Abstract
The article discusses the features of physical training of athletes specializing in Greco-Roman wrestling. The key indicators influencing the effectiveness of the training process are highlighted, including the development of endurance, flexibility, speed and strength abilities. The use of the proposed tests made it possible to estimate the level of development of the physical qualities of the subjects. The following tests were used in the study: running for 100 meters, bending and stretching arms while lying down, pull-ups in a horizontal position on a crossbar, lifting the body from the position of lying on the back, as well as a long jump from a place using the «bent legs» method. In order to identify the level of development of special physical abilities, it is advisable to use exercises of the mandatory technical program of wrestlers: standing up on the bridge from the starting position, leaving the bridge to the side and returning to the starting position (5 times); running on the bridge – 5 to the right, 5 to the left and 15 to the right, 15 to the left; turns on the bridge (15 times). The results of the study can be used by coaches and specialists in the field of sports training to optimize training programs.
