Through a systematic review of 26 scientific literatures, it examines how observational, constructivist, and social and experiential learning theories compare with traditional theories in terms of effectiveness and applicability. The results reveal that 80% of the reviewed literatures support the superiority of observational, constructivist, and experiential theories. These theories are particularly effective in promoting deep and adaptable learning, enabling athletes to internalize and apply technical skills in real combat situations more effectively. The study’s conclusions suggest that training programs in combat sports should integrate teaching methods based on constructivism and experiential learning to maximize learning effectiveness.

The tactic today constitutes a controversy by questioning whether it is taught or learned through practice. In the sports area of the municipality of Las Tunas, the practitioners of the pioneer category manifest through the limits, limitations related to the distance, the moment and preparation of the entrances for the attack, implying insufficiencies in the tactical preparation process. The population of 20 practitioners and the sample was 10 Greco-Roman wrestlers, representing 50%. The scientific problem: how to enhance the tactical abi...
