The problem of increasing the level of working capacity among students is still relevant at the present time. The solution of this problem at the present stage is complicated by the low level of health, physical fitness and bad habits. Physical education classes in higher educational institutions provide only 30-40% of the volume of necessary motor activity. Although physical culture and sports are one of the effective means of improving the efficiency of future police officers. In this regard, the aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of athletics in the educational process of cadets to improve the level of performance. The 2nd year cadets took part in the study. The study was conducted for 4 months. To organize the experiment, a control (45 people) and an experimental (48 people) group were identified. The cadets of the control group were engaged in the work program of the discipline "Physical Culture". In the experimental group, systematic classes with cross-country training and elements of athletics during self-training were offered. The use of the experimental technique allowed to improve the results in test tasks evaluating physical and mental performance. Regular athletics classes made it possible to increase functional fitness, physical fitness, ensure successful concentration and distribution of attention, as well as improve the ability of cadets to process information. The test results have positive dynamics, characterizing the growth of physical and mental performance in young people. In this example, the means of athletics were used. It is obvious that the use of funds from other cyclical sports will also have a positive impact on the level of performance
