The
aim of this study was to examine the relation between certain anthropometric
characteristics and strength and vertical jump performance of elite wrestlers.
16 athletes wrestling in different clubs participated in our research. Average
age of the wrestlers was 23,62 ± 244, while their average height was 177,31 ±
5,18 and their average weight is 86,45 ± 14,91. In determining the
anthropometric measurements of the subjects, height, body weight, skin fold
thickness, circumference and diameter measurements were made. For measurement
of strength parameters, claw strength was measured with a Takkei brand hand
dynamometer, while back and leg strength was measured with a back and leg
dynamometer. An electronic smart speed lite system was used to measure the
vertical jump performance of the athletes. Pearson Correlation Analysis was
used to determine the relationship between anthropometric measurements and
strength parameters and vertical jump ratios, and values with p <0,05 were
considered significant. As a result, the relationship between anthropometric
characteristics and physical performance of elite wrestlers was examined, and a
high correlation was found between anthropometric measurements and strength
parameters. There was no relationship between vertical jump and anthropometric
measurements and strength parameters. In addition, it is a remarkable detail
that no significant difference could be detected between the leg, back, right
and left claw strengths of wrestlers and their anthropometric characteristics.
