Introduction Decision-making is an important problem in modern sports psychology (Raab & Araújo, 2019). Time of decision-making is of great importance in combat sports (Korobeynikov et al., 2022). Martial arts are characterized by the manifestation of complex motor skills in a competitive fight. The athlete must adequately perceive the opponent`s activities and implement motor skills (Russo, Ottoboni, 2019). The research aimed to study decision-making and motor control in elite wrestlers. Methods 34 elite athletes were examined. The complex method of decision-making and the effectiveness of the motor skills of elite wrestlers were assessed. Computer equipment "Multipsychometer-05" was used. Sensorimotor reaction, balance of nervous processes, non-verbal intelligence, decision-making time, and time it took to implement specific skills are assessed. Results All athletes were divided into fast ability (18 persons) and low ability (16 persons) to decision-making. The results showed that athletes with quick decision-making perceive non-verbal information faster and have better time and quality indicators for performing special skills. In addition, fast decision-makers show greater impulsivity and a predominance of nervous system arousal. The speed of decision-making among elite wrestlers corresponds to an increase in arousal and impulsiveness. This contributes to better implementation of special motor skills. Conclusions The ability to make decisions contributes to the implementation of motor skills in elite wrestlers.
