Objective of the study was to rate benefits of a new psychological fitness building model to complement standard training systems applied in the youth belt wrestling sport.
Methods and structure of the study. The new psychological fitness building model testing experiment was run at "PGAFKST", with the 18-21 year-old belt wrestling athletes (n=40) sampled for the study and split up into Experimental and Reference Groups (EG, RG) of 20 wrestlers. The EG trainings were complemented by the new psychological fitness building model of our own design based on the individual typological features of the energy supply for muscular activity. And the RG was trained as required by the traditional belt wrestling training system. The study included two stages.
Results and conclusion. The study found the following progress in the both groups, with the EG tested with the following growths on the test scales: success motivation - 29.17%; risk tolerance - 45.05%; failure avoidance motivation - 23.98%; mental fitness - 33.43%; PA- 17.23%; and state anxiety 15.07%, with the progress rated statistically significant (p <0.05). The RG made progress of 2.58%; 6.80%; 7.87%; 8.94%; 7.30% and 5.51% on the same scales, respectively; with the progresses rated statistically insignificant (p> 0.05). It should be emphasized that the new psychological fitness building model was tested beneficial as verified by the EG making improvements on the state anxiety, trait anxiety, risk tolerance and failure avoidance motivation test scales to the optimal levels; plus achieved stable integrated mental fitness and success motivation ranges. These test data give us the grounds to recommend the belt wrestling training systems being designed and managed with due consideration for the individual strengths and weaknesses detected by the bioenergetic profiles and, hence types of temperament.

Keywords: youth belt wrestling, training system, psychological fitness.
