SPECIAL PHYSICAL FITNESS OF PROFESSIONAL MALE MAS-WRESTLERS

Abstract

Aim. The paper aims to identify the individual characteristics of special physical fitness of professional male mas-wrestlers. Materials and methods. Special physical fitness was evaluated with a dynamometric platform (AMTI). The study involved members of the national Mas-wrestling team of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (n = 7). The data obtained included strength values from a 12-second time period from the beginning of the test. This enabled us to consider strength dynamics and assess special physical fitness in male wrestlers. Results. During the test, maximum strength values were obtained between the 2nd and 7th seconds. Explosive strength was described with the intensity index in the first second of the test. The results obtained ranged from 54.2 % to 77.1% of the individual value of maximum strength. The ability to maintain strength values throughout the test indicates high physical fitness. The endurance index was > 90 % in 2 athletes, ranged from 80 % to 90 % in 2 athletes; and was < 80 % in 3 athletes. Conclusion. The results obtained made it possible to identify the individual characteristics of maximum strength, explosive strength, and physical fitness in mas-wrestlers and were used for the improvement of corresponding training programs.
