Abstract

The purpose of the paper was to study the physique of highly qualified martial art athletes engaged in different types of wrestling, and to perform a retrospective analysis of the morphological characteristics of wrestlers examined since the early 1920s. The materials of the anthropometric survey of 48 athletes engaged in different types of wrestling with qualification from the candidate for master of sports and above were used for this purpose and compared to the "control group" of young men (N = 97) who were not engaged in sports (similar to the group of athletes by age, ethnicity and percentage of individuals with different weight categories). A set of morphological traits was established that contributed to the successful achievements in sports. When comparing the physique of modern athletes with that of the wrestlers surveyed in the early and mid-20th century (the 1920s and 1960s), it has been shown that the secular trend towards increase in height typical for modern population, was expressed in athletes to a much lesser extent. Striking similarities were revealed for absolute and relative dimensions characterizing the skeletal body proportions of the wrestlers, which pointed to the secular stability of this sports morphotype. The obtained results can be used as additional morphological criteria for sports selection, professional orientation and prediction of competitive success.

高水平摔跤运动员身体尺寸的长期变化趋势

本文的目的是研究从事不同类型摔跤的高素质武术运动员的体质，并对20世纪20年代初以来所调查的摔跤运动员的形态特征进行回顾性分析。本研究采用48名具有体育硕士及以上候选人资格的不同摔跤类型运动员的人体测量学调查资料，并与不从事体育运动的年轻男性“对照组”(N = 97)(年龄、种族和不同体重类别的个体百分比与运动员组相似)进行比较。建立了一套有助于在体育运动中取得成功的形态特征。当将现代运动员的体格与20世纪早期和中期(20世纪20年代和60年代)接受调查的摔跤运动员的体格进行比较时，结果表明，现代人口中典型的身高增长的长期趋势在运动员中表现得要小得多。摔跤运动员骨骼比例的绝对尺寸和相对尺寸有着惊人的相似性，这表明了这种运动形态的长期稳定性。所得结果可作为运动选择、职业定位和竞技成功预测的附加形态学标准。
