Objective Wrestling is one of the sports that have a high percentage of injuries. Therefore, the aim of this study was to review physiological and biomechanical injuries in the field of wrestling. Methods The present study was a library-based and systematic review. The search for articles in Persian and Latin was conducted from 2010 to 2022. This search was performed across different databases, including WOS, SID, Magiran, Scopus, PubMed, ISC, and Google Scholar. Fifty-five relevant articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Finally, 12 articles related to the review of physiological and biomechanical injuries in the field of wrestling were analyzed. Results The findings showed that the average injuries in the lower area were about 34%, and in the upper area, it was 33%. In the lower part, most of the injuries were reported in the knee and ankle joints, and in the upper part, they were reported in the shoulder, elbow, and waist joints. Conclusion It seems that excessive weight loss, along with non-observance of the principles of warming up and cooling down in the field of wrestling, is of great importance in the occurrence of injuries in this field.

Background: Adaptability to exercise training can increase the plasticity of the brain, and whether this can be due to a beneficial change in the neurometabolites, is uncertain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate basal metabolic concentrations of cerebellum, including N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) and Cholin(Cho) in athletes and compare them with non-athlete subjects. Materials and Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 10 young wrestlers (age,21.71±2.06 years; weight,71.31 ±5.59; BMI,23.9 ±1.04; VO2max,56.03 ±2.41) and a history of wrestling exercises of at least 4 years, from Available community as an athlete group and 9 people (age,21.16±1.94 years; BMI, 24.02±2.38; VO2max,41.25 ±2.45)They did not have a history of regular exercise as non-athletic groups, After conducting baseline assessments in the field of body composition and aerobic fitness, both groups performed MRS test to determine the values of NAA and Cho. Data were analyzed using independent t-tests at significance level of p

Introduction: Wrestling has been a very ancient and popular sport in India. A variety of biomechanical forces are applied on these athletes due to the very nature of this game, leading to injury to different parts of the body. This study aimed to find the prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries among wrestlers from the taluka of Karad. Methods: 100 wrestlers were selected for this study based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. They completed a structured questionnaire to assess for any injuries regarding wrestling and also their demographic data was recorded. Results: All the wrestlers reported at least 1 lesion. The most commonly injured body regions were at the lower limb region (57.1%) and then at upper limb region (31.4%). Lesions were more frequent in the Lower limb region (45%) and less in the Upper limb region (13%). Sprains were commonly seen in the Lower limb region (34%) as well and followed by Upper limb region (28%). Conclusion: Musculoskeletal injuries of both the upper and lower extremities was found to be high among the wrestlers of Karad. It was found to be more common in males and less in females. Lesions and sprains were found to be more frequent in the lower limb region of the body. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Coping style is one of the substantial factors influencing sport achievements insport competitions. The main aim of the present study was to examine the effect ofsport stress coping styles on sources of acute stress and salivary cortisol inwrestlers. With regard to the criteria and variables of this study, 30 out of 270active national wrestlers participated according to the cut-off point of coping stylesquestionnaire in two approach and avoidant coping groups. The participants wereasked to complete Sources of wrestling acute stress questionnaire and to collect thesaliva to measure salivary cortisol levels. Multivariate analysis of variance resultsindicated that sources of acute stress were significantly higher in approach copingwrestlers than avoidant coping group (P=0.001). Also, salivary cortisol level wassignificantly lower in avoidant coping group than the approach coping group(P=0.012). According to the results, different stress coping styles influencedperceived stress of acute stress and salivary cortisol levels in wrestlers. Thefindings of this study can be used in instruction of different sport stress copingstyles in wrestlers in order to reduce their mental pressure in the competitions.

