A System of Technical and Tactical Training for High-Class Athletes in Freestyle Wrestling Based on Combination Actions

The current problem of overcoming the dissonance between the prevailing practice of mastering single technical actions in the training process and the requirements of modern competitive activity in freestyle wrestling, where combination actions provide up to 67.39% of points scored, is considered. The relevance of the research lies in the need to bridge the gap between single-action- oriented training practice and competitive reality, where combination structures dominate and are decisive. The purpose of the study: to develop a system of technical and tactical training of high-class athletes in freestyle wrestling based on combination actions. Research methods: analysis of scientifi c and methodological literature, survey, pedagogical modeling and methods of mathematical statistics. The essence and structural features of the combinations are revealed, the key requirements for their construction are determined (rational sequence, consideration of the opponent’s eff orts and position, distance and direction of attack). An innovative structural and functional training model has been developed, the central element of which is the formation of combinational thinking, the transition from uncontrolled actions to a controlled attack program.
