Every trainer wants his or her trainee to succeed among best. To achieve set objectives, the trainer raises expectations of the sportsman’s efforts in order to yield high results. However, can an athlete’s organism take psychological and physical loads, or does he or she have such potential that will unlock and release resources without harms to health and without resulting in psychological trauma? Operational control of the functional state of sportsmen is an integral part of the training process. Existing methods provide little information or control and can be time-consuming, which limits their widespread use in the sport. The authors aimed to study the use of complex parameters and adaptive capacity in the training cycles of training athletes. The purpose of this research includes estimating the psychophysiological state of wrestlers, by employing a software/hardware complex that uses electropuncture diagnostics and stimulation of biologically active points, which reveals latent pathology of body systems, and possible referral of the athlete to a doctor for more timely treatment. The authors describe their process and results, as well as give recommendations for improving athletes’’ health.","PeriodicalId":387289,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Wrestling Science","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131714062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We took special care to eliminate motion artifact when designing the near-infrared spectroscopy sensor for attachment to human skin. In addition, the system is designed with a high sampling rate so as to monitor rapid oxygenation changes during muscle activity. The wireless near-infrared spectroscopy sensor was designed using commercially available electronic components that were mounted onto a 4-layer rigid-flexible printed circuit board. We performed in vivo experiments including arterial occlusion and isometric voluntary forearm muscle contraction among wrestlers and demonstrated that the system can effectively monitor muscle oxygenation parameters, even in exercise.","PeriodicalId":387289,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Wrestling Science","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127825833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Women's wrestling has specificities in its recent history, development, and the treatment of female wrestlers. First, women's wrestling has been an Olympic Sport since 2004; this results in a limited number of medical scientific publications. Second, women's wrestling is a weight class sport, which includes difficulties in managing the weight and risk of amenorrhea and athlete triad. Third, women's wrestling is a combination of tactical, technical, and strength training; it involves an imbalance between the force of the abdominal muscles and the pelvic floor, which increases the risk of pelvic floor dysfunction. The author conducted a study on French elite female wrestlers to approach the reality of the health issues that female wrestlers face. In this study, 7 female wrestlers filled out an anonymous survey. Results showed that 5 women reported premenstrual syndrome, 3 reported amenorrhea, 3 reported pelvic floor dysfunction, 2 reported disturbances of cycles, and 1 reported stress fracture. Bone mass density of the amenorrheic female wrestlers was not decreased per dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Caring for the female wrestlers concerns several individuals including the coach, the trainer, the sport physician, the gynecologist, the sport dietitian, and the sport physiologist, in consideration of the female wrestler, her need of training, her level of performance, and her health status.","PeriodicalId":387289,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Wrestling Science","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114834007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to test the effectiveness of training methods for the development of the balance in youth wrestlers. Preand postbalance scores were measured using specialized balance-testing equipment in the laboratory. Participants were 5 youth wrestlers from each style: Greco-Roman and freestyle. After taking the pretest, wrestlers trained on the devices constructed for balance. It consisted of twice weekly training for 4 weeks. These sessions lasted 30 min. The first exercise instructed wrestlers to stand on the convex platforms and fight to maintain their stance on the platform for as long as possible. The second exercise required wrestlers to struggle to maintain balance while on a beam that is raised off the ground and remain on the beam for as long as possible. The third exercise was performed individually on a raised pentagon by moving around the device as long as possible. In conclusion, the training methods used for the development of balance produced positive effects. Using means for special balance training in wrestlers can improve balance.

This study aimed to investigate Turkish wrestling coaches' behavior toward their athletes and to identify the differences between various variables. The research population is active licensed wrestlers who have competed local, regional, national, and international competitions in the 2014/2015 season in Turkey. The sample consists of randomly selected (N = 1,084) wrestlers. In addition to collecting demographic data of the wrestlers and their coaches, the authors used a 47-question tool, developed by Mallet and Code, called the Coaching Behaviour Scale for Sports. Statistical analysis of the data was done using SPSS 16; and descriptive statistics, independent t test, and one-way analysis of variance test were applied. Results of this evaluations determined that older athletes and those with significant wrestling experience negatively evaluated their coaches' behaviors. Middle-aged coaches who had graduated from a university and who were working for a national team were evaluated positively by their athletes. The results of this research indicate that wrestling coaches are often viewed as inadequate by their athletes in terms of their knowledge of the fundamentals of training and competition, and their negative coaching behaviors. Coaches must constantly improve their knowledge and skills in order to be effective instructors for their athletes. Also, coaches must know the ways in which to motivate athletes in training and competitions.","PeriodicalId":387289,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Wrestling Science","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130965972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
