Abstract
Study aim. The aim of the research is a comparative analysis of psychophysiological features of athletes of practicing different martial arts. Methods. 46 elite wrestlers participated in a research were divided into three groups: Greco-Roman wrestlers, freestyle wrestlers, judo athletes and sambo athletes. It was applied computer complex of 10 psychophysiological tests. The applied tests allow to give the complex analysis to psychophysiological features of athletes, to evaluate the speed of reaction to different signals, coordination, concentration, sense of space. Results. It was determined specific influence of a type of martial arts on the studied indicators. Athletes of technical martial arts (judo, sambo) demonstrated the best results in the following tests: simple visual-motor reaction, tapping-test, choice reaction, reproduction of line and coincidence of shape. The worst results of athletes practicing strength sport (Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling) witnesses that speed of reaction to different irritators is not the leading predictor of their success. Results of reaction to moving object, the reaction of recognition, the choice reaction of half of the screen and temp reproduction were better in Greco-Roman wrestlers. Conclusions. These data show the high level of athletes’ training, confirm the specificity of these tests for single combats. The applied tests are informative for estimation of the functional condition of athletes. Dynamics of their results gives necessary information for the prediction of athletes’ success and can be used in the monitoring of their condition.
