Sažetak
The sample of participants was comprised of 35 top cadet wrestlers (15 to 17 years of age) from the discipline of classic wrestling, from 8 different Croatian clubs. The chosen tests from the battery of tests for the assesment of basic and specific training status for advanced wrestlers (Starosta, Tracewski 1981) were: strive, the so-called « ; ; ; merry-go-round» ; ; ; (SESTAR_DL), bridge from above upper, the so-called bridge execution (MOST_ST) for assessment of specific flexibility and speed of movement, and the catch (snatch) from the neck (SKL_S_VR) and bridge arrival - pirouettes (PIRUETE) for the assessment of specific coordination and speed. The authors can conclude that the applied tests range from medium to very high reliability. We can assume that the improvment of reliability would occur if the number of participants was larger and the wrestlers older and better. In the case of a smaller sample of participants, the authors suggest increasing the number of items for increasing the reliability. The authors also conclude that if the Polish battery of tests is applied, the number of items by test should be less and according to the suggestions of the authors (Starosta, Tracewski 1981). The number of tests for advanced wrestlers is very large (cadets and juniors do 23, seniors 15), and even during this small research it was noticed that the accumulated fatigue was close to the upper level of tolerance for both athletes and trainers. The authors feel that with such a large battery of tests it is more important: to have an optimal number of items determined by long-term practice and a large volume of research, properly divided into tests during the days of testing, have determined norms, have top sport results of athletes who are observed while doing the suggested battery of tests. Only then would the motivation of top athletes for testing be retained even under increasing fatigue, and then also the real reliability of the applied tests would be maintained.
