ASSESSMENT OF RAPID DYNAMIC STRENGTH INDICATORS USED BY SKILLED WRESTLERS TO PUSH AN “OPPONENT” DOWN AND LIFT THEM UP USING AN ELECTRONIC MEASURING TRIANGLE

Abstract

This article presents findings from a three-month experiment evaluating the development rate of strength types (maximum and explosive strength) associated with lifting an “opponent” (the simulator frame) upward and pressing them downward in skilled belt wrestlers, using an electronic training device that provides real-time feedback. The study revealed that the stronger the downward pressing force applied to the opponent, the more intensive the upward lifting force can be. It was also found that these types of strength showed rapid improvement in the experimental group (EG), which regularly practiced experimentally designed exercises throughout the training period.
