Investigation of the effect of the trained and detrai̇ni̇ng period on some physical, physiological and sports performance parameters in elite grecoroman wrestlers

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the changes in the physical, physiological and performance parameters of the elite Greco-Roman wrestlers, who had a long period detraining due to the Covid-19 Virus. Method: 20 male volunteers from National Greco-Roman Wrestling Team (21,75 ± 3,11 years, 174,2 ± 7,8 cm) participated in the research. Heart Rate Variability values were measured during the detraining and for 8 weeks training period. The hand grip strength, body fat percentage values, which were measured once in detraining, were recorded at 2 weeks intervals during the training period. The fitness test, which is specific to wrestling; It was measured twice, in detraining and training period. İt was included to throwing wrestling dummy in 3 sets of 30 seconds. During each dummy throw test; Blood lactate values were measured before, after and 4 minutes after the throw, by taking blood from the fingertip. Field trainings were determined by the national team coaches. SPSS 23.0 package program was used in the analysis of the datas. Results: Significant differences were found between the periods on body fat mass and body weights (p< 0,005). A significant difference was found in the measurements of subcutaneous fat thickness at all measurement times (p<0.000). A significant difference was found on hand grip strengths between the periods (p< 0,000). For the fitness test; a statistically significant difference was found between the two periods (p<0,000). For the lactate measurements; a statistically significant difference was found between two periods (p<0.000) Heart rate variabilty values were found to be significantly differences in each different periods (p<0.000) Conclusion: In the current study; İn elite wrestlers after detraining due to the Covid-19 virus positive results were obtained in anthropometric measurements, autonomic nervous system and general sportive performance levels with field trainings.
