This study aims to determine the physical changes resulting from technical training applied to adolescent wrestlers. Twenty-four male wrestlers volunteered to participate in the study. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: Experimental group (EG, n=14) and Control group (CG, n=14). The EG had a mean age of 12.54±0.82 years, a mean body weight of 48.36±8.23 kg, and a mean height of 156.18±8.58 cm. The CG had a mean age of 13.62±0.33 years, a mean body weight of 47.43±6.65 kg, and a mean height of 158.24±2.26 cm. The EG performed a 12-week technical training specific to freestyle wrestling while the CG continouned their regular wrestling training. Before and after the 12 week training period, skinfold thickness and body circumference measurements were carried out. There were significant differences between pre and post tests in subscapula, biceps, triceps, pectoral, abdominal, suprailiac, abdominal, suprailiac, and tight (p<0.05). No significant change was observed in the abdominal, suprailiac skinfold thickness measurements. Subscapula, biceps, triceps, triceps, pectoral, and tight parameters significantly decreased after the 12 week period (p<0.05). No significant difference was found between the pre-test and post-test in EG (p>0.05). There are significant changes between the pre and post tests in shoulder, chest, chest (inspiration), chest (expiration), abdomen, hip, thigh, forearm tight, calf, arm, arm circumference, forearm circumference measurements (p<0.05). After the technical training, all circumference measurements significantly decreased except for one shoulder. There was no significant difference between the pre test and post test in one shoulder and calf circumference measurements (p>0.05). However, there were significant changes in the pre test and post test in the CG. The houlder, chest, chest (inspiration), chest (expiration), abdomen, hip, thigh, forearm thigh, arm, arm circumference, and forearm measurement increased after a 12-week standart wrestling training period (p<0.05). As a result, this study revealed that a 12 week technical training specific to the wrestling declined skinfold thickness like regular wrestling training. Except single shoulder measurements, body circumference measurements demonstrated significant increases after technical training. These results indicate that technical training in freestyle wrestling positively contributes to the physical development of adolescent wrestlers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
