Comparative Analysis of Adaptive Changes in Immunoendocrine and Physiological Responses to High-Intensity Sprint Interval Training with Progressive and Nonprogressive Loads in Young Wrestlers.

The objective of this study was to explore the effects of a 7-week short sprint interval training (SSIT) with differing in programming volume-loads including progressive (P-SSIT) and nonprogressive (NP-SSIT) approaches on the immunoendocrine, physical fitness attributes and physiological parameters in male wrestlers during the pre-season. Thirty young freestyle wrestlers at the collegiate national-level were included in the study and were divided into three groups: P-SSIT (n = 10), NP-SSIT (n = 10), and an active control group (n = 10). The wrestlers engaged in their specific wrestling training three days weekly, while the P-SSIT and NP-SSIT groups underwent a 7-week SSIT, with scheduling in either progressed or nonprogressed volume-based overloads, three times per week. Before and after the intervention, various aspects of physical fitness (such as 20-m sprint, 4×9-m shuttle run, and maximal strength) and physiological parameters (including cardiorespiratory fitness and anaerobic power output), as well as immunoendocrine responses (such as immunoglobulin-A, testosterone, and cortisol) were measured. Following the training intervention, the control group did not show any significant changes in the variable measured; however, both the P-SSIT and NP-SSIT groups experienced significant improvements (p = 0.001) in physical fitness attributes and physiological parameters with effect sizes ranging from small to very large, and also more adaptive responses compared with control group (p < 0.05). In addition, there were no statistically significant changes observed among the P-SSIT and NP-SSIT groups in terms of immunoendocrine response to training, and physical fitness, as well as physiological parameters (p > 0.05). In conclusion, neither the progressed nor nonprogressed approaches of SSIT demonstrated superior effects on adaptations compared to one another. Therefore, it is recommended for strength and conditioning coaches in wrestling to incorporate both P-SSIT and NP-SSIT into their annual training plan, especially during the pre-season phase, to maximize the physical fitness and physiological parameters of their wrestlers while minimizing changes in immunoendocrine responses.

Comparative analysis of indicators of physical fitness of freestyle wrestlers at the stage of initial training

The sufficient level of general physical fitness of freestyle wrestlers allows them to form the foundation of versatile and proportional development of the physiological systems and organs of children and adolescents. To properly build the educational and training process, it is necessary to regularly and timely control and analyze the general physical, special physical, and psychophysiological fitness of wrestlers. This requires improving the system of sports training in freestyle wrestling through scientific substantiation of more effective methods of improving the athlete's preparedness. Solving this problem is possible only after enriching existing and developing new training programs for wrestlers. The research and practical experience of leading specialists is aimed at modernizing and improving the training process of highly qualified athletes, while the problem of improving the physical and special training of athletes at the initial stages remains relevant today and requires in-depth study.&#x0D; The purpose of the study was to determine the indicators of general physical fitness of young wrestlers at the stage of initial training during training according to the generally accepted program and when the coach involves additional functional sets of exercises.&#x0D; The research was conducted among children 8-10 years old engaged in freestyle wrestling in groups of primary training: the I-group of children trained according to a standard generally accepted training program, the II-group athletes trained according to the coach’s author’s methodology, which included additional performance of functional sets of exercises for improvement of both general and special physical training using a large number of exercises, games and game tasks of varying coordination complexity.&#x0D; In the work, a comparative analysis of the indicators of physical fitness of young wrestlers of both groups of initial training, obtained as a result of control standards, was carried out. The nature of positive changes in these indicators during control tests among wrestlers of the II group was determined. According to the results of the experiment, it can be stated that the training effect should be aimed at improving all components of physical and technical training.

The Effect of a Training Program Using High-Intensity Interval Training on Several Physiological Variables Among Young Wrestlers

This study aimed to examine the effects of a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program on the physiological variables of young wrestlers. The significance of this study lies in its potential to identify effective training strategies to enhance the physiological capabilities of wrestlers, which are crucial for optimal performance. Despite the potential benefits of HIIT, research on its effects on young wrestlers is limited. The study utilized a pre- and post-test experimental design involving 14 young wrestlers from the Zakho Sports Club who were divided into control and experimental groups, each comprising seven wrestlers. The experimental group underwent a 9-week HIIT program, whereas the control group underwent a traditional training program. The physiological variables assessed included blood pressure, heart rate, lactic acid concentration, and anaerobic and aerobic powers. The results indicated significant improvements in the experimental group in terms of resting heart rate, heart rate after effort, lactic acid concentration, and aerobic power but not in blood pressure or anaerobic power. These findings confirm that HIIT can effectively enhance the physiological efficiency of young athletes and provide valuable methodological contributions to training programs for young wrestlers. This research demonstrates that HIIT effectively enhances athletes' physiological capacity and technical performance. This conclusion validates the idea that customized high-intensity and interval-based training can lead to substantial and advantageous physiological improvements in young wrestlers.

