[Ways and means of creating optimal functional conditions for pilot trainees before flight activities]

The purpose of this investigation was to develop means and methods of optimizing the psychophysiological state of cadet-pilots during training and flying activities. As a model of training activities, physical exercise trainings were used and aerobic exercises were given preference. The environment was employed to construct the state of alertness or freedom. During the lessons the cadets were trained to assess and control their health state (the target group). This group consisted of 61 persons: 41 cadets and 20 pilots. The control group included 26 cadets. The results showed that the target group was characterized by a higher level of the nervous function and a constant state of the internal medium and their mental sphere which was the consequence of self-control and fitness. The questionnaires confirmed the objective data about the beneficial effect of the regimen on the regulation of the psychophysiological state and formation of psychophysiological qualities and mechanisms contributing to the successful completion of a flight task.
