KINEMATIC ANALYSIS OF WRESTLER’S POSITION DURING THE PERFORMANCE OF TECHNIQUE OF SHOULDER THROW

Sedat Baftiu, Fadil Rexhepi

Abstract

Freestyle wrestling is one of the most used and highly efficient techniques during the race, which often ensures victory. This analysis included 10 high quality and experienced senior wrestlers of different categories. The technique of shoulder throw is accomplished with maximum engagement in both variants (high variant and low variant), without opponent resistance. The throw was recorded with three cameras (60Hz / s), while the processing of the material was done according to the process of APAS (Ariel Performance Analysis System) modules. At the end reads the data from the curves obtained for the displacements and the durations of the throwing techniques. The technique starts from the diagonal position of the thrower, and the throw is divided into three phases. For the first two phases the displacements of the main body parts of the wrestler in both variants were compared. During the second phase (opponent's grip) greater displacement of the right shoulder, left shoulder, right thigh, left thigh, right knee, left knee and center of gravity of the wrestler's body was observed in the anteroposterior direction (forward), compared to the other two directions. However, during the low throw variant performance the vertical direction displacement is greater than the high variant and this difference is highly significant (p = 0.00), for all analyzed body parts of wrestler and the center of gravity of his body.
