CHANGING THE HEALTH OF OFFICERS AND WAYS TO IMPROVE IT

In the past few decades, in our country in all spheres of life there have been great changes. The Armed Forces also affected these changes, in which reform began in 2008 on optimizing the size of the RF Armed Forces, developing the social sphere, training personnel, equipping troops with new military equipment, and increasing the intensity of combat training. The psychoemotional burden on officers has especially increased. The picture of the primary incidence of officers in the period before the reform from 2003 to 2008 and during the reform period from 2008 to 2019. for 19 classes it looks quite stable. With an increase in the indicator during the period of reduction of the officer corps after 2008 and an increase in the intensity of military service, the primary incidence of officers increased by 20-30%, and then stabilized at 440-560 ‰. Thus, a systemic shift in the system of medical support for officers, coupled with the intensification of everyday activities, reduced the health status of officers. The triad: obesity, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis and the associated hypertension and dorsopathy are clearly visible. In this situation, it seems logical to return to the state of affairs when the medical and preventive measures taken by the military medical service allowed the officers to remain healthy for a long time. Based on the current situation, when officers who have received chronic illnesses are forbidden to do regular physical training, just like medical specialists in the troops are forbidden to carry out physical therapy according to new standards, this category of officers can independently engage in hygienic gymnastics, health training, perform exercises from the yoga system to promote health. Officers with limited health can perform this physical activity in the sports halls of military units under the guidance of the chiefs of physical training of the units and under the control of their health by military doctors: monitoring health status is not only forbidden for military medical specialists, but it is their direct responsibility.
