: Since studies on the subject of weight reduction in wrestlers vary in opinions regarding health, performance, and legal regulations, a review of the most cited literature in other combat sports was carried out. : By searching the WOS and Scopus scientific databases, the top 60 cited papers were identified, and ultimately, 13 articles that met the inclusion criteria for this review were selected. : Apart from the advantages gained in strength and mass through weight reduction, a mental advantage is also obtained. The period between weigh-ins and the actual bouts is considered crucial for the preservation of performance. When the rules allow for a longer recovery period, this enables aggressive, harmful, or prohibited weight reduction methods to be employed by some wrestlers. A chronic reduction in body weight is regarded as a long-term health issue but may be ignored by wrestlers. There has been no progress in the attempt to regulate the problem of rapid weight loss (RWL) within wrestling in the past thirty-five years. If any change is to be brought about, the engagement of all federations, clubs, WADA, and all individuals involved in this issue (athletes, coaches, parents, doctors, etc.) is deemed necessary.
由于关于摔跤运动员减重问题的研究在健康、表现和法律法规方面存在不同观点，因此对其他格斗运动中被引用最多的文献进行了综述。通过搜索WOS和Scopus科学数据库，确定了被引用次数最多的60篇论文，最终选择了13篇符合本综述纳入标准的文章。除了通过减重获得力量和体重方面的优势外，还能获得心理优势。称重和实际比赛之间的时间段被认为对保持表现至关重要。当规则允许更长的恢复期时，这使得一些摔跤运动员能够采用激进、有害或被禁止的减重方法。长期体重减轻被视为一个长期健康问题，但可能被摔跤运动员忽视。在过去35年里，在规范摔跤运动中快速减重（RWL）问题的尝试上没有取得任何进展。如果要带来任何改变，所有联合会、俱乐部、世界反兴奋剂机构以及所有参与这个问题的个人（运动员、教练、家长、医生等）的参与被认为是必要的。