Artificial Intelligence Program for Predicting Wrestlers' Sports Performances.

To date, there are conflicting opinions about the effectiveness of the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies in sports. In this regard, the purpose of the study was to develop and integrate an intellectual program for predicting competitive success into the process of selecting wrestlers to increase its effectiveness. The authors developed a program for predicting the sports performance of wrestlers on the basis of artificial intelligence technology. To implement the study, the individual data of Greco-Roman wrestlers (n = 72) were collected and processed on 36 comparison traits, ranked into categories according to three key areas: sports space, hereditary data and individual achievements. As a result of data processing through means of deep neural networks and machine learning algorithms, two prediction categories were identified: athletes who performed at the sport rank or the highest standard and athletes who did not achieve this standard. Control testing of the created program showed only 11% of error probability in predicting a given wrestler's competitive performance. As for the functionality of the program in the area of classification of the features by category, the authors' artificial intelligence program with 100% probability identified key categories of traits that reliably affect the results of the future sports performance of a young wrestler. Thus, the use of neural networks and machine learning algorithms, according to the results of the study, improves the quality of sports selection, which will allow further timely individualization and improvement of the training process of young wrestlers.

Relationship Between Training Load, Neuromuscular Fatigue, and Daily Well-Being in Elite Young Wrestlers

ABSTRACT Purpose: This study investigated acute workload (wAW), chronic workload (wCW), acute: chronic workload ratio (wACWR), training monotony (wTM), perceived load training strain indicators (wTS), and countermove- ment jump (CMJ) as indicators of wellness in one season and defined weekly variations. In addition, we analyzed the relationships between training load measurements and weekly reports. Methods: 16 elite young wrestlers were monitored daily with individual observations for 46 consecutive weeks throughout the season. Training load was obtained using the session rating of perceived effort. wSleep, wStress, wFatigue & wMuscle Soreness well-being were monitored daily using the Hooper index. Results: As a result of the analysis, it was found that there is a moderate relationship (r = 0.51, p = .003) between ACWR and w mean load (A.U.) and a high relationship (r = 0.81, p < .001) between monotony and strain.Conclusion: All variables other than ACWR, w mean load, strain, and monotony presented small and statistically insignificant relationships. These results provide coaches and practitioners with new insights into perceived loads and health changes during a season at the elite youth level.

What Determines the Competitive Success of Young Croatian Wrestlers: Anthropometric Indices, Generic or Specific Fitness Performance?

Identifying factors influencing wrestling performance is important for determining which capacities should be developed the most. This research aimed to investigate whether anthropometric indices, generic fitness, and specific fitness performance determine the competitive success of young wrestlers. This research included 49 Croatian Greco-Roman male wrestlers aged 17.75 ± 1.51 years. Variables included training and competing experience, anthropometric indices, generic fitness (countermovement jump and handgrip strength), and specific wrestling fitness test (SWFT). Wrestlers were separated into medallists and non-medallists (i.e., wrestlers who won a medal at the previous National Championship and wrestlers who did not win a medal, respectively). The t-test for independent samples was used to determine the differences between the two categories in all variables. Moreover, discriminant analysis was performed to identify differences in a multivariate manner. Medallists and non-medallists did not differ in anthropometric indices and wrestling experience. Medallists had better results in the countermovement jump (t = 2.55, p < 0.01), handgrip strength (t = 2.77, p < 0.01), and SWFT performance (t = 2.29, p < 0.05) than non-medallists. The discriminant analysis confirmed that performance categories differed in generic and specific fitness tests (Wilks' Lambda = 0.73, p < 0.05). It could be suggested that coaches should develop both the generic and specific fitness of their wrestlers to become more successful at competitions.

