Abstract
Background: Wrestling was an important part of the ancient Olympic Games and is still one of the most popular events of the modern
Olympic Games. Studies indicate that general physiologic profile of successful wrestlers is high anaerobic power and capacity, muscular
strength, above average aerobic power, exceptional flexibility, fat free mass, and a mesomorphic somatotype.
Objectives: The objective of the present study was to evaluate anthropometric characteristics and physical performance of elite male
wrestlers.
Patients and Methods: The Colombian Wrestling Team was evaluated while in preparation for the Olympic Games (n = 21; age, 27.9 ± 6.7
years). Athletes were tested on anthropometric and fitness parameters: body composition, somatotype distribution according to HeathCarter, aerobic capacity, vertical jump, and anaerobic power.
Results: The evaluations showed a mean body fat percentage of 13.6% ± 3.0% (95% CI, 12.2%-15%), muscle mass of 46.4% ± 2.2% (95% CI, 45.4%-
47.4%), Ponderal index of 41.0 ± 1.8 (95% CI, 40.2-41.8), body adiposity index (BAI) 25.1 ± 3.6 (95% CI, 23.5-26.8), and somatotype distribution
mesomorphic-ectomorph (5.3-1.6-3.8). Mean aerobic capacity was 45.9 ± 6.6 mL/kg/min (95% CI, 42.8-48.9), vertical jump was 36.4 ± 6.6 cm
(95% CI, 11.8-16.6), and anaerobic power was 92.6 ± 19.5 kg/s (95% CI, 83.7-101.5).
Conclusions: These results provided a profile of elite wrestlers that could be used as training targets for developing athletes. The results
may also provide information for training and tactical planning.
