Abstract:

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of 4-week preparation period training on aerobic, anaerobic power and body weight values of wrestling athletes. Seven male wrestlers with an average age of 24.14, who are competitors in national and international competitions, were included in the study voluntarily. Aerobic, anaerobic power and body weight measurements were measured twice, at the beginning and end of the first phase of the preparation period. In order to determine whether there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test averages of the athletes, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to analyze the data that were not normally distributed. The significance level was taken as p<0.05. Wrestler's Body weights of A significant difference was found between the pretest and posttest mean scores in favor of the posttest (Z=-2.207; p<0.05). MaxVO2 and Anaerobic power average values were not significantly affected by the four-week training at the beginning of the season (p>0.05).
