Criteria for assessing the physical readiness of patrol police officers to perform the activities.

Abstract

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the patrol police officers’ activities and substantiates the requirements for their physical readiness. The unfavorable factors of their activities which lead to the deterioration of the physical fitness level of patrol police officers are characterized. It is determined that the existing criteria for assessing the physical readiness level of patrol police officers do not fully take into account the specifics of their activities. According to the research conducted, we identified indicators and criteria that characterize the level of the physical readiness of patrol police officers: general physical fitness, static endurance of core muscles, and development level of the skills in the self-defense tactics.
