Abstract

Objective of the study is to identify the relationships between the indicators of activity, effectiveness, productivity and effective variability of technical and tactical actions among student arm wrestlers. Methods and structure of the study. In order to determine the parameters for analysing competitive activity, pedagogical observation of the competitive and training process of arm wrestlers of the Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy team was carried out. Video recordings of 145 bouts held between 2024 and 2025 at all-Russian and regional student competitions were studied. The level of technical and tactical fitness of arm wrestlers was assessed according to the effectiveness of the execution of technical actions – the starting position and the attacking action. Relationships between the indicators of technical and tactical fitness were identified using correlation analysis. Results and conclusions. All indicators of technical and tactical fitness in arm wrestling were interrelated. The effectiveness of the execution of technical actions varied depending on the presence of classification groups and successfully executed technical actions. In turn, effective variability was linked to productivity (0.58) and activity (0.52). Productivity is also linked to activity (0.55), that is, a change in the number of points scored in competitions entailed a change in the number of successful attempts to execute attacking techniques.
