ENHANCING LAW ENFORCEMENT CADETS’ FUNCTIONAL READINESS THROUGH COMBAT SAMBO TRAINING

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of combat sambo training on the functional readiness of law enforcement cadets. Thirty cadets participated in a 12-week structured combat sambo program designed to improve physical fitness, tactical skills, and operational performance. Results indicate significant improvements in endurance, strength, agility, speed, tactical decision-making, and stress resilience in the experimental group compared to controls. These findings highlight combat sambo as an effective tool for preparing cadets for real-world operational challenges.