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of overt and covert motivationalself-talk on perceived exertion and performance in a progressive exercise untilexhaustion in wrestlers. The population consisted of wrestlers in Urmia and 15volunteer subjects were selected. This study was performed in three sessions with aone-week interval. The first session was held without self–talk while the second andthird sessions were held covertly and overtly respectively. Bruce aerobic exercisetest was used in this study as well. The time to exhaustion was considered asperformance. Burg scale was used every 3 minutes in order to measure subjects'exhaustion. To analyze the data, ANOVA with repeated measures and TUKEY posthoc test was used. The results showed that only covert self-talk had a significanteffect on subjects’ performance (P=0.002). Also, overt motivational self-talk(P=0.001) significantly decreased the subjects' perceived exertion rather thancovert self–talk. There was no significant difference between covert self-talk andwithout self–talk (P=0.121). In conclusion, overt motivational self-talk decreasedthe perceived exertion of the subjects in the progressive exercise until exhaustionwhile covert motivational self-talk improved subjects’ endurance.

Researchers use resiliency for people who do not show undesirable consequences in terrible and unsafe conditions. Resiliency is often referred to constructive and positive compatibility in order to deal with problems. As athletes cannot cope with their defeats most of the time, they should study this issue and its interaction and acquisition. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and the resiliency in Iranian premier league wrestlers. For this purpose, 80 Iranian premier league wrestlers participated in this study. They were asked to fill out the Persian version of Schutte self–report EI test (SSREIT) and Connor and Davidson resiliency (CD–RISC 2) questionnaire. Mean age of all athletes was 23.8 with standard deviation of 2.85. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between the overall scores of EI and resiliency (P

Background and Aim: Proprioception is a component of somatosensory system. One of the most important somatosensory receptors is muscle spindles. Neck area with high density of muscle spindle, plays a significant role in providing this sense. With repeated contact sports, with high trauma on head and neck region, it is likely that proprioception will be impaired. The present study was conducted to compare proprioception between wrestlers, taekwondo players and non-athlete subjects to determine the effect of trauma on proprioception of craniocervical region. Material and Methods: This study was a case-control study of 75 male with the age range of 18-30 years (Including: 25 professional wrestlers, 25 professional taekwondo players and 25 non-athlete subjects). Participants were selected through simple non-probability sampling. To assess proprioception of craniocervical region, angular repositioning of two positions (neutral and 50% of range of motion) was evaluated by using the cervical range of motion device (CROM device). The statistical method which used in this study was one way ANOVA. Results: Accuracy of target repositioning (50% of range of motion) of extension, right and left rotation were significantly different between three groups (p<0.05). Returning to neutral position from mentioned movement was associated with a significant error (p<0.05). Conclusion: It is assumed that proprioception of craniocervical region has been affected by trauma in wrestlers and taekwondo players, so that the accuracy of head repositioning for both neutral and target positions were reduced in wrestlers. However, taekwondo players had more errors in repositioning of target angle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background and Objective: Increasing the intensity of training is one of the factors that improve the athletic performance. Evaluation of psychological and biochemical factors is believed to be beneficial for evaluating the effectiveness of training schedule. Previous studies have shown that there are various responses to the training intensity due to the level of athlete's fitness and the kind of training. This study was done to investigate the effect of intensive training on salivary level of cortisol, testosterone, α- amylase and mood of elite adolescent wrestlers. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed on fifteen adolescent wrestlers of Iranian national team during 2009. The subjects were under extension training for three weeks. The saliva samples were taken prior, first, second and third weeks of training to determine cortisol, testosterone and α-amylase level of salivary samples. Also, the Brahms questionnaire was used to assess the mood profile before and after the training. Data were analyzed using SPSS-14, ANOVA and student t-tests. Results: There was no significant differences of salivary cortisol (7.69±0.75, 8.1±0.93 ng/ml), testosterone (82.3±0.89, 64.2±1.7 ng/ml), α-amylase (98.81±1.35, 84.2±1.5 U/ml) level and mood (16.4±3.28, 20.08±2.91) of subjects prier and after training. Conclusion: This study indicated that the intensive training do not alter salivary hormons level and mood of elite adolescent wrestlers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
