Quantitative Indicators of Technical-Tactical Performance: An Example With Freestyle and Female Top 10 Wrestlers from the 2011 World Senior Championships

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe the technical-tactical performance of the top ten wrestlers in the 2011 World Senior Championship in freestyle and female wrestling. In order to determine some relationships between objective characteristics of the technical and tactical performance, a general model was used to characterize components of the technical and tactical combinations (TTC) actually made in a sample composed by 70 wrestlers per style, 140 in total. Variables with greater informational content were determined, setting 8 quantitative indicators -4 averages and 4 coefficients -whose values were standardized to compare the technical and tactical performance in both styles of wrestling. Specific data were obtained and then it was possible to profile the best wrestlers in the world and develop technical and pedagogical guidance for the direction of the training process in order to participate in a successful way in such events, pointing to specific tactical and technical aspects an important condition for achieving a high ranking.

Reliability of A New Time-Motion Analysis Model Based on Technical-Tactical Interactions for Wrestling Competition

“…This situation can be observed clearly when preceding an effective standing techniques, the attacking movement reveals its intentionality and causation as preparatory actions, but not when the technique fails to be effective. About "Pummeling", as already noted different authors, current rules encourages wrestlers to avoid to set-up in full contact (11,16,18), so this type of grips are very brief and dynamic, being common the interaction algorithm "Motion -Hand Fighting -Pummeling -Motion" where "Pummeling" appears mostly. This makes it difficult to determine the duration, except when it is followed by the execution of an action attack technique, for example in an algorithm "Pummeling -Standing Technique -Danger Position".…”

“…Technical and tactical variables were obtained from previous studies (8,9,10,11) and were utilized to formulate the list of TMA indicators used in the analysis. This group of variables was composed and consists of eleven categories:1) "Motion", 2) "Hand Fighting", 3) "Pummeling", 4) "Shot", 5) "Standing Technical Movement", 6 )"Push-out", 7) "Par-terre Set-up", 8) "Par-Terre Technical Movement", 9) "Danger Position", 10) "Interruption", and 11) "Pause between rounds".…”

“…Технико-тактические переменные были взяты из предыдущих исследований (8,9,10,11) и использованы для создания списка параметров TMА, учитываемых при анализе. Эта группа переменных состояла из одиннадцати категорий:1) "Движение", 2) "Борьба кистями рук", 3) "Борьба руками", 4) "Стремительное действие", 5) "Техническое движение в стойке", 6 )"Выталкивание", 7) "Позиция в партере", 8) " Техническое движение в партере", 9) "Опасное положение", 10) "Перерыв" и 11) "Пауза между раундами".…”

“…Previous research about TMA and technical and tactical analysis have reported how awareness of the contextual factor can increase knowledge about physical demands and possible combinations to achieve scores (8,11,15,18,19,20). However, TMA models that consider the combat as a system composed of different technical and tactical actions producing specific physical demands are scarce.…”

“…Предыдущие исследования TMA и технико-тактический анализ показали, каким образом знание обстоятельственных факторов может увеличить осведомленность о физических требованиях и возможных комбинациях для набора очков (8,11,15,18,19,20). Однако моделей TMA, в которых поединок рассматривается как система, состоящая из различный технических и тактических действий, для которых необходимы конкретные физические предпосылки, недостаточно.…”