FEATURES OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF MOVEMENT CONTROL ABILITIES IN VARIOUS KINDS OF WRESTLING

Main directions of the research in wrestling are related to the clarification of technical, physical, psychological preparation of athletes, early specialization, competitive activity and many other issues. Today, the problem of wrestlers’ movement control in connection with beginners and qualified athletes needs to be studied. The aim of the research is to identify the characteristics of the development of the ability to manage young Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestlers’ movements. It was revealed that the main results of the evaluation of short and long segments of Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestlers were not significantly different from each other. The differences between the data of the same characteristics of the athletes of the two kinds of wrestling are small, unreliable and amount to 0.05 and 0.04 seconds, respectively. No significant differences were found between Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestlers in wrist and torso muscle control data. In both kinds of wrestling, young athletes control the muscular movements of the wrist more precisely than of the torso. This is most evident in the data of Greco-Roman wrestlers. There were no significant differences between short and long segments of time, as well as wrist and torso muscle control indicators of young Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestlers. It was revealed that as compared to schoolchildren of the same age who do not do sports, young wrestlers control short and long periods more accurately, as well as wrist muscle strength, except for freestyle wrestlers.

Teaching wrestling at school: proposal of a new pedagogical approach based on games for learning of technical moves

Background and Study Aim. The purpose of this study was to find the effect of the game based on educational method and technical approach on the performance of legs attacks in free-style wrestling.&#x0D; Material and Methods. The type of research was semi-experimental. Participants included 20 boys’ students who were divided into two groups based on the game-based approach (10) and technical training (10). The teaching unit was a format of 12 lessons over 4 weeks (2 days per week). Each lesson lasted 60 minutes. At the end of each training session, the participants played benchmark bouts, one on one, for 2 x 6 minutes. The data were analyzed using SPSS 16 software at a significance level of 0.05.&#x0D; Results. The results showed that both the game-based and technical approach groups had a significant improvement in successful leg attacks in free-style wrestling. With regard to the preparation of leg attacks, there was no improvement for the technical approach group. However, the game-based group had a significant improvement in the total number of attacks compared to the technical group.&#x0D; Conclusions. The results suggest that the use of a game-based educational method can significantly increase the important factors of wrestling performance related to leg attacks in young wrestlers. Teachers can connect actions from other technical movements from the same family of leg attacks.

THE COMPARISON OF ESTIMATED BODY FATNESS WITH TWO DIFFERENT FIELD METHODS IN YOUNG WRESTLERS

Practical body composition equations developed up to now are open to testing on different groups of athletes. The purpose of the study was to compare the estimation of body composition with two different equations, using skinfold and body neck and waist circumference in young wrestlers. One hundred and ten wrestlers (age:14.5 ± 1.2 years) voluntarily participated in the study and were divided into two categories based on body weight percentile scores (thin and heavy). Body composition analyses were determined by using two field methods, one of these was the skinfold method including the abdomen, subscapular, and triceps regions, and the other method was the indirect body composition determination using waist, and neck circumferences using the equations. The results showed that there were significant differences between the calculation results of equations for both the thin group and also heavy group. However, while the rate of error difference in the calculations of the two equations obtained from skinfold and body circumference measurements was low in the heavy group (Standard error of mean (SEM) Range; 2.6 %BF – Difference 16.5%), it was significantly higher in the thin group (SEM Range; 4.7 %BF - Difference 51.6%). The Skinfold equation was significantly underestimated for both groups when compared to the circumferential equation results. The findings showed that the field methods used in this study could be insufficient and, misleading to determine the body composition of young candidate wrestlers.

The effect of Inflamma-X supplementation on oxidative stress and antioxidant defense system markers following of SWPT-SWFT combination Test in young wrestlers

