Abstract

The material for research were the results of morphological studies and psychomotor test-ing of female freestyle wrestlers, members of national teams of the country and the strongest fe-male athletes participating in major international competitions. Sample of female athletes was 136 persons. The control group was represented by the 107 women students not athletes. Researches were carried out in the 2010–2012 biennium. The age of the surveyed (both groups) was in the range of 17–28 years. Qualification of athletes: honored masters of sports -3.8%, masters of sports of the international class – 10.5%, masters of sports – 34.6%, candidates for master of sports – 45.1%, first-rank sportsmen – 6.0%. All sportswomen were divided by us into three conditional weight categories: light – from 39 kg – 54 kg, (n = 47), medium – from 55 kg – 63 kg, (n = 43 and heavy – from 63.2 kg, 82 kg, (n = 46) total (n = 136). Statistical process-ing of results was carried out using the software package Statistika 6. For measurement of psychomotor indicators we used the computer program the devel-oped A.N. Lebedev [Zabrodin, Lebedev, 1977, Lebedev, 1980, 1985]. The purpose of such diag-nostics – an assessment of volume of short-term memory, speed of simple sensomotor reactions and reactions of a choice, level of concentration of attention, a faultlessness of answers, defini-tion of an integrated cognitive index of the examinee and positions of the last in a ranged number of a great number of examinees. Morphological examination of sportswomen included determination of the total, longitu-dinal, transverse and girth sizes of a body, with use of the standard technique [Bunak, 1941, Martirosov, 1982]. When studying structure of the whole weight of the body were used a cali-perometry method (Lange skinfold caliper) and Matiegka formulas (1921) and a bioelectrical impedance analysis by using the hardware device «MEDAS» [Martirosov, Nikolaev, Rudnev, 2006]. As a result of the conducted researches standards of psychomotor indicators of women wrestlers of three conditional weight categories and for wrestlers of the joint group are devel-oped and also estimated centile scales are offered. Specific distinctions in psych motility indica-tors between sportswomen of three conditional weight categories and persons not going in for sports, relating to the same conditional weight groups are established. This fact gives the grounds to use the allocated psychomotor indicators as predictors at selection to occupations by female free-style wrestling. It is shown that female wrestlers of conditional weight categories differ from each other, but in much smaller number of cases, than when comparing with not sports-women. This fact, on the one hand, speaks about their geometrical not similarity, on the other hand, testifies in some cases, about equal requirements to wrestlers isn’t dependent on their weight groups dictated by specifics of a sport type. The analysis of interrelation of psychomotor opportunities at women wrestlers with mor-phological indicators and in control group, testifies to higher correlations at not sportswomen in comparison with sportswomen, on the one hand, on the other hand, the found low correlations don’t give the grounds to develop the reliable equations of the forecast of psychomotor indica-tors according to morphology. We assume that the psychomotor indicators used by us aren’t rather specific to the female wrestlers.
