“…The important place among them is occupied by indices, in particular, the determination of the relative strength of the forearm muscles. Silva et al (2009) investigated the electromyographic activity of muscles involved in armwrestling. It was determined the dependence of the muscles' condition on the level of load and the position of the limb.…”

The purpose of this study was a comparative analysis of the physical development of armwrestlers with different levels of sports mastery applying the index method. Participants: 37 athletes were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 (n = 17, age -18.94 ± 0.57 years), qualificationfrom beginners to 1 rank athletes. Group 2 (n = 20) age -25.60 ± 1.10 years), qualification -from the candidate for the master of sports to the international master of sport.19 anthropometric indices were applied for the analysis. Results: average results dominated by body mass index. The athletes with a shoulder width index below the norm prevailed in group 1. Erisman index for the majority of participants in group 2 complied with the standards. The athletes with a strong body build prevailed by Pignet index. The average Livi index is set in 40-47% of athletes. All athletes had a hypersthenic body build by Vervek index. Qualified athletes demonstrated the significant increase in body mass index, shoulder width, Erisman index, Livi index, Vervek index, body surface and relative body surface, limb segment mass and conditional moments of the force of limb segments strength. It was impossible to determine any significant differences between the groups by power and vital indices. Conclusions: It was confirmed the effectiveness of the physical development analysis of armwrestling athletes by indexes. Qualified athletes are characterized by high index values demonstrated muscle development. The mass indices and conditional moments of force of the limb segments strength demonstrate the predictors of success.

“…Armwrestling involves primary (medial rotation of the upper arm, pronation of the forearm and hand, flexion of the wrist) and secondary (flexion of the arm and forearm) movements, which recruit the participation of some muscles, such as Pectoralis Major (PM), Biceps Brachii (BB), Pronator Teres (PT) and Flexor Carpi Ulnaris (FCU) muscles. In fact, the PM and FCU muscles participate as agonists in the simulated armwrestling whereas the BB and PT muscles seem to perform secondary functions (Silva et al, 2009). Besides the muscle strength, arm wrestlers also use different techniques like top-roll and hook.…”

SUMMARY:The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictors contributing to be in the first three places with right and left arm in armwrestling. Seventy-three male senior armwrestlers competed in Turkish National Championship voluntarily participated in this study. Some participants competed with both arms. Two samples were composed of according to the participant competition category, for right (69 participants) and left arm (65 participants). The data were collected from eight different weight classes. Handgrip strength, auditory reaction time, forearm length, and forearm circumference were determined as the predictors. All the measurements were taken after weigh-ins had been done and before the first day of national championship competition. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to predict whether a competitor in armwrestling would be in the first three places either with right or left arm, to be a winner or non-winner. Relative handgrip strength was found a significant predictor for both right and left arm ranking (p < 0.05). Auditory reaction time was found a significant predictor only for right arm ranking (p < 0.05) and forearm circumference was found a significant predictor only for left arm ranking (p < 0.05). These results suggest that strength can be viewed as the main predictor in left arm ranking; however, auditory reaction time is also an important factor to be in the first three places in right arm ranking. Thus, competitors should also focus to improve this perceptual skill.

“…An electromyographic study in simulated conditions confirmed that pectoralis major and flexor carpi ulnaris are the agonists while biceps brachii and pronator teres play a secondary role. It was also seen that the electrical activity depended on the load and the position of the upper limb 26 . The importance of the pectoralis major was also confirmed in another kinematic and electromyographic analysis where it showed a higher muscle activity in the winning position than in the losing position 21 .…”

Introduction: Humeral shaft fractures are the most common injury sustained in arm wrestling, and its various biomechanical, anatomical, kinematic and electromyographic aspects have been studied and reported. We present a series of six cases of humeral shaft fractures in the arm wrestlers and a review of basic science studies to determine the factors contributing to their causation. Materials and methods: Six humeral shaft fractures associated with arm wrestling were treated between December 2018 and January 2020. The medical records and radiographs were retrospectively reviewed. In addition, the characteristics of the patients, their opponents, and the fractures were noted in a pre-designed data sheet. Results: There were six men with an average age of 27.5 years (SD ± 8.9). All were amateurs who were occasional arm wrestlers. Three fractures each were sustained in the sitting and standing position, four in the losing phase, one in the winning phase, and one in the stalling phase. The dominant side humerus was involved in all but one case. The fracture types were 12-A1 (n=4); 12-B1 (n=1); 12-A2 (n=1). Three fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation, while three were treated conservatively with satisfactory healing. Conclusion: Humeral shaft fractures in arm wrestling are common in amateurs. There is no association of the fracture with the position of the players or the phase of the match. However, arm wrestlers should be aware of this complication and should receive proper guidance to reduce the risk of humeral shaft fractures.
