METHODOLOGY FOR DEVELOPING PHYSICAL AND TECHNICAL TRAINING IN HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT ATHLETES

This article examines the methodological foundations for developing physical and technical training in hand-to-hand combat athletes. The study analyzes the interdependence between general and special physical preparedness, technical mastery, and competitive performance. Particular attention is given to strength, speed-strength abilities, endurance, coordination, and flexibility as essential components of physical fitness. The article proposes a structured training model integrating technical drills, tactical simulations, and sport-specific conditioning exercises. The findings suggest that a systematic and periodized approach significantly enhances performance effectiveness and reduces injury risk. The proposed methodology may be applied in sports schools, professional clubs, and higher education institutions specializing in combat sports training.
