Development of accurate perception of opponent's emotional state during sambo lessons

this study presents a comprehensive analysis of the formation of stable skills in identifying and interpreting the emotional expressions of opponents among sambo students during educational training sessions. Special attention is given to the theoretical justification for the necessity of developing sensitivity to emotional nuances arising during a bout, due to the increasing demands for mental resilience and tactical flexibility in modern athletes. The research program is based on a combination of observations of young sambo practitioners' activities and analysis of the effectiveness of trial bouts depending on the success of recognizing the opponent's psychological state. Pedagogical conditions that foster optimal mechanisms for developing emotional sensitivity are listed, and methodological techniques for introducing corrective training interventions at various stages of the educational process are detailed. Practical recommendations are oriented towards the implementation of multi-stage training aimed at improving communication in paired and group exercises, which contributes to the growth of competitive adaptability, confidence in extreme conditions, and forms prerequisites for enhancing success in duel and team combat. The obtained results can be utilized in the practice of organizing educational programs aimed at training specialists in the field of martial arts, as well as for developing proprietary methods for improving the psychological-emotional component of training.
