Freestyle Wrestling is an acyclic sport, based on a mixed aerobic and anaerobic effort, characterized by intensity, variety and rapid changes of situations. With the change in rules and the dynamisation of wrestling, tactical, low-intensity efforts have disappeared, and the athlete is forced to fight at a sustained pace to avoid disqualification. This is what is known as ‘total combat’. Training and competitions act multilaterally on the fighter’s body, during the specific effort all muscle groups, joints, analysers, the fighter’s entire personality are involved, all with the material support of a remarkable increase in the functions of all the body’s apparatus and systems. We can therefore say that Greco-Roman wrestling is one of the most complex sports, in which, in addition to general and specific endurance, several other qualities are required, such as strength, reaction speed and exceptional skill. The aim of the research is to elaborate and argue the content of the planning of the training process in junior wrestlers (16-17 years old) specific to each period of the annual training cycle, considering the interaction of different aspects. Analyzing the dynamics of different parameters of the level of physical and technical-tactical training of 16-17 years old wrestlers, we found a large difference between the analyzed parameters. Indices of general physical readiness increased considerably during the training period and then stabilized at an optimal level.
