Research on the strength and speed components in the specialized training of weightlifters and arm wrestlers of various qualifications

The purpose of the study is to determine the relative contribution of each component of specialized training in martial artists of different qualifications. Research methods and organization. The study involved athletes aged 18-26, ranging from novices to masters of sport. The average group weight of weightlifters was 80.5 kg, while for arm wrestlers it was 75.5 kg. To determine the specific weight of each of the components of the special preparedness of martial artists of varying qualifications, an educational testing procedure was conducted. Three tests assessed the level of strength training of athletes with different qualifications. Each of the three tests was performed twice - with weights and without, from which a coefficient for the strength or speed component was calculated. Research results and conclusions. The results of the study indicated that in weightlifters, as their sporting skill increases, the rate of growth of the strength component of the leg muscles prevails over the growth of the speed component of the arm muscles. In arm wrestlers, as their sporting skill increases, the rates of growth of the speed component of the arm muscles prevail over the growth of the strength component of the leg muscles.
