The purpose of this study is to examine the correlation between leg power and balance performance in elite wrestlers and injury history. In the research group, there are 18 elite freestyle male wrestlers at the ages of 24.27 ± 3.18 years, with a height of 171.86 ± 5.44 cm and a body weight of 79.27 ± 11.16 kg. Information on the injury history of the athletes' upper legs for the past year was collected via interviews with the club's physiotherapist. Laboratory tests to measure performance assessed height, body weight, Y balance and isokinetic leg strength. Data obtained from the study are presented as mean and standard deviation. The test of normality was carried out by the Shapiro-Wilk test. The Pearson Correlation Test was performed for all parameters with normal distribution, and significance level was accepted as p < 0.05. It was found that there is a relationship between the wrestlers' right leg ratio and hamstring strength and injury history. However, there is n...

Maximal strength, muscular endurance, maximal aerobic power, and anaerobic capabilities, power are needed to have victory for wrestlers in a wrestling competition.The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of acute muscular fatigue on static and dynamic balance performances in elite wrestlers. Ten elite male wrestlers (25 ± 2.3 years, 181 ± 6.5 cm, 84 ± 4.2 kg) participated in the study voluntarily. Participants were undertaken dynamic and static balance test before fatigue exercise (in Cybex) and immediately after fatigue exercise, theywere undertaken dynamic and static balance test again. SPSS packet program was used to evaluate the data. There were no statistically significant differences in static and dynamic balance before and after fatigue. The results show that wrestlers’ balance is not affected by muscular fatigue, so there is no need for balance exercise after fatigue at least according to this study.

As a result of statistical analysis, there was no significant difference between static and dynamic balance performances of team athletes and individual athletes (p <0.05). As a result, improved fitness performance is required for effective use of motor skills in all sports branches and high perfor...
The influence of quadriceps and hamstring strength on balance performance
Physical Education of Students
Background and Study Aim. Muscular strength and balance are important components of athletic performance, and the muscles around the knee (Quadriceps and Hamstrings) provide joint stability when the knee is in motion. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between quadriceps/hamstring (H/Q) muscle strength, Hamstring/Quadriceps (H/Q) strength ratio and balance performance. Material and Methods. Ten male volunteers with an average age of 21.60±2.11 years, height 176.40±4.67 cm, and body weight 76.50±8.85 kg, who were students of the Faculty of Sports Sciences. Performance tests included dynamic and static balance using the Biodex Balance System and isokinetic strength using the Cybex Humac NORM®. Results. Statistically significant (p<0.05) results in dynamic balance scores were found in the correlation of H/Q ratio and overall stability index (OSI) in the left leg (r =-0.645), and in the correlation of peak torque hamstring and anterior-posterior stability index (APS...
COMPARISON OF DYNAMIC POSTURAL CONTROL OF COLLEGIATE ATHLETES IN DIFFERENT SPORTS
The purpose of this study was to determine if there were significant differences in dynamic postural control performance in male collegiate soccer and basketball players, wrestlers, and kickboxers. Sixty-five male collegiate athletes competing in soccer (n=20), basketball (n=14), wrestling (n=16), and kickboxing (n= 15) volunteered to participate in this study. Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) scores were obtained bilaterally for anterior (ANT), posterolateral (PL), and posteromedial (PM) directions. Star Excursion Balance Test scores in the PL, PM, and composite reach distance were found higher in the wrestlers than the other groups (p<0.05). ANT scores did not differ between groups (p>0.05). The results of this study demonstrated that soccer and basketball players and kickboxers did not differ in terms of dynamic balance. However, wrestlers demonstrated superior dynamic balance performance than others. To evaluate risks or deficits related to lower extremity injury in athletes, clinicians and coaches should consider dynamic balance performance differences between sports branches.
The Effect of Training Experience on Postural Control in Competitive Wrestlers
Journal of Human Kinetics
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of training experience in wrestling on postural control. Fourteen elite athletes with at least 8 years of wrestling training and competition experience participated in the study. The control group consisted of fifteen healthy adults who were not competitive athletes. The center of pressure (COP) trajectories were recorded with the use of an AMTI force plate at a sampling frequency of 50 Hz. The rambling-trembling decomposition method was used to analyze the COP trajectory data. The main finding was a significant effect of training experience on postural control in only the sagittal plane. Interestingly, significant differences in velocity were observed for the trembling component of the COP. All described variables were significantly higher in wrestlers. We hypothesized that balance training may lead to task-specific neural adaptations at the spinal and supraspinal levels. It was concluded that further research of high methodological...
Differences in strength, flexibility and stability in freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestlers
Journal of back and musculoskeletal rehabilitation, 2014
Wrestling includes a variety of functional properties: muscular strength, flexibility, neuromuscular coordination, and static and dynamic balance. The aim of the study was to identify differences in the strength, flexibility, postural stability and core stabilization of young national and international wrestlers in different weight groups. Eighty-one male wrestlers (17-21 years old) were divided into 6 groups according to their body mass (light, middle and heavy) and wrestling style. The lumbosacral flexion, extension and lateral flexion range of motion, hamstring extensibility, back and leg muscle strength, postural stability, and core stabilization were assessed. Greco-Roman wrestlers had a higher lean body mass (6-12%) compared with freestyle wrestlers. However, the trunk lateral flexion flexibility was better in the Greco-Roman wrestlers (6-7%) than in the freestyle wrestlers, and the absolute back strength (BS) and leg strength (LS) were similar for both styles of wrestling. Th...

