OBJECTIVE: The aim: Is to investigate the influence of modern sports technologies (Crossfit classes) on health and professional activity of law enforcement officers.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The study involved 52 law enforcement officer graduates from the National Academy of Internal Affairs (Kyiv, Ukraine) aged 22-30 who attended Crossfit classes while studying. The duration of the study is 5 years (2016-2020). The level of officers' health was examined according to the methodology of H. L. Apanasenko which consists in determining the amount of points for each of the 5 indicators: body mass index, vital capacity index, power index, Robinson index, heart rate recovery time. In order to estimate the effectiveness of the officers' law enforcement activity we conducted a survey of the heads and commanders of units where the officers served using the rating card we developed of a five-point scale. Research methods include analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological works, pedagogic observation, questionnaire survey, medical and biological methods and methods of mathematical statistics.
RESULTS: It was also clarified that the health level of the officers who attended Crossfit classes while studying at higher educational institutions with specific training environment remained stable after graduation for 5 years of service (р>0.05). The results of the units commanders' evaluation of the officers' law enforcement activities showed positive influence of Crossfit classes on the indicators that characterize the quality of service.
CONCLUSION: Conclusions: It has been established that Crossfit classes during training helped to maintain the level of health of law enforcement officers during 5 years of service on officers' positions after graduation and provide high efficiency of professional activities.
