RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The aim: To find out the impact of exercise on promotion of health and restoration of mental capacity of instructors of higher educational institutions with specific learning environment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The research was conducted in 2018-2021. Research methods: theoretical analysis of literature sources, documentary method, pedagogical obser¬vation. The theoretical analysis of literature sources and documentary method allowed to clarify the role, place and objectives of physical training in the professional activities of the instructors; the pedagogical observation was used in the analysis of the instructors' professional activities. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: It was found that the instructors' professional activities are influenced by many negative factors: low motor activity, length of working day and week, forced working position, stress, mental overload, stress, lack of time for physical training. These factors result in the appearance of excess weight, dysfunction of major body systems, reduced mental capacity, the emergence of various diseases and labour costs. All this has a negative impact on the learning process of cadets. The direction for improving the physical training of instructors is to increase the amount of general physical training, conducting training sessions with different orientations taking into account age, physical condition, teaching load of instructors, as well as class time. A high level of instructors' general physical fitness will allow to effectively perform training tasks; strengthen their health; maintain a high level of mental capacity for a long time; extend professional longevity.
