Abstract

This article examines the integration of attacking and counterattacking actions and the development of the physical capacities of skilled freestyle wrestlers aimed at improving the effectiveness of their competitive performance. A methodology for the optimal distribution of training loads among general physical, special physical, and technical-tactical training components within the annual training cycle was developed and experimentally validated. The results of the pedagogical experiment demonstrated that the athletes of the experimental group, who trained according to the proposed optimized model, achieved statistically significantly higher outcomes in the control tests compared with the control group (p < 0.05). The most pronounced improvements were observed in the speed of executing specialized technical actions and in the dynamics of physical fitness development, with performance gains reaching up to 80%. The findings indicate that scientifically based management of training loads contributes substantially to the enhancement of sporting excellence and competitive effectiveness among highly qualified freestyle wrestlers.