Pearson Correlation test has been applied in the statistical evaluation of the study. It has been found out that the static balance performances and oscillation indexes of the athletes have not changed in accordance with femoris muscular force of the athletes (p>0.05). When dynamic balance performances are taken into consideration, it has been detected that as difficulty level increases, quadriceps femoris muscular force also affects the balance performance (p<...
The investigation of isokinetic knee strength and muscle balance of taekwondo and wrestling athletes
Turkish Journal of Kinesiology
Taekwondo and wrestling are two different Olympic combat sports that need lower extremity strength in different ways. During the training process that lasts for many years, the harmony in the leg muscles may be dissimilar. This study aims to determine (1) the knee extension and flexion strength values of elite taekwondo and wrestling athletes with similar physical and demographic characteristics and (2) the muscle balances formed after long-term taekwondo and wrestling training. This study was conducted with the voluntary participation of 20 elite taekwondo and wrestling athletes (age: 20.4±1.27 years; experience: 10.6±1.98 years; height 176.65±5.86 cm; weight 72.96±6, 96 kg; BMI 23.35±1.47 kg/m2). Following the determination of the demographic and physical characteristics of the athletes, their isokinetic knee strengths were examined at an angular velocity of 600/s and compared between taekwondo and wrestling. Accordingly, the differences between the extension relative and average ...
The Evaluation of balance performance for elite male karate athletes after fatigue
International Journal of Sport, Exercise & Training Sciences, 2017
Aim: his study aimed to examine the effect of the tiredness in karate athletes, which was created with the help of a special simulation that was organized particularly to the branch in karate athletes, on the balance performance of karate athletes. Material and Methods: 16 male karate athletes were included in the study; these athletes have been doing karate for the Turkish national team and their active sports careers continue (age: 23.31±4.27 years, height: 173.4±4.91 cm, weight: 68.8±8.17 kg, BMI: 22.85±1.96 kg/cm2). Balance test was conducted for the athletes before the exercise test protocol that was prepared particularly for the karate-do sport and in the first 10 minutes and 30 minutes after the protocol ended. Results: As a result of all the parameters recorded, no statistically significant change was observed in the static balance parameters of the karate players participated in the research on their kicking feet, balancing feet and double feet, and also in their dynamic balance parameters on their double feet (p>0.05). The evaluations for the stability limits dynamic balance tests reveal that there is a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test values (of the overall balance, forward-right and forward-left data) (p<0.05). Conclusion: Consequently, it was presented that additional time is needed for karate athletes to recover their balance after bout tiredness and the given relaxation time is not enough for some dynamic balance parameters.
