The article presents a comparative analysis of the formation of professional competence of future emergency response specialists in the context of physical training. The relevance of the study is determined by the transformation of the professional training system for civil protection specialists under conditions of increased operational risks, martial law, and the need to harmonize national educational standards with European approaches to professional education and safety training. The purpose of the article is to analyze the role and place of physical training in the structure of professional competence of future emergency response specialists and to identify existing imbalances in its organization within higher education institutions of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in comparison with other security and defense sector institutions. The research is based on the analysis of scientific sources, regulatory and educational documents, curricula, and working programs of physical training disciplines, as well as on comparative and structural-functional analysis methods. The study examines the distribution, continuity, and content of physical training in educational programs for civil protection specialists and compares them with analogous training systems used in the National Police, National Guard, and State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. The results of the study indicate a significant reduction in the volume and continuity of physical training in higher education institutions of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine. In contrast to other security institutions, where physical training is implemented throughout the entire period of study and includes both practical and theoretical components, the existing system for future emergency response specialists is limited mainly to the initial stages of training. This leads to insufficient development of physical endurance, strength, coordination, and psychophysiological stability, which are essential components of professional competence in emergency response activities. The article substantiates the necessity of improving the management of professional competence formation through the integration of physical, psychological, and cognitive components of training, the application of innovative and competitive training methods, and the introduction of continuous physical training throughout all stages of higher education. The findings can be used to improve educational programs, optimize training curricula, and develop regulatory documents aimed at enhancing the physical readiness and professional reliability of emergency response specialists.
