- Abstract
Background. The investigation of psychophysiological functions in athletes is important to adapt the training process. In this paper, we examine speed perception and decision-making during wrestling fights as a crucial component of performance. We argue that a wrestler must anticipate the situation and speeded choices of response selection are required based on fast and frugal decision-making. Aim. The approach investigates a psychophysiological test battery to test correlates of fast or slow decision making in wrestlers. Method. 29 elite Greco-Roman wrestlers were examined. The psychophysiological states of wrestlers were studied by a test battery of vision motor test, non-verbal intelligence, anticipation and heart rate variability. Those competences are correlated to fast or slow decision-making time when choosing between different stimuli. Results. The analysis revealed correlation between fast decision-making and visual perception, the increase of impulsiveness and level of emotional strain during fights. In addition, faster decision-making was present in those wrestlers with high anticipation ability and balance between processes of arousal and inhibition. The psychophysiological data suggests that fast decision-making correlates with the autonomic regulation of the heart rate. Conclusions. Fast decision-making in wrestlers seems to be related to a number of parameters in a psychophysiological test battery calling for a causal and experimental approach in the future and specific training of those factors allow wrestlers to improve their decision time.
