PHYSICAL AND MENTAL PREPARATION OF WRESTLERS

Abstract

This article examines the issues of physical and mental (psychological) preparation of wrestlers. The content and importance of theoretical preparation, the means of general and special physical preparation for wrestlers, the rules for their selection and application, as well as the role of mental preparation in sports performance are analyzed.

The results of the study show that achieving high sports mastery by wrestlers depends on the harmonious development of physical preparation (strength, speed, agility, endurance), theoretical knowledge (history, rules, technique and tactics of wrestling) and mental (volitional) qualities. The necessity of considering theoretical preparation as a separate and important section of the training process and integrating it with physical, technical and tactical preparation is emphasized.

The article provides practical recommendations on the selection of exercises for wrestlers, which will help coaches and sports pedagogues to organize the process of preparing wrestlers more effectively.
