Materials and Methods: The research was conducted in 2019-2022. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literary sources, pedagogical observation, programming, modeling. 140 instructor officers (men) of different age groups were involved in the research. Results: On the basis of the analysis of literary sources, the study of the practical experience of instructional activities, we substantiated the authors’ program of recreational and health-promoting training sessions with the instructor officers, the essence of which is to increase the amount of motor activity of the instructional staff through the use of simple and available means of general physical training, taking into account instructors’ age, their state of health, the focus of the training sessions and the time of the training sessions during the day. Conclusions: As a result of the implementation of the authors’ program in the educational process, changes were made to the organization of physical training of the instructional staff, which provide for conducting training sessions according to a “flexible” schedule depending on the academic load of instructors; the ratio of the volumes of general and special physical training has been changed, which provides for an increase in the specific weight of general physical training; recreational and health-promoting training sessions have been introduced, depending on the time of the training session during the working day.
