Achievement of highly stable results in elite sport is connected with searching for new research findings and practice-oriented approaches. In this article we reveal the reserve opportunities of a sportsman`s body, the development of which is connected with an elastic muscle tension which has a stimulating and reparative character. The physiological mechanism of an unfavorable state of the body called "motion sickness" is known. The factors responsible are the constant accelerations of the body during exercise, combined with inadequate mechanical and optokinetic stimuli (sensory feedback) which reduce motor activity and impair autonomic function. In the course of training for important competitions the spatial-temporal orientation of high quality Greco-Roman wrestlers was studied. Five tests for determining the dynamic equilibrium (balance) without visual orientation were used. The specially developed complex of stretching exercises was included into the process of training. While the positive effect of stretching exercises on flexibility is known, there is evidence that the dynamics of spatial and time orientation parameters are also improved. In separate education and training exercises the preparatory part (warming up) completely consisted of stretching of different body parts which led to a high emotional recovery among those trained, as well as improvement in the body balance criteria in five samples. This system was used to prepare the national team for international competitions and had a positive impact on reaching the final goal.
