Introduction. The work studied specifics of tactical training inOlympic combat sports. According to the current researches,technical and tactical training is the basis of athletes’ training,but in most papers and official documents, tactical training isnot substantiated. Aim of Study. This study aimed to analyzethe practical experience of tactical training performed by eliteathletes in Olympic combat sports. Material and Methods.We have recruited 40 coaches. Their average experience wasalmost 15 years. Experts had to rank the components of tacticaltraining such as directions, means, and methods of tacticaltraining, control of tactical preparedness, components of tacticalknowledge. Results. In some questions expert’s opinions weresimilar, but in other questions, they were different inside groupsand between them. Average and strong concordance (p < 0.05)was found in such groups of experts: fencing – about directionsof tactical training (0.56); verbal, visual and practical methods(0.53; 0.63; 0.62 respectively); means and methods of control(0.53); wrestling – about directions and practical methods(0.74 and 0.59 respectively); boxing – only about practicalmethods (0.56); taekwondo – about directions (0.58); verbal,visual and practical methods (0.55; 0.64; 0.73 respectively); meansand methods of control (0.64); karate – about verbal, visual andpractical methods (0.62; 0.64; 0.70 respectively); means andmethods of control (0.72); information blocks “Basics of Tacticsin Sports” (0.55) and “Competition performance” (0.61). In judo,concordance was weak in all questions (0.41-0.45). Conclusions.The general algorithm of tactical training of elite athletes consistsof six steps and is aimed to prepare for the main competitionof the year (the Olympic Games or World Championship). Thetasks are to choose an effective strategy; to develop the mosteffective tactical actions against the main rivals; to train to makecorrect decisions during the bout; to learn how to predict theopponent’s actions.
