The purpose of the present study was to compare the age-related patterns of anthropometric characteristics in young wrestlers (8-13 yr) to those of a national representative sample of boys the same age.
Two hundred and fifty-three young wrestlers (X age +/- SD, 11.1 +/- 1.6 yr; height (HT), 145.5 +/- 11.4 cm; body weight (BW), 40.7 +/- 10.9 kg) volunteered as subjects in the present study. The sample of young wrestlers was divided into six independent age groups: age group 8 (AG8), 8.00-8.99 yr (n = 27); AG9, 9.00-9.99 yr (n = 43); AG10, 10.00-10.99 yr (n = 50); AG11, 11.00-11.99 yr (n = 45); AG12, 12.00-12.99 yr (n = 56); and AG13, 13.00-13.99 yr (n = 32). Nine variables including BW, HT, body mass index (BMI), subscapular and triceps skinfolds, waist, midarm, maximal calf, and midthigh circumferences were assessed on each subject.
The results showed that there was only one (midthigh circumference) difference between the young wrestlers and the national sample for yearly changes in the anthropometric dimensions.
These findings indicated that participation in age group wrestling was not associated with age-related patterns of anthropometric characteristics that were different from those of a national representative sample of boys the same age.
本研究的目的是比较年轻摔跤运动员（8 - 13岁）与全国同龄男孩代表性样本的人体测量特征的年龄相关模式。
253名年轻摔跤运动员（年龄X±标准差，11.1±1.6岁；身高（HT），145.5±11.4厘米；体重（BW），40.7±10.9千克）自愿参与本研究作为受试者。年轻摔跤运动员样本被分为六个独立的年龄组：8岁年龄组（AG8），8.00 - 8.99岁（n = 27）；AG9，9.00 - 9.99岁（n = 43）；AG10，10.00 - 10.99岁（n = 50）；AG11，11.00 - 11.99岁（n = 45）；AG12，12.00 - 12.99岁（n = 56）；AG13，13.00 - 13.99岁（n = 32）。对每位受试者评估九个变量，包括体重、身高、体重指数（BMI）、肩胛下和肱三头肌皮褶厚度、腰围、上臂围、最大小腿围和大腿中部围。
结果显示，年轻摔跤运动员与全国样本在人体测量维度的年度变化上仅存在一项差异（大腿中部围）。
这些发现表明，参与年龄组摔跤与人体测量特征的年龄相关模式无关，这些模式与全国同龄男孩代表性样本的模式不同。
