PHYSIOLOGICAL LOAD INTENSITY ADJUSTED FOR INDIVIDUAL PROFILE AND MODEL FITNESS CHARACTERISTICS IN BELT WRESTLING TRAINING

Abstract

Aim. This study aims to evaluate the practical applicability of physiological load intensity, adjusted for the individual profile and model characteristics of physical preparedness in belt wrestlers. Materials and methods. This paper employs control tests to assess speed (60-m run), speed-strength (standing long jump), strength (dead-hang pull-up, push-ups), flexibility (standing forward bend), and endurance (3000-m run) in belt wrestlers. The study protocol also included an incremental cycle ergometer test and early design and modeling of general physical fitness profiles for belt wrestlers. The experimental part was conducted from September to December 2023 at sports schools in the Republic of Tatarstan and the Udmurt Republic (Russia). The study involved highly qualified belt wrestlers (1^st-3^rd-year students) after the end of the competitive season. A total of 32 physical indicators were obtained from males aged 17–22 years. Results. The difference between individual fitness profiles of wrestlers and their model values allows for the identification and correction of deficiencies in the selection of training means, as well as for adjust­ting the ratio of volume and intensity of physical loads. Conclusion. The selection of training means requires the development of complex training sessions that solve several tasks and take into account the strengths and weaknesses of athletes’ physical fitness.
