BIOMECHANICAL EVALUATION OF MOTOR ACTIONS AT THE GRIP “SHOULDER THROW” IN THE SPORT OF WRESTLING

ABSTRACT An “active” experiment was performed for kinematic and dynamographic analysis of the motor actions at one of the main wrestling grips “shoulder throw”. The general principles of ensuring the success of the grip as well as the individual features demonstrated in the performances of elite athletes are traced. The purpose of this study is to explore and perform a biomechanical analysis of the grip “Shoulder throw”. The kinematic characteristics are assessed quantitatively by using a video-computer methodology, and the dynamic ones by measuring the support reactions on a dynamo platform. The object of the study are fighters for whom “shoulder throw” is the main grip. Both general biomechanical regularities and significant individual features in sports and technical mastery have been experimentally derived. The obtained results raise questions before the training process regarding the measure between the standardization and individualization of sports and technical mastery. In our opinion, these results are of great interest as they reveal a new and sensitive indicator for the coordination abilities and respectively for the sports and technical mastery of the athletes.
