Analysis of strength indicators of highly qualified armwrestlers at the stage of pre-competition training
Abstract
Objectives: analysis of the training process in preparation for arm wrestling competitions; identification of optimal strength indicators in preparation for arm wrestling competitions; determination of the methodology for preparing for the main arm wrestling competitions. Research methods: theoretical analysis and synthesis of scientific and methodological literature and the training process of highly qualified armwrestlers in preparation for the main competitions, a pedagogical experiment (hand dynamometry, tensodynamometry). Material: in the course of the study, power indicators were measured in the main competitive movements of highly qualified 24 armwrestlers in 3 weight categories (up to 80 kg, 80-100 kg, over 100 kg), 8 people each at the stage of pre-competition training. The indicators were measured by a Polish-made FBk series electrodynamics dynamometer with an accuracy class of up to 100 grams, using a specially made block device “ARM1 Device”. The results of the analysis, strength indicators of 4 competitive movements (bending fingers, hammer stretching, hook, bending of the hand) of highly qualified armwrestlers were significantly high in the weight category of 80-100 kg. Moreover, the indicator of the strength of the hook of the right hand was the highest in this weight group, and the lowest indicator was recorded in the weight group of up to 80 kg in flexion of the fingers. Conclusions: a comparative analysis of all the investigated indicators of power capabilities of highly qualified armwrestlers allowed us to establish that the highest results were shown in power exercises hook and flexion of the hand; it can be argued that strength exercises make it possible to clearly determine the level of strength preparedness of armwrestlers, and this itself is the main indicator of the effectiveness of highly qualified armwrestlers; the results obtained indicate that armwrestlers with worse strength indicators achieve results by including more muscle groups in the performance of strength exercises and, conversely, higher strength indicators are achieved by performing strength exercises with a specific muscle group.
