Abstract

Background and Study Aim: To assess various approaches to determining components of psychomotor competence with respect to hand-to-hand fights.
Material and Methods: A group of 14 students (Grade 4) of the Military Institute of Physical Culture in St Petersburg. Four principal factors determining psychomotor competences in hand-to-hand combat, 5 methods of determining them, and assessment criteria were selected. The result of 10 fights with an armed opponent preceded by a 3000-m run served as a reference task.
Results: Highest association with the reference task, equal to 87.5%, showed two elements: the results of free fights not preceded by running and hand-to-hand combat exercise while running an obstacle course.
Conclusions: The results of properly selected tests based on hand-to-hand fights should serve as one of the principal criterions when assessing the psychomotor competence of antiterrorists.


Key words: antiterrorist training, hand-to-hand combat, test accuracy
