PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS OF DECISION-MAKING EFFECTIVENESS IN WRESTLERS UNDER COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS
Abstract
In modern high-achievement wrestling, the role of psychological factors in effective decision-making is becoming increasingly important for competitive success. Wrestling, being a complex tactical and physically demanding sport, requires athletes to possess not only physical preparedness but also a high level of cognitive and emotional process management. During competitions, wrestlers face intense psychological pressure that can significantly affect decision-making effectiveness. The aim of the study is to identify the complex of psychological factors affecting the effectiveness of decision-making by highly qualified wrestlers in competitive conditions.
