Physical Fitness and Anthropometric profile of the Croatian Greeco-Roman Wrestling Team

In this paper we described some morphological, strength and physiological features of the elite male Croatian Greco-Roman wrestlers. Also, we compared the A team (N = 6 ; age 21.2 ± ; 2.3 years) and B team (N = 6 ; age 20.1 ± ; 1.6) in studied variables. All subjects were tested on the 12 morphological variables ; and eight fitness variables (muscular endurance, maximal strength and cardiovascular endurance). Apart from the descriptive statistics, the differences between the A and B team were calculated using the one-way analysis of variance and co-variance. In conclusion, the best Croatian wrestlers are comparable to the world leading wrestlers in most of the morphological and fitness variables. The A and B team differed significantly only in the abdominal strength endurance (sit-up test).
