- Abstract
As members of the research team for the grant "Optimizing the psycho-physical training of athletes who practice Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling to achieve a medal at the Olympic Games (2012 Edition)", during the period June 2010 - July 2012, we conducted a series of tests with senior athletes, members of the Romanian Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling Olympic team -- 8 boys and 6 girls. Computerised testing (levers, desks with buttons, pedals) was used to achieve a psychomotor and intellectual profile, in the case of athletes, based on which their strong and weak points could be highlighted, representing the scientific support for future interventions of the coach, as well as personal ones; at the same time, computerised testing also aimed to stimulate/develop important skills in Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestlers: procedural memory, topographical memory, learning ability, attention -- speed of responses, attention -- correctly issued responses, vigilance, perceptual field inspection, simple reaction time, discrimination and complex reaction time, accuracy and speed in tasks requiring intersegmental and eye-hand coordination, resistance to disruptive factors (from the environment) and resistance to time pressure (when the dynamics of situations increases) in tasks requiring intersegmental and eye-hand coordination.
