The purpose of this study was to determine the magnitude of weight gained in collegiate wrestlers between the weigh-in and beginning of tournament competition. Body weight of the qualifiers for the NCAA Division I, II, and III wrestling finals (N = 668) was recorded at the official weigh-in and again approximately 20 h later, before the first round of competition in the tournament. The results showed that on average (+/- SD), wrestlers gained 4.9 +/- 2.4% (3.3 +/- 1.5 kg) of body weight before competing. An inverse relationship was found such that wrestlers in the lightest weight classes gained the most weight (kg) compared with heavier wrestlers (r = -0.45, P < 0.05). Despite the large mean weight gain, the mean discrepancy between first round opponents was 2.1 +/- 3.0 kg and even less when heavyweight wrestlers were excluded from the analyses (1.5 +/- 1.2 kg, N = 607). A significant correlation between weight gain and weight discrepancy of opponents was found (r = 0.65, P < 0.05).
collegiate wrestlers, excluding heavyweights, gained significant amounts of weight (3.7 kg average) during the 20-h period prior to tournament competition. The magnitude of weight gain was positively correlated to the degree of weight discrepancy (size advantage) over the opponent; however, because weight gain of some magnitude after the weigh-in was common in most participants, the average discrepancy between opponents was only about 1.5 kg.
本研究的目的是确定大学摔跤运动员在称重与锦标赛开始之间体重增加的幅度。记录了美国大学体育协会（NCAA）一级、二级和三级摔跤决赛资格赛选手（N = 668）在官方称重时的体重，并在大约20小时后、锦标赛第一轮比赛前再次记录。结果显示，平均而言（±标准差），摔跤运动员在比赛前体重增加了4.9±2.4%（3.3±1.5千克）。发现了一种反比关系，即最轻量级的摔跤运动员比重量级运动员增加的体重（千克）最多（r = -0.45，P < 0.05）。尽管平均体重增加幅度较大，但第一轮对手之间的平均体重差异为2.1±3.0千克，若将重量级摔跤运动员排除在分析之外，差异更小（1.5±1.2千克，N = 607）。体重增加与对手体重差异之间存在显著相关性（r = 0.65，P < 0.05）。
除重量级选手外，大学摔跤运动员在锦标赛比赛前的20小时内体重显著增加（平均3.7千克）。体重增加幅度与相对于对手的体重差异程度（体型优势）呈正相关；然而，由于大多数参与者在称重后体重有一定程度的增加很常见，对手之间的平均差异仅约为1.5千克。
