Abstract :
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of polymetric, Strength and combined training on some performance indicators of elite wrestlers.The present study was a quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design. The subjects of the present study were 32 elite wrestlers from Golestan province with a history of at least 3 years of regular training. Subjects were randomly divided into 4 control groups (n=8), polymetric (n=8), strength (n=8) and combined exercises training(8 subjects). Subjects performed the above exercises for 8 weeks (three sessions per week). Anaerobic power, maximum power, speed and agility were evaluated before and after 8 weeksThe results showed that anaerobic capacity in the combined exercise group increased significantly compared to the control group. Maximum strength was significantly increased in the combined exercise group compared to the control group and the plyometric training group. Maximum strength in the strength training group increased significantly compared to the control group. The speed in the combined training group increased significantly compared to the control group and the strength training group. Also, the speed in the plyometric training group increased significantly compared to the control group and the strength training group. There was no significant difference in agility after eight weeks between groups.The results of the present study showed that the combination of plyometric and strength training compared to strength and plyometric exercises only leads to further improvement of anaerobic capacity, maximum strength and speed in elite wrestlers, but has no effect on improving agility.
