The methodology of developing speed and strength abilities in boys aged 10-12 who are engaged in Greco-Roman wrestling

In scientific and methodological sources devoted to wrestling, much attention is paid to the problem of organizing an effective training process. However, research results often present scattered data on the individual characteristics of wrestlers and do not provide a complete picture of training in this sport. This is due to the fact that an important role in wrestling is played not by any one quality of an athlete, but by a complex of various qualities that interact with each other. The issue of improving speed and strength qualities is widely studied in various types of martial arts. It is especially important to develop scientifically based approaches to speed and strength training of high-level athletes in modern wrestling. This study presents the methodology we have developed for developing speed and strength qualities in young wrestlers and evaluating its effectiveness. For this purpose, tests for pedagogical testing were developed, which made it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology. Testing was conducted before and after the experiment, which lasted 8 weeks. Pedagogical testing of speed and strength training of boys 10-12 years old engaged in Greco-Roman wrestling included the following exercises: ● standing long jump (cm); ● high jump from a standing position (cm); ● triple jump (m); ● pull-up on the crossbar in 20 seconds (number of times); ● flexion and extension of the arms in the prone position in 20 seconds (number of times); ● lifting the torso while lying on your back in 20 seconds (number of times).
