“…There were 32 wrestlers aging 18-33 taking part in his study. Through his study some variables such as anthropometric weight, height, sitting height, some girth and body composition were measured and the minimum amount of body fat % was 5 [1,18]. Mirzaei et al described the freestyle young elite wrestlers' profile and calculated their body fat % as 10.6±3.8 [3].…”

Abstract.Aim: This study investigated the association between motor performance and somatic type, anthropometric, body composition, physiologic and physical fitness profile in young wrestlers. Material: 16 young wrestlers aging 16-19 with a 4-year-experience of taking part in national championships were selected for the study. Following the standard methods in the testing center of Alborz province some tests like aerobic power, muscular endurance, flexibility and agility speed tests and 1RM were taken to integrate the participants. Also, it should be noted that the participants' height, weight, the girth of thigh, elbow, calf and arm and skin thickness were measured. Conclusion:As the present study illustrates, Somatotype of the Endomorphs, Mesomorphs and Ectomorphs were the same. As a result, coaches can plan wrestlers' training programs and review of techniques based on anthropometric and physiologic data driven from their sports performances.Besides, wrestlers could be wellinformed about their performance. Moreover, aforesaid information could be beneficial to wrestling federations and all other organizations contributing the wrestling federation while holding talent identification programs and recognizing young wrestlers.

“…Wrestling is one of the most challenging competitive and anaerobic sports because of its stress on metabolic systems [1]. Therefore, the intensity of the wrestling match can determine muscle energy resources and the amount of all three resources consumed.…”

Abstract. Purpose: to study interconnections of students' morphological functional indicators and their influence on level of sportsmanship. Material: in the research 17 students, practicing martial arts, participated. 62 indicators were determined: anthropometrical, goniometrical criteria of arms joints' status; tapping test and maximal frequency of grabs in impulse mode. Results: we found that maximal contribution in system is made by hand dynamometry of right and left hands, body length and mass, chest circumference, width of shoulders; maximal frequency of grabs by right and left hands. It was confirmed that there are correlations between students' morphological functional indicators. The highest contribution to formation of functional system is characteristic for anthropometric indicators. Results of maximal grabs in impulse mode made rather sufficient contribution in system's formation that is confirmed by great quantity of correlations. Analysis of character, strength and orientation of correlations witnesses about informative potential of this test and permits to recommend it as screening for control of sportsmen's state. Conclusions: we determined that indicators of hand dynamometry system formation illustrate that for martial arts wrestlers strong grab was very important. It is ensured by strength of hand muscles.

“…The other study conducted on young wrestlers the almost the same leg PP expressed as Watt/kg in FS (13.2) and GRS (13.5), but average relative power was significantly higher in GRS (7.1 vs 6.8). Moreover, these GRS wrestlers generated significantly higher arm power [29]. Contrary to these results among the other elite wrestlers there were no style-related differences neither in relative (per FFM) average power nor in relative PP [30].…”

Background. Wrestling has very long tradition as a combat sport. The wresting competitions were played during the ancient Olympic Games. In the modern Olympic Games wresting is represented by two styles, free (FS) and Greco-Roman (GRS) style. There are differ regarding task structures, but in both cases physiological and physical demands are very high. We sought to check, whether wrestlers` anaerobic leg power and capacity are related to the wrestling style.Material and methods. Juvenile male FS (n=20) and GRS (n=22) of the similar anthropometric and demographic characteristics were subjected to perform Wingate test(30s). Absolute values of relative peak power (PP) , total work output (WO), time to PP (T att) and time sustained of at least 97.5 % of PP (Tsus). Resting blood cortisol and testosterone levels were determined on the day of testing.Results. Both groups demonstrated almost the same values of PP, WO and hormonal status. The only slight differences regarded kinematic data. GRS wrestlers demonstrated shorter (by 16.4%) T att and longer (by 13,3%) T sus. Weak correlations were found between hormones and biomechanical variables.Conclusion. Type of wresting style does not affect anaerobic leg performance if the both groups of athletes do not differ in demographic and anthropometric characteristics.
