Starting in the 1991-1992 school year, Wisconsin was the first state to have a mandatory minimum weight established for high school wrestlers, along with a comprehensive standardized nutrition education program. The minimum weight project was phased in over 2 years. The goal of the project is to scientifically predict a healthy minimum weight for high school wrestlers. No guidelines were previously set and unhealthy weight loss practices are sometimes used to achieve desired weights. A wrestler's weight is often determined by the need to fill a wrestling class and not on a good scientific basis. Many wrestling coaches across the state have tried to implement individual programs, but until this project there had been no coordinated, collective effort.
从1991 - 1992学年开始，威斯康星州是第一个为高中摔跤运动员设定强制性最低体重标准的州，同时还实施了一项全面的标准化营养教育计划。最低体重项目分两年逐步实施。该项目的目标是科学预测高中摔跤运动员的健康最低体重。此前没有设定指导方针，有时会采用不健康的减肥方法来达到理想体重。摔跤运动员的体重往往是根据填补某个摔跤级别空缺的需要来确定的，而不是基于科学依据。该州许多摔跤教练都曾试图实施个别项目，但在这个项目之前，一直没有协调一致的集体努力。
