Analysis of the Talent Selection in Turkish Wrestling

Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine whether elite wrestlers in Turkey are subjected to a talent test when they begin their wrestling. A total of 425 volunteer athletes who actively wrestling in sports clubs in 51 different cities of Turkey participated in the research. A semistructured interview was used in this study which covered qualitative data collection techniques. The semi-structured interview form was developed by researchers. It was determined that no aptitude test was performed when 425 (75.52 %) … Show more

“…The absence of significant ratio s between the selection procedure and the initial competitive results allow the coaches to treat the sports selection procedure quite formally. Experts point to the formal attitude of many coaches to the procedure of sports selection in martial arts [21]. The coaches are not guided by objective criteria in the selection procedure but by their own view of the practice of sports and personal preferences [22].…”

“…In a good number of research, it has been reported that athletic ability is influenced by genetic components such as ACTN3, PPAR and ACE (MacArthur and North, 2005;Rankinen et al, 2006) However, phenotypes that are effective in determining athletic ability are highly polygenic, while it is still not obvious whether different genetic components play a role in the capacity of an athlete in sports (Amir, 2007). Relevant studies in the literature have detected that the basic motoric properties such as speed, strength, flexibility and nerve muscle coordination that determine the ability of an individual are related to genetic factors (Kaynar and Bilici, 2017). Furthermore, an individual's athletic ability is determined by the interaction between athletic ability, differences of the unique genetic structure and the environmental factors such as physiological adaptation to training, food habits, and sleeping pattern (Ulucan et al, 2015).Even more, nearly 70% of the athletic performance variance is explained with genetic factors (Corak et al, 2017).…”
