Sažetak
Introduction Success in wrestling depends on many different factors. A large number of wrestling coaches believe that strength is the most important, especially leg strength. Most points in a wrestling match are won using gut wrench and lifts from parterre (Dokmanac, M. & Slačanac, K. (2018) and Rocikler, R. et. al (2020)). The study aim is to summarize the relevant literature in one place, including the studies that have analyzed leg strength in wrestlers, regardless of style (Greco- Roman and freestyle) and to determine which tests are most commonly used to assess different types of strength. Method A literature search of 3 databases (Google Scholar, PubMed and Science Direct) was conducted. The identified studies had to meet the following criteria: year of publication (2010-2021), being published in English, wrestlers as sample of participants, who do not suffer from acute and chronic injuries. Results and discussion A total of 22 studies were included, with a total of 1207 participants, both genders. Countermovement jump has been implemented in 8 studies, long jump and leg dynamometry in 6 studies, squad also in 6 studies. Followed by squat jump and vertical jump, which were used in 3 studies. Different methods of isokinetic testing were used in 4 studies. Drop jump and isometric strength of legs were also used in only 1 study. Conclusion The most commonly used tests for evaluating different types of leg strength in wrestlers are countermovement jump, followed by leg dynamometry, squat and long jump. They are followed by vertical jump and long jump. We can conclude that additional testing equipment that requires certain financial resources from wrestling clubs or federations is not expensive and that most wrestling clubs or federations use this equipment. With these tests, it is possible to compare the achievements of wrestlers in clubs or national teams. Monitoring the results in tests for different types of leg strength is important because most of the points in a wrestling match are won with gut wrench and lifts from parterre and in both cases leg strength is extremely important. Norms in the tests for the assessment of leg strength could be a goal in future research on a population of wrestlers.
