Influence of a special training process on the psychomotor skills of cadet pilots

Purpose: The subject of this article is related to the work-activity in the air environment. The aim of the study was to check the effectiveness of the training process based on devices, which using require special biomechanical muscle work. In the research was check the influence of the training process on the Special Aviation Gymnastics Instruments (SAGI) on the improvement of the psychomotor skills, expressed as an increase in the percentage of ability to perform all tasks and the number of reels on a loop.MethodsCadets - second year pilots, studying at the faculty of a pilot. Cadets were carrying out a special pilot training program on SAGI. They were subjected to two exercise tests (reels forward on looping), before and after the period of special training. Exercise tests were performed with the use of a diagnostic and training device used to assess psychomotor skills. During two tests, heart rate (HR) and blood pressure were measured.ResultsThere was a statistically significant increase in the percentage of ability to perform all tasks (p<0.01) and a statistically insignificant increase in the number of reels forward on looping, in test II in relation to test I. In test II, a statistically insignificant higher level of heart rate and blood pressure before and after the effort was noted, compared to test I.ConclusionsIt was found that the training process on SAGI increased the psychomotority level by increasing the percentage of ability to perform all tasks and the number of reels, in test II in relation to test I.
