Abstract :

Abstract Background and purpose: Studies show that anthropometric indicators and aerobic fitness produce different responses in athletes of different sports fields. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between anthropometric variables and Vo2max in young and adolescent professional wrestlers of the national team. Materials and methods: This research was descriptive-correlation study. The statistical population of the present study included 43 young professional wrestlers of the Iranian national team, of which subjects were voluntarily and available, with an average age of 17.72±0.76, an average height of 173.11±8.05 and the weighted average was 73.07±20.51 (22 teenage wrestlers and 21 young wrestlers). The subjects' anthropometric indices were measured using the body composition device and VO2max by the gas analyzer and Bruce test. In the inferential statistics section, the Shapiro-Wilk test was used to check the normality of the data distribution, and the Kendall test was used to check the correlation between the variables due to the non-parametric nature of the Vo2max data. SPSS version 26 software was used to analyze the data obtained from the research and Excel was used to draw the corresponding graphs. Also, the significance level of the tests in this research was considered to be P≤0.05. Results: The results showed that the minimum, maximum and average height, weight, fat-free mass, body mass index and maximum oxygen consumption of young professional wrestlers were more than the group of teenage, and the maximum percentage of fat in the group of adolescent wrestlers. The results showed that the comparison of body mass index, fat-free mass and fat percentage with maximum oxygen consumption in adolescent showed a significant and inverse difference. Also, we showed a significant relationship between the body mass index and fat-free index of the two groups. Conclusion: It seems that young wrestlers performed better compared to adolescent wrestlers due to greater adaptability. But more studies are needed to prove the best in this field.
