The health-improving role of sport based on the example of Georgian wrestlers' achievements at international sporting events

In the modern world, observing sports, particularly wrestling, from both a physical and a scientific-medical perspective, is of paramount importance. The trends and dynamics of this sport develop over time and change over the years and, as it turns out, it is positively correlated with improvements in mass health levels. This article is based on the analysis method developed by the United World Wrestling Organization (Performance Data Analysis – PDA), which allows us to study the current global trends in wrestling, technical and tactical characteristics by weight category, evaluate the performance of Georgian athletes in important international competitions, and draw appropriate conclusions. The paper analyzes statistical data, important facts, and the performance of Georgian wrestlers in major competitions held in 2021, including the Olympic Games, World and European Championships.
