Justification of the Selection Techniques in Martial Arts using Wald's Sequential Analysis

The study purpose was to develop a selection technique in martial arts based on indices of physical development using Wald's sequential analysis.
 Materials and methods. 12 anthropometric indicators were determined. 9 indexes calculated their basis. 16 elite athletes (candidates for masters sports) divided into two groups. Group 1 included 7 (judo, sambo, Greco-Roman freestyle wrestling) aged 18.43±0.43. 2 kickboxing 18.22±0.52.
 Results. A prognostic table containing has been developed. informativeness the varied within 296.15–1.73. content prognosis consists evaluating results, determining corresponding coefficients summing these until one thresholds is reached. In accordance with generally accepted approaches, value set at level ±13, which corresponds probability 95% (p<0.05). Exceeding positive threshold improves an athlete's prospects wrestling. Achieving negative perspective kickboxing.
 Conclusions. conducted research made it possible justify method selecting development. proposed analysis simple, informative objective tool athletes' condition.
