Abstract

The origins of wrestling are often shrouded in the legendary fog of antiquity. Every sport has its origin and culture. From the beginning of our history, we can feel the breath of millennia where wrestling was a cult, a legend, a duty, or a test for everyone. Wrestling has been a very popular sport among the civilized peoples of antiquity, even up to our days numerous Egyptian, Persian, Greek, and Roman frescoes have arrived, showing scenes from various wrestling matches that were organized at that time. In terms of value and importance, the sport of wrestling ranks among the first Olympic sports, always ranking among the most practiced sports around the world. Many authors look for the origin of wrestling in China and Egypt. This is wrong because all people of all ages have had some form of wrestling. A project doctorate is a great effort and challenge at the same time for any doctoral student who aspires to increase his academic qualification, it is a challenge when you want to contribute to sports science in this science that I believe has a place for everyone because science itself as they say is not a exact answer but in itself it is a process that goes on and on. ! From this perspective, the seriousness and respect for the profession I love, have made me more devoted to researching the unknown, to research where my colleagues leave, where I think the noblest sport in the world, the sport of wrestling, especially in Albania it requires energy and new ideas both in the training plan and in that strategy, especially in the absorption of the new generation, in the further massification and the quality mix of talent during this mix. Zarcioski's legendary statement on talent and the trainer is now known, he says that the trainer's chance to select talent is approximately only 10%..., imagine a colleague telling me how many Einsteins die in the mountains! Beyond this rhetoric that makes my confession about my work and about the goal of where I want to go more honest... In the topic selected by me "Indicators of the level of physical preparation among young wrestlers 17 to 20 years old" the general and special physical condition of our young wrestlers will be addressed according to the requirements of the time and our sport of wrestling. Physical preparation through its two constituent components (general physical preparation and special physical preparation), is one of the fundamental factors for the formation of a quality opportunity. Through it, a general and complex formation of the wrestler is achieved in the physical, functional, technical, and psychological training indicators. The new training systems reflect wrestling as an extremely important sport, but also difficult in the preparation of quality athletes. Through methodical and organizational scientific content, they show the main phases and stages of the multi-year training process, the main objectives and tasks of the training, as well as the optimal level of development of the loads, and the relevant tools and methods for its improvement.

The origins of wrestling are often shrouded in the legendary fog of antiquity.

Every sport has its origin and culture. From the beginning of our history, we can feel the breath of millennia where wrestling was a cult, a legend, a duty, or a test for everyone.

Wrestling has been a very popular sport among the civilized peoples of antiquity, even to our day numerous Egyptian, Persian, Greek, and Roman frescoes have arrived, showing scenes from various wrestling matches that were organized at that time.

In terms of value and importance, the sport of wrestling ranks among the first Olympic sports, always ranking among the most practiced sports around the world.

Many authors look for the origin of wrestling in China and Egypt. This is wrong because all people of all ages have had some form of wrestling. A doctoral project is a huge effort and challenge at the same time for any doctoral student who aspires to increase his academic qualification, it is a difficult climb up the mountain laden with stones but not as

“Sisyphus’ stone, it’s a challenge when you want to contribute to sports science, in this science that I believe has a place for everyone because science itself, as they say, is not an exact answer but in itself is a process that goes on and on. !

From this point of view, the seriousness and respect for the profession I love, have made me more devoted to researching the unknown, to research where my colleagues leave, and where I think the noblest sport in the world, the sport of wrestling, especially in Albania it requires energy and new ideas both in the training plan and in that strategy, especially in the absorption of the new generation, in the further massification and the quality mix of talent during this mix. Zarcioski’s legendary expression on talent and the trainer is already known, he says that the trainer’s chance to select talent is approximately only 10%. , imagine a colleague telling me how many Einsteins die in the mountains! Beyond this rhetoric that makes my confession about my work and about the goal of where I want to go more honest…
