Methods of operative and informative control of the muscle loading level used during the training of sambo wrestlers

The aim of this paper is to find out effective, informative and available monitoring techniques and ways of assessment of sambo wrestlers’ functional readiness for training and competitive activity. Recent research based on the standard medical examination data suggests that many sambo wrestlers demonstrate unsatisfying types of cardiovascular response to exercise. The paper provides the results of a comparative analysis concerning the efficiency of utilization of two methods that allow controlling the functional state of sportsmen in the training for sambo wrestlers. These two methods include the assessment of heart rate recovery dynamics and ECG recording during training. As it was revealed, both techniques allow maintaining athletes’ physical health. However, the ECG recording method, developed by Professor Zavyalov, seems to work better to increase the level of sambo wrestlers’ functional readiness for intensive training and competitive activity. Sambo wrestlers who underwent ECG recording have demonstrated significantly less recovery interval after physical exertion (p
