Summary Observing the development of physical training classes of the Army throughout history, from the Army of the Principality of Serbia to the Serbian Armed Forces of today, it can be said that, in addition to other program segments, gymnastics was the fundamental factor of physical exercise in the overall process of practical and military training. This development was accompanied by frequent changes in the realization of physical training (program contents, number of hours, methodical procedure, etc.), which again depended on the needs of the army, in other words, on the objective of the training - which was aimed at achieving optimal physical abilities for the performance of military duties in all circumstances. The first written facts about the use of gymnastics in the Army of the Principality of Serbia originate from the period of the founding of the Artillery School (in 1850, a predecessor of the Military Academy), where the basis of physical training consisted of the following contents: fighting, gymnastics, swimming, fencing and riding. A little later, in 1867, within the physical training, gymnastic exercises were performed and were the forerunners of today's morning workout, which is even today an integral part of the training of members of the Army of Serbia. The problem of this research work relates to the implementation of the development of gymnastics in the process of training from the Army of the Principality of Serbia to the Serbian Army.The aim of this paper is to indicate the permanent implementation of the contents of gymnastics in the educational process of military structures as well as temporary changes according to the specific requirements of the upgrading of military and professional-specialized skills of military personnel in view of research of relevant materials and data collected. A historical method was used in this study. Research results show the importance and role of gymnastics as a basis of physical exercise for the improvement of the physical abilities of soldiers as the basic element of combat readiness.

Specific Content

The article discusses the use of the system approach of future officers training in higher military educational institutions, analyzes the basic principles of the pedagogical system, which are defined by the system as a holistic organized set of military training, which ensures stable behavior and effective results of military education. The basic systems of professional training in higher military educational institutions, which have the conditional level of involvement in the educational process, are revealed. However, the basis is the inalienability of all systems in the training of future officers of the Armed Forces, and the interchangeability or absence of any training system leads to irreparable consequences, the result of which is not fully formed professional readiness of an officer of the Armed Forces. Theoretically, professional readiness is formed as knowledge, skills and competencies fully acquired, but the important point remains whether psychological professional readiness is formed during the extreme situation of military service. In view of the material presented in the scientific article, the conclusion is that the training of officers of the Armed Forces in higher military educational institutions is a system one. The result of the training process of future officers in higher military educational institutions is a high level of cadets readiness for practical activities, which can be achieved only by streamlining the system on the basis of certain principles to which we include: the principle of objectivity, completeness, specific historical (genetic) approach, systematics, contradictions of pedagogical experience. This makes it possible to organize the specific functioning of all subsystems of future officers training and their effective interaction in accordance with the aspect and general goals and objectives. When modeling the system approach of professional training in higher military educational institutions the main pedagogical systems (types of training) involved in the training of officers of the Armed Forces are used. Each of them has its purpose and objectives, specific content, means and methods. Because the professional training of future officers of the Armed Forces is an integration process of formation of the same five basic systems (theoretical, psychological, physical, training and practical (officer training in combat units)).

Civilian Education

It is critical to understand that any pedagogical system should be effective and efficient to involve a set of interrelated elements and processes necessary to positively affect students’ performance and outcomes as well as favor their personal self-establishment. There has been considerable interest in adapting military training packages for application in civilian education and training institutions. The rapid changes in technology, tactics, and missions that are characteristic of today’s military operations require matching agility in the design and development of training and education system. These changes must be made quickly and efficiently. In this context, it is worthwhile to consider all favorable conditions for designing a pedagogical system as the integrity of the educational process. Accordingly, it is necessary to achieve the harmonious interaction of all its elements both horizontally (within the period of training, the semester or the academic year), and vertically – for all time training with reserve officers’ training packages. Respectively, changing one element of the teaching system will involve the others. Noteworthy, this is exemplified in the gradual improvement of the teaching and learning process, including the syllabi, approaches and assessments. The authors believe that it is critical to enable a more systematic approach to educate future officers at HEI with approaches to systematization of the process of military training of students/civilians according to the syllabus of reserve officers’ training in military institutions of higher education (HEI) and military training units of institutions of higher education (ROTC of HEI). The scientific and methodological analysis, conducted at the philosophical, scientific and professional levels proved the feasibility of developing a purposeful and powerful integrative pedagogical system for future reserve officers’ preparedness for military-related activities. It accentuates the realization that although students/civilians are learning mainly for the purpose of serving the Ukraine Armed Forces, they are also a part of the Ukrainian society. In this respect, they need to be given the experience as cadets and regular citizens. This can be obtained from the learning environment at the HEI; the academics and supporting staff and the rapport built between them and the academics and military instructors. What is more, a balance of learning theories of behaviorism and constructivism that allows the graduates to develop as followers and eventually leaders.

Research  back  ground  and  hypothesis.  There  is  a  basic  military  training  course  (BMT)  carried  out  in  the Lithuanian Armed Forces. The aim of this course is to train soldiers for military service that they were able to perform individual tasks and acquire basic military preparation. There is a lack of research dealing with the effect of physical training programmes in military training courses on the changes in soldiers’ physical fitness. We hypothesize that in the course of military training physical fitness of would-be soldiers improves.Research aim was to analyse the structure and content of the BMT programme and the effect of its implementation on the changes in physical fitness for would-be soldiers.Research methods: literature review, analysis of military physical training programmes, physical fitness testing.Research results. During the first testing only 26.8% of would-be soldiers achieved the standards of physical fitness complex test, and during the second testing the standards of the complex test of physical fitness were achieved by 89.5% of service people. In the period of the course VO 2 max and Roufier index improved (p  < 0.001). Indices of physical fitness and functional capacity improved more in the first half of the course. At the end of the course the results of adapted military physical fitness of service people were worse compared to the results of their general physical fitness.Discussion and conclusions. The program of general physical training was effective, but more attention should be paid to the improvement of adapted military physical fitness programme aiming at better results.

In the scientific article the training of future officers for professional activity in military lyceums is considered as not only theoretical but also practical component, because without the theoretical component in combination with practice it is impossible to orient properly in the educational process of higher military educational institutions and military training units of higher educational institutions during the training of tactical level officers and the assessment of training final results. The training of future officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for professional activity in military lyceum is considered and scientifically substantiated both as a purpose and as a result of professional training. Since the main purpose of any higher military educational institution is to prepare the graduates for professional activity, the main guideline and basis for solving the problems of training of future officers for professional activity should undoubtedly be the essence of this activity, which reflects the set of its deep connections, relations and internal laws. The detailed analysis of the scientific works provided grounds to substantiate the author's determination of training of future officers of the Armed Forces for professional activity in military lyceum, which provides the formation of a holistic personal education as a result of special professional and psychological-pedagogical professional training, which ensures the transition to a qualitatively new form of activity for the cadet as a future officer of the Armed Forces and it is a set of interdependent and interconnected components: motivational-value, cognitive and reflexive. The criterias of readiness for professional activity of an officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as an important and defining feature that characterizes various qualitative aspects, essences and specifics of professional activity of a serviceman are evaluated. The professional activity of an officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in a military lyceum is characterized by a high degree of social responsibility, conservatism of values and clear regulation of the conditions for its implementation. In the professional environment of the military lyceum, the role of socially conditioned characteristics and conditions of activity of both faculty that includes officers of the Armed Forces, and pupils (lyceum students) is significantly increasing. It follows that mastering the profession of an officer of the Armed Forces is not only the ability to effectively perform duties, but also the adoption of the appropriate lifestyle, way of thinking, system of norms and values by a future officer.
