| Abstract. | Today, the act of selection is not an isolated one and does not represent, in any case, an end in itself because, once completed, it initiates a training process that leads to another moment of selection. Therefore, selection is a process carried out up to the upper limit of performance. This is why the concepts of selection and training have been brought together in a phrase that suggests a complex, correlated process directed toward a specific specialization of the child and junior athlete. The characteristic feature of contemporary sports is the continuous improvement of athletic performance. This requires specialists to seek ways to enhance the efficiency of sports training. In this context, one of the factors determining the quality of the training process is sports selection. The purpose of the research is to apply the system of tests and control standards aimed at initial selection in wrestling, as well as the possibility of applying them throughout the training process towards high-level performance. The control tests designed and implemented in the selection process have proven to be accessible to children aged 7-11 years old, which supports part of the hypothesis. The introduced tests did not pose difficulties in adapting the subjects to the testing method, allowing, in our opinion, a true representation of the investigated traits. Among all the control tests we introduced, the one that brings the most relevant aspects seems to be the combined rugby game test, which simultaneously assesses courage and vigilance. The data from our research, while in the early stages, suggest that it is necessary to further develop the system of control tests, focusing more on the psychological behaviour required in competitive wrestling. |
