Abstract
Purpose: approbation of a complex of speed-strength characteristics for monitoring the dynamics of strength exercises of the world’s leading armwrestlers weighing over 100 kg. Material and Methods. The study involved the 3 best arm wrestlers in the world weighing over 100 kg (116.00 ± 18.03 kg) in 2017–2020. Four power test exercises have been identified that ensure the performance of a competitive action in arm wrestling: flexion of the fingers, stretch with a hammer, hook and bending the hand. These exercises were performed with the left and right hands. Strength indicators in all test exercises were measured with an FL1K 0.5N, 1000N electric strain gauge dynamometer, Kern & Sohn GmbH (China) with an accuracy class of up to 50 g, fixed on a specialized armwrestling table using a specially made an author’s block device. In the course of statistical analysis, the following parameters were determined and calculated: maximum (F) and relative (F1 = ƩF / m) strength, kg; total strength index in four strength exercises (ƩF = F1 + F2 + F3 + F4), kg; time to reach maximum strength (Ʃt = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4), s; speed-strength index (J = ƩF / Ʃt), kg/ms; average strength, index of four exercises ( = ƩF / 4), kg; total strength gradient of four exercises (Ʃt0,5F), ms; speed-strength index in the first 500 ms (J500 = ƩF500 / Ʃt500), kg/ms; time to reach 1 kg force (t1 = Ʃt0.5F / (0.5×F)), ms/kg; Pearson’s correlation analysis; Factor analysis. Results. As a result of the study, the main data on the speed-strength indicators of armwrestlers were obtained and analyzed. In the process of testing, according to the indicators of time periods and these efforts of dynamic strength, the features of the manifestation of explosive, fast and slow strength of arm wrestlers weighing over 100 kg were established. Determining the relationship between strength and speed-strength indicators using factor analysis made it possible to establish two factors that determine the overall variance of the sample. The first factor with a contribution of 70.9 % to the total sample formed the temporal characteristics of effort in test exercises, such as the time to reach maximum effort (r = 0.979), speed-strength index (r = 0.986), force gradient. (r = 0.986) and the time to reach a force of 1 kg (r = 0.979). The second factor with a factor loading of 29.1 % was the maximum force (r = 0.960), the average test strength (r = 0.961) and the achieved force in 500 ms (r = 0.716). Thus, the results of the correlation and factorial analyzes of the strength and speed-strength indicators of armwrestlers weighing more than 100 kg indicate the priority of the temporal characteristics of efforts over strength in a competitive exercise. Conclusions. The study made it possible to test a complex of speed-strength indicators for monitoring the functional state of the world’s leading armwrestlers weighing over 100 kg, an approved system of criteria for time and power characteristics of efforts in competitive exercises allows you to monitor the state of athletes to monitor and predict success in armwrestling. The author’s device used in the study made it possible to automate the process of measurements with high mobility, as well as immediately create a database on the power and speed-strength capabilities of armwrestlers with high accuracy.
