EFFECTS OF STRENGTH-ENDURANCE–ORIENTED TRAINING PROGRAMS ON COMPETITIVE PERFORMANCE IN SPORT WRESTLING

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of strength-endurance–oriented training programs on competitive performance in sport wrestling. The increasing intensity and duration of modern wrestling matches require athletes to demonstrate high levels of strength endurance to maintain technical effectiveness throughout competition. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact of a specially designed training technology aimed at developing strength endurance on key indicators of competitive performance. The study involved qualified wrestlers who participated in a structured training program over a defined experimental period. Strength-endurance development was achieved through sport-specific exercises, circuit training, and interval-based workloads integrated into the regular training process. Performance indicators were assessed using physical fitness tests and competitive activity analysis conducted before and after the intervention. The results demonstrated statistically significant improvements in strength-endurance parameters, as well as enhanced competitive performance, including increased technical efficiency and match activity. The findings confirm that the implementation of strength-endurance–oriented training programs contributes to improved competitive effectiveness in sport wrestling. The study highlights the practical value of the proposed training technology for coaches and athletes seeking to optimize performance outcomes.
