The analysis of previous studies which concerning to sport wrestling showed that cognitive functions supported of wrestler’s ability to adequate response on the active from enemy in competition fight. Therefore there is a need to study the cognitive functions of wrestlers that contribute to a decision making during competition activity.Purpose: to study the characteristics to the manifestation of cognitive functions in skilled wrestlers. The 31 skilled wrestlers, age 14–16 were examined. All of the athletes have training in sport club Kremenchyk city. For asses of cognitive functions were used the two tests: on estimate of decision making time and assessing of non-verbal intelligence by Raven’s Progressive Matrices. In addition the perception stress scale (PSS) was used. The athletes were divided into two groups according to the level of subjective perception of stress. The results of the study reveled a significant difference between athlete’s groups by meanings of productively and efficacy in procession non-verbal information. In wrestlers with moderate perception of stress the productively of procession non-verbal information are significant higher than in group of wrestlers with low stress perception. The conducted correlation analysis establishes the presence of compensatory mechanism on prevention of level of non- verbal intelligence in wrestlers. The presents of moderate stress perception in skilled wrestlers is a sign of adequate sense of the external of the environment. This activates the athletes’ ability to make optimal decisions by engaging mechanisms for fast and high-quality perception and processing of non-verbal information.
