The functional fitness of the elite junior wrestlers shall be tested on a regular basis to respond the age-specific regresses by the timely corrective actions. Special priority shall be given to the efforts to prevent the junior wrestlers’ burnouts as a result of the most stressful competitions; with special transitional/ rehabilitation periods taking 8-10 days to help them at least reach the primary working capacity levels or, ideally, make progress in the strength endurance and the CNS and NMS functionality.
