Weight control to improve functionality of wrestlers of heavy weight categories
The article presents the results of the study of the component composition of the body and the level of functional training of freestyle wrestlers of heavy weight categories. During the experiment, it was found that the regulation of the body weight in an extreme way, i.e. due to less food consumption and in a short period of time, leads to depletion of the body reserves, reduced functionality. However, the regulation of body weight due to the predominant reduction in the proportion of adipose tissue contributes to the increase of functional readiness and allows the athletes to realize their individual potential in the competitive activity.
