“…Wrestling is one of the oldest recorded combat sports and one of the first sports included in the programme of ancient and modern Olympic Games. There are two competitive styles of wrestling–Greco-Roman and freestyle [ 1 ]. The main difference is that Greco-Roman wrestlers are forbidden from performing any holds below the waist, whereas in freestyle they are allowed to use their whole body during the fight [ 2 ].…”

Identification of success factors in wrestling as well as establishing their hierarchy are crucial from a cognitive and practical standpoint. It may provide a lot of practical recommendations related to wrestling-specific training. The aim of this study was to identify and establish the hierarchy of success factors in wrestling regardless of a fighting style and weight class. This study included 168 elite male freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestlers. They were divided into two groups: athletes who won medals (successful wrestlers) in high-rank competitions (Polish Championships or higher) and those who did not win any medals (less successful wrestlers) in those competitions. The following elements were assessed: anthropological measurements, body composition, dynamic strength, strength endurance, agility, special endurance, wrestling-specific fitness, response time, technical wrestling skills and anaerobic capacity. For initial data analysis, one-way ANOVA (α = 0.005) was used. Random Forests classifier was employed to identify success factors and to determine the importance of each of these factors in terms of sports performance. Seven key success factors were identified: anaerobic power, strength endurance, response time, special endurance, wrestling-specific fitness and technical wrestling skills performed in a horizontal position. Random Forests turned out to be an effective method of modelling success in wrestling (compared to SVM and KNN, which were also used in the study). These findings suggest that wrestling-specific training can be effectively monitored by controlling several vital indicators of athletes’ preparedness: anaerobic power, strength endurance, response time, special endurance, wrestling-specific fitness and technical wrestling skills (the performance of reverse waistlock from a standing position and trunk grip gut wrench assessed by experts).

“…In this study, it seems that the result of the rule changes made the differentiation of the score techniques. It is connected with constantly increasing competition on the basis of introduction of achievements of science and technique in the training process and improvement of technique of training of sportsmen (Iermakov, Podrigalo, Romanenko, Tropin, & Boychenko, 2016;Tropin et al, 2016;Shatskikh, 2013;Bromber, Krawietz, & Petrov, 2014).…”

Background. The purpose of this study was to carry out technical analysis of the 12th World Universities Wrestling Championships Greco-Roman style competition. Methods. There were 70 participants from 18 countries participating in Corum, Turkey. The observation form was prepared before the competitions and recorded by two researchers; technical analysis of the recordings was carried out. During the competitions, the scores obtained, warnings, winning types, successful techniques were recorded in the technical analysis form. In statistical analysis, the percentage distributions for each parameter and match percentage rates were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed by One Way ANOVA and LSD analysis of variance in group comparisons. Results. In the championships all the wrestlers applied 341 technics and collected 535 points. The Light weight groups applied 157 technics and collected 245 points in the 36 matches. The most number of points were collected and made in the light weight group. The heavyweight groups applied 63 technics and collected 116 points in the 19 matches. The least number of points were collected and made in the heavyweight groups. There was a significant difference between the technical and score points according to weight groups ( p < .05 and p < .001). The highest number of victories was taken (won by score) in the heavyweight group (83%); the highest number of victories was taken (won by technical pin) in the lightweight group (21%). The highest score was made with passive punishment point in lightweight group (28%), middleweight group (38%) and heavyweight group (33%). The highest scores in the second row were obtained from the techniques of snap down spin behind with (16%) at light weight, high dive takedown at 16.5% in middle weight, and move out of the mat and high dive takedown score at 22% in heavyweight groups. The ratio for one competition (ROC) was received by the number of technical 4.01 and 6.67 points. Conclusion. As a result, the most effective technique in Greco-Roman style given by the referee was passive punishment point in all weight groups. In this case, the wrestlers need to be more active in the standing position around the zone area. In particular, it is suggested to fight tempo wrestling with their arms and chest by fighting against each other and struggle in the standing position.

“…Considering the wide-ranging cross-cultural distribution of combat and wrestling practices in very different cultures and societies across the contemporary world (Bromber et al, 2014), this issue intends to provide a (not-exhaustive) comparison of practices originating in highly heterogeneous geographical, social and cultural contexts. Indeed, comparisons focus on specific practices (combat and wrestling activities) and their relationship with belonging.…”

This special issue on hand-to-hand sports aims to analyse how collective identities and forms of group and community belonging are defined, strengthened, built, imagined or even denied in the sportive and social contexts in which hand-to-hand combat or wrestling disciplines are practised. Considering the wide-ranging cross-cultural distribution of combat and wrestling practices in very different cultures and societies across the contemporary world, this issue intends to provide a (not-exhaustive) comparison of practices originating in highly heterogeneous geographical, social and cultural contexts. Indeed, comparisons focus on specific practices (combat and wrestling activities) and their relationship with belonging. The contributing scholars have studied and reflected on a particular style of wrestling or combat practice and its links to social belonging and identity, whether it be expressed on regional or national, local or global, social or ethnic, institutional or ‘counter-cultural’, symbolic or concrete levels.
