IMPACT OF SAMPLE FLEXIBILITY METHODS IN SPORTS PREPARATION OF 19-22-YEAR-OLD WRESTLERS

Abstract

Our research was aimed at revealing the influence of sample, author stretching methods for development and maintenance of the physical quality flexibility among greco-roman wrestlers. Aim. We wanted to examine the influence of the implementation of sample flexibility exercises in the educational-training process of a particular sample of wrestlers on their general and special flexibility. Methods. In order to collect and process the data needed to conduct the research we used the following methods – pedagogical experiment; testing; math-statistical processing of the obtained data – variation analysis (for determining the normality of the distribution of the data), t-criterion of Student for independent samples. The results were processed with MS Excel 2016. Results. The results from the variation analysis of the control and experimental groups are presented in tables with the values of each index. Both groups were homogeneous and relatively homogeneous as regards the tests used, and according to the indexes for asymmetry and excess, we can summarize that the distribution of the data was symmetrical. The last table shows the comparison between the mean values at the beginning and at the end of the experiment for both the control and the experimental groups. Conclusion. In conclusion, we point out the necessity of purposeful inclusion of flexibility exercises in wrestlers’ training process because they help maintaining and increasing the physical quality flexibility, which on the other hand, is a premise for the successful learning and applying certain technical elements and holds in sports wrestling.
