Introduction and Objective: The goal of this study is to examine the effects of rapid weight loss on the overall strength of young male wrestlers. Methods: The study participants consisted of wrestlers aged 17-18 who competed in group competitions held in 5 cities in Turkey between March 31st and April 2nd, 2017. The participants included 6 Greco-Roman wrestlers in group competitions in Elazığ and 7 free-style wrestlers, for a total of 13 wrestlers. The first set of measurements of the athletes was taken 2 weeks before the competition, and the second set of measurements was made 1 day prior to competing. The measurements taken were weight, right and left hand grip strength, back strength, leg strength, vertical jump height, and the Cooper test. The statistical package program SPSS 17 was used to analyze the data. A value of p < .05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Among the wrestlers participating in the study, significant differences were observed in weight, vertical jump height, back strength, leg strength, and the Cooper test results when compared to the pre-study measurements (p < .05). For vertical jump height, the average of the first measurement was 32.92 and that of the second measurement was 31.07, resulting in a statistically significant difference (p < .05). The difference in averages for the Cooper test was also statistically significant, with an average of 2646.1 obtained for the first test and 2467.6 for the second test (p < .05). Conclusion: Rapid weight loss in wrestlers has an adverse effect on their overall strength, as determined using several parameters.

A Study on the Weight Losses of Wrestlers and the Impacts of Their Reduced Weight on Their Performance2018 •
The study has been conducted to reveal the weight losses of the sportspeople involved with wrestling and the impacts of their reduced weight on them. The population of the study consists of the wrestlers who competed in category (A) in the intercollegiate Turkey Wrestling Championship 2016 and the sampling group is constituted by 92 wrestlers chosen by way of the random sampling method. A questionnaire regarding the objective of the study has been developed. The reliability of the questionnaire was ensured through the Cronbach’s Alpha method. Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient of the questionnaire was found as 0,70. The questionnaire developed was caused to be filled in by the one-to-one interviewed individuals determined by means of a random sampling method. For the statistical determination of the frequency (%), crosstabs, and differences, Chi-Square (X 2 ) test operations were used. In the determination of the difference between the variables, 0,05 was accepted as the confi...

The Effect of Weight Loss on Some Physical Fitness Factors of WrestlersThe main purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of weight loss on some physical fitness factors of wrestlers. So thirty wrestlers were voluntarily selected and randomly divided into two groups (n=15); active and sauna groups. They participated in some motor fitness factors tests such as; Sargent tests to measure the anaerobic acid-alkaline power, chest press for strength measurements, dynamic balance and coordination. We found that acute dehydration in the active group had a significant effect on strength, balance and coordination, but did not have a significant effect on strength. In sauna group, the effects of acute dehydration on strength and balance were significant but did not have a significant effect on strength.

Assessment of The Relationships between Physical and Motor Features of Young Wrestlers from TurkeyAlthough there is some documented evidence that a wrestler is physically impacted by the rigors of a season, findings for characteristics such as body composition, strength, and power in collegiate and high school wrestlers vary widely. Despite significant weight losses, some authors report increases in performance, others find decreases, and some no changes at all. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to examine the extant literature and provide a rationale for the differences in wrestler strength-to-weight (STW) ratios and physical effects of weight loss. The review suggests that there are alternative explanations for decreases in performance found in the literature such as overtraining and a lack of quality strength and conditioning programming. To that end, it is recommended that coaches implement well-designed nutritional and strength and conditioning plans to maximize their athletes' performance. Introduction It is common practice for wrestlers to lose weight in order to compete in lower weight classes.

The relationship between some physical fitness characteristics and body composition of elite wrestlers2019 •
The aim of present study was to investigate the relationship between elite wrestlers' body composition and static strength, anaerobic power and static balance characteristics. Eleven elite male freestyle wrestlers (age = 18.8 ± 1.1 years, height = 170.9 ± 5.3 cm, weight = 75.2 ± 9.6 kg, BMI = 25.7 ± 2.4 kg/m2) who struggle in Turkish Wrestling Super League from Bursa Metropolitan Municipality Sports Club, voluntary participated. Subjects’ height, weight, body composition, balance (Peri Length 443.1 ± 140.6 cm, Aria Gap P 20.6 ± 12.9 cm), anaerobic power (106.3 ± 16.8 kg/m/sec), back strength (140.2 ± 30.7 kg) and grip strength (47.6 ± 6.4 kg) test were measured. Pearson correlation coefficient were performed to determine the relationship between variables. In conclusion, anaerobic power, strength and balance are related to body composition components such as height, body weight, BMI, arm and leg fat %, muscle mass and body weight.
Background: Every country has distinctive sports that is based on the national traditions and the results are reflected in various international achievements."Georgian Wrestling" is one of such types of sports for Georgia. Sportslinked to the mentioned typeare the most popular and productive sports in Georgia.Georgian athletes are very successful in Judo, Sambo, Greco-Roman and Freestyle wrestling.The paper analyzes the results of athletes by age changes, taking into account the dynamics of their weight categories and the corresponding height change. Juniors were analyzed based on annual data over four years.The collected data reflect the weight change of athletes, the age-related change in weight-to-height ratio. Conclusion: One of the most important influences on the stability of a wrestler's sporting results is their individual anthropometric (height, weight, body proportions) characteristics, which, on the one hand, represent the body fat percentage and on the other hand, individual psychophysiological factors.For the career growth of a young, promising athlete, it is important to select the appropriate weight for their height, which will have a positive impact on improving biomechanical parameters.

Weight loss and wrestling training: effects on nutrition, growth, maturation, body composition, and strength1997 •
Roemmich, James N., and Wayne E. Sinning. Weight loss and wrestling training: effects on nutrition, growth, maturation, body composition, and strength. J. Appl. Physiol. 82(6): 1751–1759, 1997.—Adolescent wrestlers ( n = 9, 15.4 yr) and recreationally active control adolescent males ( n = 7, 15.7 yr) were measured before, at the end (late season), and 3.5–4 mo after a wrestling season to assess the influence of dietary restriction on growth, maturation, body composition, protein nutrition, and muscular strength. Controls consumed adequate amounts of energy, carbohydrate (CHO), protein, and fat, and demonstrated normal gains in weight, fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM). Wrestlers consumed a high-CHO (61 ± 2% kcal), low-fat (24 ± 2% kcal) diet during the season but did not consume adequate energy (24.7 ± 3.5 kcal ⋅ kg−1 ⋅ day−1) or protein (0.9 g ⋅ kg−1 ⋅ day−1). Deficient dietary intake reduced prealbumin levels (26.0 ± 1.9 vs. 20.2 ± 0.9 mg/dl) and slowed the accrual of lean arm...
