Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of combined training methods for developing strength and speed qualities in wrestlers. Wrestling is a sport that requires a unique balance between maximal force production and explosive reaction time. The research presents a methodology integrating strength training with plyometric and speed drills to enhance both anaerobic and neuromuscular performance. The experimental results demonstrated significant improvements in wrestlers’ maximal strength (by 11.2%), reaction speed (by 9.6%), and specific power endurance (by 13.4%). The findings confirm that combining dynamic and static load training produces superior results compared to traditional isolated strength or speed exercises.
