On the relation of individual-typological features of wrestlers´ nervous system with the success of their competitive activity

The purpose of the article is to study the dynamics of indicators of electro-skin resistance (ESR) in the pre-start, competitive and post-competitive period, depending on the outcome of the wrestling match. For 26 wrestlers of 19.26±0.3 years old we studied the indicators of ESR during weighing (background), before and after the fight. Intergroup features of the dynamics of mental states were analyzed in connection with victory or defeat. For the winners, ESR on the day of weighing was 12.97 kOhm, for the losers it was 14.65 kOhm. Before entering the mat, mental stress increases in all wrestlers, however, in those who subsequently lose the fight, it is more pronounced. Pre-competitive emotional arousal among the winners develops in a timely manner and among the losers prematurely: difference between the results was 16.21% (p<0.01). The psycho-emotional stress of the winners does not decrease after the competition, ESR increases by 19% (p<0.05), which indicates the need for additional health and rehabilitation measures. Manifestations of individual-typological properties of the nervous system in states of mental tension are a prognostic factor in the effectiveness of competitive activity in wrestling.
