摘要：Introduction. The preparation of Polish Air Force cadets for survival in isolation is a necessary element of their training, todemonstrate just how difficult can be the conditions they could encounter in a combat situation.Objective. The aim of the research was to assess the effect of long-term survival training on selected coordination motorskills in Air Force cadets.Materials and method. Fifteen air force cadets aged 19.6±0.3 years exercised for 36 hours during survival training withoutthe possibility to sleep. They were examined 4 times: Day 1 – before effort (training), Day 2 – after 24 hours training, Day 3– directly after 36 hours training, Day 4 – next day, after an all night rest. They were examined for shooting and reactiontime, the ability to maintain body balance, running motor adjustment, handgrip force differentiation, and on Days 1 and 3,exercise capacity was evaluated with a 1 mile walking test.Results. The survival training resulted in significant decreases in maximum handgrip strength, corrected 50% max handgrip,maintenance of body balance and heart rate. No changes occurred in reaction time, running motor adjustment and shootingperformance. Overnight rest did not result in recovery of any of the examined factors to the values observed on Day 1.Conclusion. Survival training combined with sleep deprivation mostly affected peripheral factors depending on strongaction from both muscles and nervous system, whereas complex tasks involving short-term central alertness and moderateexertion were maintained. In order to improve performance, more endurance strength training, if possible combined withsleep deprivation, should be introduced in military training.
