Important age parameters in wrestling – the differences between the European and world trends

What is optimal age to start doing a certain sport, how many years must one train to win the first globally relevant medal, when an athlete reaches his/her peak sport performance? All these are key issues of profession in any sport and important information for coaches in the field. These age trends have been investigated separately in GR wrestling at the European and World levels [1, 2], but no study has so far focused on the differences between them. Our research established no significant differences in age parameters between the European and World level except for the variable Peak Performance Age in lighter weight groups. This suggests that European wrestling is potent and that it follows world trends.
