Abstract

Introduction: The application of artificial intelligence methods to the analysis of psychophysiological indicators enables the identification of the most informative markers and the construction of profiles of preparedness in elite athletes within the framework of sports monitoring.

Objective: To identify the psychophysiological determinants that characterize the preparedness profile of elite Greco-Roman wrestlers using multivariate analysis methods and artificial intelligence tools.

Methodology: The study involved 44 Greco-Roman wrestlers: youth elite wrestlers (n = 21) and elite wrestlers (n = 23). A set of psychophysiological tests was used for the measurements. An algorithm for investigating psychophysiological indicators using artificial intelligence tools was applied, which included the stages of data collection, statistical processing of the results in the RStudio environment, and interpretation of the findings using the large language model GPT-5.2 (OpenAI).

Results: Psychophysiological determinants characterizing the wrestlers’ preparedness profile were identified. No statistically significant differences were found between the Youth U-17 and Seniors groups across 10 key indicators. Latent components of wrestlers’ psychophysiological functions and integral indices (LPI) were determined, making it possible to construct individual athlete profiles and to monitor psychophysiological functions during the training process. The application of artificial intelligence methods to the analysis of psychophysiological indicators enables the identification of the most informative markers and the construction of generalized profiles of preparedness in qualified combat sports athletes within the framework of sports monitoring.

Conclusions: The added value of a hybrid approach was confirmed, in which AI enhances the analytical process without compromising its scientific reproducibility.
