A physiological profile of Canadian Greco-Roman wrestlers

A W Taylor et al. Can J Appl Sport Sci. 1979 Jun.

Abstract

The sport of Greco-Roman wrestling is relatively new in North America. However, this is the national sport of seven European countries and a great deal of research literature is available. The purpose of the present investigation was to establish baseline data for Canadian Greco-Roman wrestlers for a data bank which can be used to compare with World Class wrestlers. The results indicate that the Canadian National Team is made up of athletes with only average values for the physiological measures taken. However, the correlation between wrestling success and the physiological parameters measured is 0.91.
