Abstract

The purpose of the study: to determine the peculiarities of weight loss by wrestlers, to identify the means and methods used for weight loss. Research material and methods. The following generally accepted methods were used in the study: analysis of scientific and methodological literature and Internet sources; questionnaires; methods of mathematical statistics. We conducted a survey during the Ukrainian Championship in freestyle wrestling among men and women under 23 (Zhytomyr, 07–09.09.2021) and the training camp in preparation for the World Championship among men and women under 23 (State Olympic Training and Sports Centre “Koncha Zaspa”, October, 2021). The survey involved 56 athletes of various sports qualifications engaged in freestyle wrestling. MS Excel was used for statistical data processing and graphical presentation of results. Results: in the course of the study, it was established that in order to participate in competitions, many athletes (76.9%) have to resort to artificial weight loss and lose weight at least 2 times a year (57%). More often, wrestlers take up to 3 days to lose weight and use a forced method of reducing body weight. It was found that on average, athletes of light weight categories (29%) artificially reduce their weight by 1–3 kg, while for them this is the maximum level of weight reduction, of medium weight categories – by 5–7 kg, and of heavy weight categories – by 7–9 kg. The means of regulating body weight are dietary restrictions, selection of physical activity with various conditions of increased dehydration. Conclusions. The most popular method of weight loss among wrestlers is forced weight loss. As the competition approaches, an athlete who is a few kilograms overweight stops eating, starts training more intensively and finally resorts to dehydration – water withdrawal. On the basis of the above we will develop a methodology of forming the readiness of athletes to participate in freestyle wrestling competitions within weight categories.
