Abstract:
The article, based on a theoretical analysis of works concerning gender aspects in various professional fields, addresses the issue of accelerating the initial adaptation of women who have chosen the profession of a military pilot. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the importance of conducting scientific research focused on regulating the physical activity of female cadets during the initial adaptation to life at a military aviation pilot school as a factor contributing to the successful mastery of the profession of a military pilot.

Based on the results of analytical studies, the need to address the issue of accelerating the adaptation of female cadets to life in a military aviation pilot school has been substantiated through: increasing the significance of the female human resource within the military environment, establishing trends for the necessity of gender-neutral requirements in the implementation of the military pilot profession; recognizing the acute need for continuous monitoring of the psychomotor and psychophysiological conditions of female cadets, future military pilots, and comparing this data with the normative requirements of the military pilot profession; the scientific justification of the regulation of physical activity, ensuring optimal functional fitness of the female cadets' bodies, maintaining the required level of physical and intellectual performance, developing applied motor skills and abilities that facilitate the effective mastering of flight training educational programs, and creating conditions for their social adaptation; the theoretical substantiation of the content and direction of physical activity regimes for female cadets at the initial stage of their life in a military aviation school, and the experimental verification of the effectiveness of mastering the main educational programs.
