The objective of the work is to study the key factors of highly skilled wrestler fitness structure determining
the level of their functional state and physical work capacity at the stage of maximum realization of individual
capacities.
Material: 45 highly skilled wrestlers aged 19-27 years, members of the national teams of Ukraine in freestyle and
Greco-Roman wrestling were examined. The 27 of Ukrainian National Team athletes, participated in this
study, were at the student’s age (19-24 y) during championships and 23 of them were currently students.
Instrumental research methods were used to record indices of functional fitness (FF) and physical work
capacity of wrestlers while performing a specialized test with throws of a partner and a block of testing
physical loads on a bicycle ergometer.
Results: It was revealed that among factors determining the structure of wrestlers’ fitness, the integral factor of FF
general level (31.13% of the total variance) has the greatest impact on the variability of physical work capacity
indices of athletes. Increase in skill level of wrestlers is associated with decreased time of performing throws
in a specialized test, increased relative values of lactate power, O2-debt, general level of FF, O2 consumption
per 1 kg of body mass. Improvement of wrestler FF structure along with an increase in their skill level is
characterized by higher contribution of FF integral parameters (anaerobic power, mobility of physiological
reactions, FF general level) to the manifestation of physical work capacity. It was revealed that the general
level of FF of wrestlers is characterized by the following ratio of key factors (relative to model values of elite
athletes): anaerobic power - 52.6 ± 4.9%, aerobic power - 52.8 ± 4,1%, mobility - 80.4 ± 5.3%, economy
- 43.3 ± 3.0%. In the course of studies, mathematical models of the key factors of wrestler FF structure
associations with the level of special work capacity, skill level and weight category have been developed.
Modeling allowed to specify the criteria and develop scales for assessing special physical work capacity level,
differentiated according to skill level and weight category groups of highly skilled wrestlers.
Conclusions: The findings reflect the crucial role of anaerobic energy supply mechanisms in the manifestation of high
special work capacity in wrestling. Improvement of wrestler FF structure along with the increase of their
skills is characterized by a decrease in the number of key functional parameters determining the level of
physical work capacity during testing with loads that model specific activity of highly skilled wrestlers. This,
along with body functions economization, is one of the important criteria for improving FF structure of the
