Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku djece hrvača starih 13-14 godina. Ka predikatorne varijable uzete su: brzina trčanja na 20 i 60 m iz niskog starta, broj sklekova i odbacivanje nogama u lijevu i desnu stranu za 10 sek., broj podizanja u hrvački "most" za 10 sek, trčanje na 50 m iz visokog starta i tjelesna težina. Metodom regresijske analize utvrđena je značajna i visoka povezanost između kriterijskih varijabli pobjeda, borbenost i brzina spuštanja u hrvački "Most" i prediktorskog skupa. Kao baterija testova za selekciju mladih hrvača preporučuju se slijedeći testovi: brzina trčanja na 20 i 60 m iz niskog starta, sklekovi, odbacivanje nogama u lijevu i desnu stranu ("striževi") za 10 sekundi.Research has been conducted on the sample of children aged 13-14. The following predictor variables were taken: running speed in 20 and 60 m races from the low start, number of push-ups and movements by legs to the left and to the right for the period of 10 seconds, 50-metre races from the high start position, and the body weight. By the method of regression analysis a significant and high correlation in the predictor group was established between criterion variables such as victory agressivness, and the speed of assuming the wrestling bridge position. The following battery of tests to be used in the selection of young wrestlers is recommended: running speed in 20 and 60 m races from the low start position, push-ups, and movements by legs in the left and right direction for the period of 10 seconds
