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.

The article identifies the causes of injuries and developed methodical techniques for their prevention in arm wrestling. During the study, the protocols of 92 (n = 92) arm wrestling competitions of various levels, from club to international, were analyzed, and 156 (n = 156) competitive movements of athletes were analyzed when performing arm wrestling techniques. In the course of the study, the protocols of 92 (n = 92) different level armwrestling competitions, from the club to the international competition were analyzed, 156 (n = 156) competitive movements were analyzed for athletes when armwrestling performing techniques. The data obtained indicate that, along with the increasing number of competitions, the number of injuries gradually and significantly decreases. So, at the first stage, during 24 competitions, athletes received 50 injuries, which on average annually amounted to 6.250±0.701 cases; at the second stage, during 28 competitions, 15 injuries were received (1.875±0.441 cases annually); at the third stage, out of 40 competitions, there were only 4 injuries (0.500±0.267 cases annually). A clear and reliable dynamics in the reduction of injuries (P < 0.01–0.001) indicates that the development and spread of armwrestling has a positive impact on the professional development of coaches, referees and athletes. Significant dynamics of injury reduction indicates that preventive measures to prevent the causes of injury have a positive impact on the training of coaches, referees and athletes. The annual seminars with the involvement of qualified athletes made it possible to significantly improve the technique of performing competitive exercises, improve the means of preventing injuries, and increase the qualification level of judges. In addition, in recent years, the material and technical base for training athletes has been improved, the Rules for holding competitions have been adjusted, as well as the methodology for strength training of armwrestlers of various qualifications.

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 -...

The article reveals the definition of the features of the manifestation of the dynamic strength of the world's leading armwrestlers. The study involved 3 of the world's best armwrestlers weighing from 62 to 74 kg: athlete 1 – multiple world champion (m = 62 kg); athlete 2 – multiple US champion, winner of international competitions (m = 62 kg); athlete 3 – champion of Ukraine, winner of international competitions (m = 74 kg). 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 indices in all test exercises were measured with an FB5k series electrical tenzodynamometer (Poland) with an accuracy class of up to 100 g, fixed on a specialized armwrestling table using a specially made block device – “ARM1 Device” (patent #43082). In the course of statistical analysis, the following parameters were calculated: maximum and relative strength, total strength index in four strength exercises (F), time to reach maximum strength (t), speed-strength index (F / t), average strength index of four exercises (F / 4), the gradient of the total strength of the four exercises (t0.5F), the strength index in the first 100 ms and 500 ms, the speed-strength index in the first 500 ms (F500 / t500), the time to reach a force of 1 kg (t0.5F / (0.5×F)); Pearson correlation analysis. The study made it possible to establish indicators of the speed-strength index, strength gradient, the ability to manifest dynamic strength in the first 500 ms, clearly characterizing the speed-strength capabilities of armwrestlers and allowing to determine the features and nature of the manifestation of their dynamic strength. These indicators make it possible to determine the natural ability to manifest one or another type of dynamic force; clarify the direction and content of the training process; to conduct an effective selection of armwrestlers at different stages of a long-term training process; predict the expected sports result; determine the tactics of competitive activity of each athlete.
