Factor structure of the functional state of qualified wrestlers at the stage of special basic training

Abstract

Changing the rules of wrestling competitions leads to an increase in tension and intensity of competitive activity. This requires wrestlers to have a high level of functional fitness. Therefore, monitoring the functional state of qualified wrestlers is necessary for correcting the training process. In article the factor structure of the functional state of qualified wrestlers at the stage of special basic training was considered. The parameters of heart rate variability, mental states and neurodynamics characteristics were studied. Purpose of work to determine the factor structure of the functional state of qualified wrestlers at the stage of specialized basic training. Methodology. The 31 qualified wrestlers, age 14-16 took part in the study. The analysis revealed a relative autonomic balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic parts of the autonomic nervous system in the examined athletes. In addition, qualified wrestlers have an optimal mental state that corresponds to the balance of excitation and inhibition processes and optimization of decision-making processes under time constraints. It was revealed that the structure of the functional state of qualified wrestlers includes complex characteristics that support the main elements of the functional system, ensuring the adaptation of the athletes’ body to the training process. The resulting factor structure indicates two factors: “morphofunctional” and “neurodynamic”. The first factor reflects the level of functional readiness and the level of training of wrestlers. In fact, the first factor is the basis of the formation of the functional state of highly qualified wrestlers, which reflects the main factors of the functional system responsible for the formation of the functional state of wrestlers. The second factor reflects the wrestlers’ ability to optimally perceive and process information from the environment under conditions of physical and neuropsychic stress. Conclusions. Respectively, for optimization of functional state in qualified wrestlers should be considered level of functional fitness and ability of athlete to perception and information processing.
