Analysis of grip strength and somatotype features of armwrestling athletes of different skill levels

In the arm-wrestling technique, the main element is the attack phase, which aims to achieve a quick superiority over the enemy. Researchers Zhivora and Usanov classified four main attack methods: top attack, hook attack, push attack, and side attack. During a side attack, a great deal of stress is placed on the flexors of the hand. In connection with this, four strength exercises were selected as test indicators: flexion of the fingers, stretch with a hammer, hook and bending of the hand. These exercises were chosen to determine the level of strength readiness of highly qualified arm-wrestlers. The work aimed to determine the model indicators of strength readiness of highly qualified arm-wrestlers of different weight categories. The study involved 24 arm-wrestlers, 8 in the weight category up to 80 kg, 8 – from 80 to 100 kg and 8 – over 100 kg. Three test athletes are world champions in arm-wrestling, 7 are winners of European and world championships, 9 are participants in European and world championships, 5 are winners of national championships of Ukraine. The following research methods were used in work: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific, methodological and notable information, pedagogical observation, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. The analysis of the strength capabilities of highly qualified arm-wrestlers and their strength readiness models made it possible to develop assessment criteria for the level of strength readiness of highly qualified arm-wrestlers of three weight categories. Three levels of strength readiness have been identified: low (х ̅ - σ), high (х ̅ + σ) and medium – more (х ̅ - σ), but less (х ̅ + σ). The conducted research allowed to establish the peculiarities of the levels of strength readiness development among highly qualified arm-wrestlers by weight categories. Model indicators of strength readiness of highly qualified arm-wrestlers were also determined. The analysis made it possible to state that athletes of lightweight categories (up to 80 kg and 80-100 kg) are more harmoniously developed according to the test results. Heavy arm-wrestlers (over 100 kg) showed worse results than expected.

Research purpose. The aim of the study was to determine the model indicators of strength readiness of qualified armwrestling student-athletes in the weight category from 80 to 100 kg in 4 strength exercises: flexion of the fingers, stretch with a hammer, hook and bending of the hand. Materials and Methods. The study involved 16 qualified armwrestling student-athletes weighing from 80 to 100 kg (M = 86,63 kg), 7 of which are participants of national championships of Ukraine, and 9 of which are prize-winners of competitions of regional level. During the study, strength indicators were determined in 4 competitive exercises. Strength indices in all test exercises were measured in a static mode by an FB5k series digital force gauge (Poland) with an accuracy class of up to 100 g, which was mounted on a special armwrestling table using a specially made block device. The created design was called the “ARM1 Device” (patent 43082). During the statistical analysis, the following parameters were calculated: arithmetic mean (M), standard deviation (σ), error of representativeness (m) and the coefficient of variation (V). Results. The analysis of the strength capabilities of the qualified student-armwrestlers and the presented models of their strength readiness made it possible to develop assessment criteria for the level of strength readiness of the qualified student-armwrestlers. Three levels of strength readiness have been identified: low (M - σ), high (M + σ) and medium, i.e. more than (M - σ) but less than (M + σ). Comparative analysis of the ratios of different levels of strength training in this group of armwrestling athletes allowed to determine from 128 indicators of strength 14.84% (n = 19) of low level, 62.50% (n = 80) of medium level and 22.66% (n = 29) of high level. Conclusions. The study made it possible to establish the features of the levels of development of strength training of qualified armwrestling athletes weighing from 80 to 100 kg. The model indicators of strength training of qualified armwrestlers were also determined. The analysis found that the subject athletes have an insufficient level of strength training and are not fully realized in terms of strength capabilities (62.50% indicators of the average level of strength).

Анализ методики подготовки 13-кратного чемпиона мира по армрестлингу Бескоровайный Д.А. 1 , Звягинцева И.Н. 1 , Мазуренко И.А. 2 Харьковский национальный университет городского хозяйства имени А. Н. Бекетова 1 Харьковская государственная академия физической культуры 2 Аннотация: Цель: анализ и обобщение методических подходов подведения армрестлера к главным стартам сезона -чемпионатам Европы и мира. Материал и методы: теоретический анализ и обобщение данных научно-методической литературы и методики тренировочного процесса многократного чемпиона Европы и мира в годовом макроцикле подготовки к основным соревнованиям, педагогический эксперимент (кистевая динамометрия, тензодинамометрия). Материал: в процессе исследования проанализированы планы и программы подготовки многократного чемпиона мира 2014-2015 годового макроцикла к основным соревнованиям по армрестлингу, произведены замеры силы и статической выносливости рук. Результаты: в результате анализа программы подготовки определено, что она состояла из трех основных этапов: втягивающего, базового и контрольно-подготовительного; каждый этап включал в себя специализированные упражнения статической и динамической направленности для развития показателей силы и статической выносливости групп мышц, которые непосредственно участвуют при проведении поединка в армрестлинге. Выполнение тестовых нормативов выполнялось на начальном и на финальном этапах специализированной подготовки, но не позднее, чем за 2 недели до начала соревнований, нормативы включали в себя как статические, так и динамические усилия, выполнялись со свободными весами, а также с использованием прибора ARM1 (разработчик И. Мазуренко), который позволяет производить тестирование силы и статической выносливости непосредственно на специализированном столе. Показатели силы и статической выносливости в основных соревновательных движениях возросли перед главными соревнованиями сезона -чемпионатом мира, причем левой рукой это возрастание было более выраженным, что позволило занять более высокие места на левой руке. Так изменения на левой руке были от 10,2 % до 15,2 %, а на правой -от 4,9 % до 15,2 %. Выводы: использованная программа подготовки позволила стать чемпионом Европы и серебряным призером чемпионата мира на левой руке, причем силовые показатели именно левой руки возросли значительнее чем правой, что подтверждает ее эффективность.Ключевые слова: армрестлинг, тренировочная программа, макроцикл, соревнования.weeks before the start of the competition, the standards included both static and dynamic efforts, were performed with free weights, as well as using the ARM1 device (developer I. Mazurenko), which allows testing strength and static endurance directly on a specialized table. Strength and static endurance indicators in the main competitive movements increased before the main competitions of the season -the World Cup, and with the left hand this increase was more pronounced, which allowed to take higher places on the left hand. So the changes on the left hand were from 10,2 % to 15,2 %, and on the right -...
