Features of technical improvement of wrestlers at the initial training stage

Abstract

The level of modern judo development puts forward increased requirements for the general preparation of athletes and its individual components at all stages of long-term training. Special attention is paid to the improvement of the training process at the stage of initial training, which makes it possible to identify promising directions that determine the effectiveness of training wrestlers in techniques. The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of the application of the game method of training in the process of technical improvement of judokas at the stage of initial training. The dynamics of indicators were studied, which ranged from 10% to 66.6% for general physical fitness, from 12.6% to 27.8% for special physical fitness, 12.9-37.5% for technical training, and 13.3% for general physical fitness, for which a pedagogical experiment was used, testing indicators of general and special physical and technical fitness as well as assessment of the level of general physical fitness. Thirty judokas, aged 10-12, took part in the study. Of them, 15 were part of the experimental group, and 15 were part of the control group. An experimental training programme with the use of special educational games was proposed, which contributed to the development of the necessary specialised qualities and the mastery of the basic techniques of judo. The games were divided into several groups depending on the task (games with “touching the opponent”, “blocking grip”, and “attacking grip”). The positive influence of game exercise complexes in studying and improving the technique of judo techniques was revealed, which contributed to the significant optimisation of general and special physical fitness and the general physical performance of athletes’ bodies. A comparative analysis of the dynamics of the studied indicators allowed to state that the athletes of the experimental group, who used an experimental training programme using special educational games, had better results compared to the control group. The practical value of the research lies in the recommendation of the introduction of experimental game methods for improving technical training in judo in the system of multi-year sports improvement, namely, at the stage of initial training
