Athletes competing in weight-class sports often seek to gain an advantage by competing at lower weights. Athletes competing in weight-class sports often seek to gain an advantage by competing at lower weights. To achieve this, they aim to lose weight during the competition period, leading to various physiological and psychological changes. This study aimed to investigate the biochemical, hormonal, and psychological effects of weight reduction in elite wrestlers during the competition phase.
Thirty-seven elite male free style wrestlers (age: 19.02 ± 1.27) participated in the study. Samples were collected 5 days before and on the day of the match.
A significant decrease in body weight was observed ( < 0.05). Levels of creatine, BUN, sodium, hematocrit, hemoglobin, LDH, and cortisol increased, while albumin, testosterone, and FSH levels decreased. There were no significant differences in potassium, ALT, AST, TSH levels. State and trait anxiety scores of the wrestlers increased significantly during the RWL period.
The study concluded that elite wrestlers experienced significant changes in physiological and psychological parameters during the competition periods. These findings underscore the importance of careful monitoring of RWL strategies by coaches and athletes to mitigate the adverse effects on nutritional status, psychological well-being, and physical performance.
参加体重分级项目的运动员常常试图通过在更低体重级别参赛来获取优势。为了达到这一目的，他们在比赛期间致力于减重，这会引发各种生理和心理变化。本研究旨在调查精英摔跤运动员在比赛阶段减重所产生的生化、激素及心理影响。
37名精英男子自由式摔跤运动员（年龄：19.02 ± 1.27）参与了本研究。在比赛前5天及比赛当天采集样本。
观察到体重显著下降（<0.05）。肌酸、尿素氮、钠、血细胞比容、血红蛋白、乳酸脱氢酶和皮质醇水平升高，而白蛋白、睾酮和促卵泡激素水平下降。钾、谷丙转氨酶、谷草转氨酶、促甲状腺激素水平无显著差异。在快速减重期间，摔跤运动员的状态焦虑和特质焦虑得分显著增加。
该研究得出结论，精英摔跤运动员在比赛期间生理和心理参数出现了显著变化。这些发现强调了教练和运动员仔细监测快速减重策略的重要性，以减轻对营养状况、心理健康和身体表现的不利影响。
