pre- and post-experimental prone push-ups test rates, with the EG progress being better by 8%.

Figure 3. Pull-ups on horizontal bar test, reps

Figure 3 clearly demonstrates progress of the EG versus RG in the pre- and post-experimental pull-ups on horizontal bar test rates, with the EG progress being better by 15%.

On the whole, Figures 1-3 show the primary (pre-experimental) physical fitness test rates in both of the groups being virtually the same. As a result of the new individualized physical training model piloting experiment, the EG made progress of 9% on average versus the RG. We believe that this effect was fully due to the new individualized physical training models applied in the EG trainings under the standard advanced training course. Therefore, the new individualized physical training models have proved highly beneficial for the relevant police personnel physical fitness improvement course.

Conclusion. The study data and analyses demonstrate high benefits of the new individualized physical training model for the police officers in charge of the personnel physical training service in the MIA service system. Further progress of the individualized physical training model will secure high quality of the advanced physical education service to this category of police personnel.
