The effect of seasonal training program on some physiological parameters among cadet and junior wrestlers

The purpose of this study is to determine the changes occurring in the height, weight, percentage of body fat, anaerobic power, strength, speed, aerobic capacity, anaerobic capacity and flexibility of cadet and junior wrestlers during the general preparation, special preparation, competitive  and off season of training programme and also to determine the effects of this program on these characteristics. This study was conducted on 40 subjects.  The subjects were divided into 4 groups; the experimental cadet and the experimental junior groups consisted of 10 wrestlers, control cadet and control junior groups consisted of 10 students.  Physical fitness tests, percentage-based changes have been calculated in comparison with the initial data.  The comparison of groups was made by multi-variable variance analysis.In our study, the increases in strength, aerobic capacity, flexibility, anaerobic power an aerobic capacity of wrestlers during the general  preparation, special preparation and competition periods were statistically found much more than of the ones who do not exercise regularly (p<0.05).  For wrestlers didn’t have training during the transition period, their strength, speed, aerobic capacity, flexibility, anaerobic power an capacity decreased and the percentage of body fat and weight increased.  For this reason, wrestlers should have active relaxation during the transition period.  The same training program has been applied and it has been seen that there is no significant difference between the changes in anaerobic power, flexibility, speed, strength, weight, anaerobic capacity, aerobic capacity and percentage of body fat of junior and cadet wrestlers (p>0.05).  There face, it shows us that the some training program can be applied to cadet and junior wrestlers. In order to follow the improvements in physiological characteristics of wrestlers  better, these characteristics should be evaluated before the season, at the end of the general preparation period, special preparation period, the competition period and the transition period when there is insufficiency while improving these characteristics, training programs should be replaned and changed and by this way the insufficiencies of wrestlers should be satisfied before the important competitions.The purpose of this study is to determine the changes occurring in the height, weight, percentage of body fat, anaerobic power, strength, speed, aerobic capacity, anaerobic capacity and flexibility of cadet and junior wrestlers during the general preparation, special preparation, competitive  and off season of training programme and also to determine the effects of this program on these characteristics.
