Dependence of stress level on the strength of nervous processes and development of special types of endurance in 16-17-year-old men

Abstract

Aim: To investigate the relationship between stress level and indicators of special endurance in 16-17-year-old men engaged in martial arts, taking into account the individual and typological characteristics of their nervous system. Materials and Methods: The research involved 40 young men (high schoolers) aged 16-17 engaged in various martial arts types. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literary sources, pedagogical testing, and methods of mathematical statistics. The following indicators were studied: stress level using the V. Shcherbatykh test; nervous system strength by results of the tapping test; an indicator of speed and strength endurance by results of jumping rope; an indicator of coordination and strength endurance by results of the Burpee test. Results: The correlation relationship between the level of stress and the manifestation of various types of endurance in young men, as well as the relationship between the level of stress and motor fitness of young men, taking into account the individual and typological properties of their nervous system, in particular the strength of nervous processes, has been established. Conclusions: It has been found that young men with a strong nervous system are more stress-resistant, that is, they have a significantly lower level of stress and show better indicators of special types of endurance. At the same time, young men with a high level of development of speed and strength endurance as well as coordination and strength endurance have a lower level of stress.
