Abstract

Abstract: Marten, AD, Mattin, MD, Rumps, MV, Saraf, SM, and Mulcahey, MK. Effects of rapid weight loss in male and female wrestlers. J Strength Cond Res 39(5): e721-e729, 2025-The long-standing practice of rapid weight loss (RWL) of wrestlers and other combat athletes is known as "cutting weight." This practice often consists of rapid dehydration and malnutrition to "weigh-in" at a lower weight class for competition. There are multiple negative nutritional and psychological implications in wrestlers because of cutting weight including significantly increased risk of athletic injury, decreased serum testosterone and increased serum cortisol, as well as an increased risk of eating disorders and hormone fluctuations in female athletes. In addition, literature suggests a decrease in athletic performance for athletes undergoing >5% RWL. The purpose of this narrative review was to provide an overview of the implications of weight cutting on athletic performance and overall well-being, and to highlight specific medical, physiological, and psychological effects in male and female wrestlers to aid healthcare workers in making recommendations regarding weight cutting practices.

快速减肥对男女摔跤运动员的影响。

摘要：Marten， AD, martin， MD, Rumps， MV, Saraf， SM和Mulcahey， MK.男性和女性摔跤运动员快速减肥的影响。《力量杂志》39(5):721- 729,2025-长期以来，摔跤运动员和其他格斗运动员快速减肥（RWL）的做法被称为“减肥”。这种做法通常包括快速脱水和营养不良，以便在较低的体重级别“称重”以参加比赛。由于减肥，摔跤运动员在营养和心理上有多种负面影响，包括运动损伤的风险显著增加，血清睾酮降低，血清皮质醇升高，以及女性运动员饮食失调和激素波动的风险增加。此外，文献表明，运动员在接受b> 5%的RWL后，运动成绩会下降。这篇叙述性综述的目的是概述减肥对运动表现和整体健康的影响，并强调男性和女性摔跤运动员的具体医学、生理和心理影响，以帮助医护人员提出有关减肥实践的建议。

期刊介绍： The editorial mission of The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research (JSCR) is to advance the knowledge about strength and conditioning through research. A unique aspect of this journal is that it includes recommendations for the practical use of research findings. While the journal name identifies strength and conditioning as separate entities, strength is considered a part of conditioning. This journal wishes to promote the publication of peer-reviewed manuscripts which add to our understanding of conditioning and sport through applied exercise science.
