“…The whole duration of a match includes the time from start to end of it, and the legal time is now two 3 minutes with 30 seconds rest between. The latter could take shorter under four conditions, including technical superiority (a difference greater than 8 points in GR and 10 points in FS), victory by fall, injury, and/or disqualification of one of the wrestlers [12]. The result of this study showed a significant difference between GR and FS regarding the legal time which illustrated that in general FS matches took shorter than GR ones (FS: 5.02±1.08 vs. GR: 5.41±1.36).…”

“…More specifically, in the active part of these sports energy is produced by anaerobic pathways (ATP and LAC), whereas they strongly rely on aerobic energy system during the short recovery periods between actions [10]. To the best of our knowledge, the only study which determined the relative contribution of the energy systems in wrestling is an investigation conducted by Mirzaei et al, in which they also showed that there were significant differences between GR and FS in the employment percentage of each energy system [12].…”

“…These information deliver important benefits to coaches in order to incorporate this knowledge into their training routines and improve their athletes' technical and tactical acquisition [13]. For instance, Mirzaei et al, showed that FS wrestlers generally scored more points than what GR wrestlers did in the 2015 WCh, and the total number of 1-and 2-point scores was grater in FS while that of 4-and 5-point scores was greater in GR [12]. It is also noteworthy to mention that all these technical and tactical variables are significantly influenced by rule changes which usually happen after each Olympic Games [12].…”

Background and study aim. The purpose of this study was to determine the relative contribution of energy systems in a freestyle (FS) and a Greco-Roman (GR) wrestling match, quantity and quality of obtained scores, and the competition efficiency of winners in the 2017 Wrestling World Championships (WCh) through analysing the recorded videos of all the matches of this event. Material and method. The materials of the present study were 295 FS and 266 GR recorded videos of the 2017 WCh, a multimedia player (lap top) for watching and analysing them, and a chronometer for recording the different duration of activities happening during these matches. In addition, special papers were designed in advance to make sure that all the required data were recorded properly. Result. The percentages of ATP-PC (ATP), lactic (LAC), and aerobic (AERO) energy systems were 6.66, 62.74, and 30.60 in FS, and 5.94, 67.53, and 26.53 in GR. Quantity and quality analysis of scores showed that FS wrestlers significantly scored more 1- and 4-point, while GR wrestlers were superior regarding the quality 2-point. The average competition efficiency of gold medallists was 18/43±4/67 in FS and 15/87±3/18 in GR which were statistically significantly greater than that of all other placers. Conclusion. This study showed the dominance of LAC in a wrestling match in both styles, although their relative contribution was significantly different between styles. In addition, FS wrestlers significantly scored more points, and Gold medallists demonstrated the greatest average competition efficiency compared to other medallists.

“…The wrestling has anaerobic and aerobic energy systems, like many other sports (Karnincic, Tocilj, Uljevic, & Erceg, 2009;Mirzaei, Moghaddam, & Abadi, 2017). While the anaerobic system provides maximum power explosion during the match or training, the aerobic system is effective in the effort and improvement of the athletes during the match.…”

Physical development, fitness and motor skills are the most important components in determining the performance and success of wrestlers, with wrestling largely dependent on overall body strength and relatively short match times. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the relationships between the physical and motor characteristics of young wrestlers in Sivas, Turkey. The study conducted on 86 male freestyle wrestlers aged 10 to 21 years representing urban and rural areas. The sample was analyzed by age groups; 10 to 14 years olds, 15 to 17 years olds and 18 to 21 years olds due to the skill level of the United World Wrestling (UWW) sport categories. Anthropometric measurements (height, weight, skin folds and body composition) as well as motor tests (speed, flexibility and durability) were performed and the data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23. The results showed that physical properties were correlated significantly with motor features and affected them significantly. According to standardized regression coefficients (β), particularly muscle mass and free fat mass values were presented significant relationships on the anthropometric characters for all of age groups. As a conclusion, wrestlers from all age groups have presented with high level of fat mass, muscle mass and fat free mass where motor and physical properties are highly correlated among the wresting athletes in accordance with the special traning methods.

Ulupınar, S, Özbay, S, Genc ¸o glu, C, and İnce, İ. Performance differences between Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestlers: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Strength Cond Res 35(11): 3270-3279, 2021-This systematic review and metaanalysis aims to summarize evidence on performance differences between Greco-Roman (GR) and freestyle (Fr) wrestlers. Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria (91 individual data and a total of 752 wrestlers). The analysis of handgrip strength comprised 9 outcomes from 5 studies with no significant difference between GR and Fr wrestlers. The analysis of isometric (back or leg) strength comprised 15 outcomes from 6 studies with a significant effect favoring GR wrestlers. The analysis of muscle power comprised 15 outcomes from 5 studies with a significant effect favoring GR wrestlers. The analysis of strength endurance comprised 4 outcomes from 3 studies with no significant difference between GR and Fr wrestlers. The analysis of anaerobic capacity and power comprised 6 outcomes from 3 studies with no significant difference between GR and Fr wrestlers. The analysis of speed comprised 19 outcomes from 7 studies with a significant effect favoring GR wrestlers. The analysis of flexibility comprised 20 outcomes from 6 studies with a significant effect favoring Fr wrestlers. This study indicated that GR wrestlers had greater isometric strength, muscle power, and speed performance, but Fr wrestlers had greater flexibility. Given the significant effect sizes favoring GR wrestlers, it is possible that they focused on training strategies to improve physical strength-power performance. However, considering the significant effect size favoring Fr wrestlers, it is possible that they focused on training strategies to improve flexibility because Fr wrestling techniques require a larger range of motion during both attack and defense.
