Abstract

Background: Wrestling is a sport heavy and severe activity due to certain physical and physiological needs such as anaerobic, power, strength, speed, lactate tolerance, and anaerobic stamina because wrestling matches are carried out at different weights. A more successful wrestling is a more effective athletic performance for repeated exercises and endurance fatigue. Aims and Objectives: The main objective of this research was to compare the effect of two resistance training methods (dual pyramid and diagonal pyramid) on some physical and physiological factors of elite freestyle wrestler’s young boy in Hamadan province.
Materials and Methods: Subjects were divided into three groups of 10 (Experimental I Dual Pyramid Practices, Experimental II Diagonal Pyramid) and control group. The three groups trained for every 12 weeks and each week had 3 sessions. In terms of the method of research, three groups participated in a 12 week exercise program with three sessions per week. Body combination, fat index, muscular density, strength, muscular endurance and anaerobic capabilities of wrestlers were measured both prior and post to the intervention program using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov, Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) in addition to Sidak Post-Hoc Test.
Results: The results of the statistical test showed that there is a significant difference between the two groups in power of muscle strength, muscular endurance, power, and fat percentage (P ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that two different exercise programs produce similar results in strength, endurance, and muscle mass, but it may have more effectiveness to improve the ability of diagonal training programs and to improve the body composition and reduce the percentage of fat and pyramid training programs.
