Essential characteristics of formation of readiness of sambo wrestlers of the masters category for competitive activity

According to the results of a number of theoretical and empirical studies on the outlined issues, members of the research group found, that the question of determining the essential characteristics and structure of the formation of the readiness of athletes of the "Masters" category, who specialize in the fight against Sambo for competitive activities in the system of their long-term training – insufficient number of scientific and methodical works is devoted. This requires further research and is currently an important area of scientific research. The main purpose of the study is to determine the nature and structure of the formation of readiness of Sambo wrestlers of the "Masters" category for competitive activities in the system of their long-term training. During the theoretical research the following methods were used: axiomatic, idealizations, historical and logical, convergence from the concrete, formalization, etc. In addition, the experience of many years of training of fighters of different age groups (weight categories) was used. As a result of theoretical research, the members of the research group determined the essential characteristics of "readiness of Sambo wrestlers of the" Masters "category for competitive activities" – personal education which is formed by purposeful pedagogical influence (taking into account modern achievements in the field of physical education of various groups of the population, Olympic and professional sports, etc.) for the formation of Sambo wrestlers of older age groups (Masters) readiness to raise the prestige of Ukrainian sports in the international arena, conducting competitive activities in various extreme conditions (climatic and geographical features, psychological impact on the minds of fans, political motives, well-being, exacerbation of chronic diseases, injuries, etc.) and provides a combination of knowledge about the content characteristics of training and competitive activities, as well as the requirements of these activities to the level of established professional competencies (technical preparedness, tactical preparedness, psychological readiness, knowledge of the basics of pharmacology, general physical readiness, special physical readiness, etc.) with the opportunities and needs formed and realized by him in the process of development. The results of the theoretical study are implemented in the system of long-term training of athletes of older age groups (Masters) who specialize in Sambo. Prospects for further research in the chosen field of scientific research include the development of an experimental program of long-term training of Sambo wrestlers in the "Masters" category, taking into account modern advances in science, technology, medicine and more.
