Contributions Regarding the Development and Experimentation of a Specific Physical Training Model for Greco-Roman Junior Wrestlers

The use of methods to objectify the specific activities of athletes in trainingand competitions is not a problem studied to its true extent in wrestling. Measuring andevaluating the predictability components of competitive performance in this sport iseven more important given the fact that in free and Greco-roman wrestling theelaboration of models has never been easy, due to the unquantifiable performance thatperformers have to achieve. Therefore, the issue is the most important field of researchin the current stage in sports wrestling, before becoming an operational tool availableto practitioners. The transformation of these components into figures allows obtainingresults that can define the weight and impact they have in creating training andcompetitive models, selection models, planning, control and evaluation of the efficiencyof training methods and especially the establishment of a battery of tests, usuallyvalidated by the method of factor analysis, to support periodic improvements byassimilating the progress in knowledge. From this point of view, we proposed theelaboration of the action strategy in order to increase the efficiency and highlightsome components of the specific physical training model, whose materialization at thelevel of junior athletes decisively influenced the training activity, as a premise inobtaining the performance goals. Our experimental approach took place at the DinamoBucharest Sports Club, where the junior sports of the club and the national junior teamtrained. The training of the junior wrestlers from the Greco-roman style according tothe parameters of the specific physical training model foreshadowed by us, demonstratedits efficiency and led to the modeling of the wrestling behavior and performancecompatible with that of high-performance wrestlers.
