Introduction. The article analyzes the physical development, general and special physical fitness of Greco-Roman wrestlers at the stage of specialized basic training. It is established that the results obtained are one of the leading components of training and competition processes. It is noted that when building training and competition processes of junior wrestlers, it is necessary to take into account the level of physical fitness in order to maintain the pace of competitive wrestling throughout the entire fight, as well as to perform effective and productive technical and tactical actions. The purpose of the study is to determine the level of physical development of qualified wrestlers of Greco-Roman style at the stage of specialized basic training. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of data from scientific and methodological literature and the Internet (sources were studied in accordance with the research problem); anthropometric methods, index method (determined the level of physical development of wrestlers); pedagogical methods for studying general and special physical fitness of wrestlers aged 16-17 years (conducted testing of the physical fitness of wrestlers); methods of mathematical statistics (aimed at calculating the total and average values of indicators and their effectiveness). Research results. The results of the study showed that the indicators of physical development and physical fitness of fighters at the stage of specialized basic training were within the normal range. However, the test results are pulling on the crossbar (V = 15,2 %), 10 partner throws (dummy) deflection (V = 21,45 %), partner throws (dummy) 20 s (V = 18,03 %), angle retention 900 from the position of the hang (V= 19,07 %), holding the position of overrun protection (V= 17,53 %), as well as the number of completed technical actions for the 3rd period (V = 16,02 %) have rather high coeficients of variation. This indicates that the level of development of the fighters’power, speed-strength qualities, special endurance and technical preparedness is heterogeneous and requires more focused pedagogical influence. Conclusions. Greco-Ro-man style wrestlers at the stage of specialized basic training differ significantly in their level of preparedness, and the level of development of their strength, speed-strength qualities and special endurance is insuficient to maintain the pace of fighting throughout the fight, as well as the performance of effective and eficient technical and tactic action. Therefore, fighters of 16-17 years old have significant reserves of preparedness and this requires a targeted pedagogical impact.
