III.    DISCUSSION

The history of the development of wrestling in Russia has extensive experience in training wrestlers of the highest qualifications, the comprehensive development of the personality of athletes. For example, in the sports and coaching activities of the outstanding wrestler Georg Lurich there was a lot of what is considered today at the level of pedagogical innovations: issues of the moral education of athletes, the humanization of sports, the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, the absolute exclusion of smoking and drinking, the need for harmonious, spiritual and physical development, purposeful the formation of strong-willed qualities and more.

The most important information on this issue is contained in the works of V.A. Pytlyasinskogo (1896), A.F. Guretski (1913), G.G. Gackenschmidta (1915) and other authors. But the information collected is relatively fragmented, it is not summarized in the corresponding system, reflecting the formation and development of the Greco-Roman struggle at different stages of the historical era. At the same time, various problems of wrestling are actively studied by scientists. In the period from 1940 to the present in our country, about 200 theses on the problems of wrestling have been defended. At the same time, studying the history of the origin and development of Greco-Roman wrestling in Russia during the period from 1900 to 1912 is of particular interest today. First, by the end of the XIX century. the complex process of the formation of sports is being completed in basic features. Sport is becoming an organic part of a developing society. Secondly, at the same time in Europe there were economic, political and social transformations caused by the industrial revolution of European countries. The profound changes that have occurred in all spheres of public life could not but affect physical culture. Thirdly, the knowledge of past periods that are not directly related to our times allows us to understand the unity, as well as the diversity of humanity's creative activity in the field of physical culture.

In recent years, new directions in the study of physical education of students have appeared. This is the development of information and pedagogical technologies in the organization of the educational process (V.Yu. Volkov, L.M. Volkova, A.I. Nikolaev; V.Yu. Volkov, N.V. Inkova; T.A. Evdokimova; A.A. Sidorov, 2000 and others) and the valeological approach to the physical education of students (T.N. Mikhonina, A.A. Mikhonin, D.N. Davidenko, V.V. Trunin, E.V. Musatova, etc.).

IV.    RESULTS

There are a number of significant problems in the development of Greco-Roman wrestling in student sports. These are the difficulties of attracting highly qualified teachers and judges to work with students, and the insufficient use of the reserves of the Greco-Roman wrestling itself-its propaganda and popularization.

The main reason for all the problems that arise is the low level of centralized funding, the inefficiency of scientific, organizational and managerial support for student Greco-Roman wrestling in modern socio-economic conditions.

Problems of development of Greco-Roman wrestling in physical education of students are connected with the lack of appropriate pedagogical technologies. There are no centralized programs, guidelines, textbooks and manuals that allow you to effectively solve the problems of the development of Greco-Roman wrestling at the University. There is no progress in working with the women's contingent.

The activation of students ' motivational and value relations to Greco-Roman wrestling has shown its high efficiency.
