The complexity and responsibility of tasks facing special units now make high demands on the physical and psychological preparation, and execution of official duties of employees requires extreme mobilization of physical and functional resources of the body. For the training of special forces, we selected the following means of sports tourism: cross-country, ski training, skiing with a load, power gymnastics with elements of rock climbing, general developmental exercises on the ground and in movement (overcoming natural and artificial obstacles), orienteering, applied swimming, technical training, exercises to develop coordination abilities (on balance, on the orientation in space, on the kinesthetic differentiation). All of these types of activities have contributed to better development of the physical qualities of the special forces.