زمینه و هدف: کشتی ورزشی برخوردی با انقباض‌های برون‌گرای مکرر و با شدت بالاست. چنین فعالیت‌هایی که با انقباض‌های برون‌گرای شدید انجام می‌گیرد، با اختلالات مکانیکی و متابولیکی همراه است. چنین شدت بالایی از فعالیت در کشتی به‌طور چشمگیری به تولید ناگهانی گونه‌های اکسیژن واکنش‌پذیر بنیان‌های آزاد در حین رقابت و بازیافت پس از هر مسابقه منجر می‌شود، به‌طوری‌که حتی ممکن است طی انجام این دسته از فعالیت‌ها، ذخیرة ضداکسایشی به‌شدت کاسته و تخلیه شود و به‌دنبال ناکارامدی دستگاه اکسایشی، فشار اکسایشی رخ دهد که کاهش عملکرد ورزشی را در پی دارد و با تسریع بروز خستگی همراه می‌شود. ازاین‌رو پژوهش حاضر با هدف تعیین تأثیر مکمل‌دهی کوتاه‌مدت اینفلاما ایکس بر شاخص‌های فشار اکسایشی و دستگاه دفاع ضداکسایشی پس از اجرای دو دوره پشت سر هم آزمون ترکیبی SWPT-SWFTدر کشتی‌گیران جوان انجام گرفت.مواد و روش‌ها: از بین داوطلبان واجد شرایط، ۲۴ کشتی‌گیر جوان به‌صورت تصادفی به دو گروه مکمل-تمرین (۱۲ نفر) و دارونما-تمرین (۱۲ نفر) تقسیم شدند. از کشتی‌گیران در گروه مکمل–تمرین درخواست شد به مدت ده روز تا پیش از اجرای آزمون ترکیبی، روزانه دو عدد مکمل اینفلاما ایکس 15 میلی‌گرمی را به‌صورت ناشتا به‌همراه 200 میلی‌لیتر آب مصرف کنند. گروه دارونما نیز قرص‌های نشاسته با همان مقدار و تعداد گروه مکمل- تمرین دریافت کردند. آزمون ترکیبی SWFT-SWPT شامل دو آزمون عملکردی ویژة کشتی (SWPT) و آزمون آمادگی بدنی ویژة کشتی (SWFT) است. آزمون ترکیبی سه دقیقه و 40 ثانیه بود که یک نوبت به‌شمار می‌رفت و هر مرحله نیز شامل دو نوبت بود. به‌منظور بررسی تغییرات شاخص‌های فشار اکسایشی و دستگاه دفاع ضداکسایشی کشتی‌گیران، خون‌گیری اولیه پیش از شروع آزمون ترکیبی SWPT-SWFT انجام گرفت. چهار خون‌گیری بعدی شامل بلافاصله پس از مراحل اول، دوم و چهارم آزمون مذکور و آخرین خون‌گیری نیز 48 ساعت پس از آزمون ترکیبی SWPT-SWFT اجرا شد. نمونه‌های جمع‌آوری‌شده به‌منظور بررسی سطوح مالون دی‌آلدهید، ظرفیت تام ضداکسایشی و سوپراکسید دیسموتاز با روش الایزا ارزیابی شدند. به‌منظور تجزیه‌وتحلیل داده‌ها از روش تحلیل واریانس با اندازه‌گیری مکرر ترکیبی (Mixed Anova) استفاده شد. نتایج: یافته‌ها نشان داد که مقادیر ظرفیت تام ضداکسایشی گروه مکمل در همة مراحل بیشتر از گروه دارونما بود؛ با این حال تفاوت دو گروه فقط در زمان‌های خون‌گیری سوم، چهارم و پنجم معنادار بود (05/‌0>P)، ولی در مراحل خون‌گیری اول و دوم بین دو گروه تفاوت معناداری مشاهده نشد (05/‌0<P). همین‌طور در هیچ‌یک از مراحل خون‌گیری در مقادیر سرمی سوپراکسید دیسموتاز تفاوت معناداری بین دو گروه وجود نداشت (05/‌0<P). همچنین در مراحل خون‌گیری دوم، سوم، چهارم و پنجم بین دو گروه در مقادیر سرمی مالون دی‌آلدهید تفاوت معناداری وجود داشت (05/‌0>P).نتیجه‌گیری: به‌نظر می‌رسد مصرف مکملInflamma-X می‌تواند برای جلوگیری از آسیب اکسایشی و حتی تسهیل دورة بازیافت بین هر رقابت کشتی سودمند باشد.

Relationships between training load and wellbeing measures across a full season: a study of Turkish national youth wrestlers.

The two aims of this study were: (i) to analyse the correlations between weekly acute workload (wAW), chronic workload, acute/chronic workload rate (wACWR), training monotony and strain and the weekly (w) reports of delayed onset muscle soreness, wFatigue, wStress, wSleep quality, and the Hooper indicator (wHI); (ii) to analyse the relationships between early, mid and end preparation season (PS) and the full PS. Ten elite young wrestlers participated in this study. The subjects who were included in this research were wrestlers participating in competitions organized by the National Turkish Wrestling Federation. The subjects were monitored for 32 weeks and were divided into three time periods: early PS, W1 to W11; mid PS, W12 to W22; and end PS, W23 to W32. Very large correlations were found for wAW and wACWR with wFatigue and wHI during end PS. Also, the same workload parameters were significantly correlated with wStress (r = 0.66; P = 0.03), wSleep (r = 0.78; P = 0.004), and wHI (r = 0.72; P = 0.01) during mid PS. The results of this study offer new perspectives for specialists regarding the perceived level of load and the variations of wellbeing during a PS at the level of elite young wrestlers.
