Sažetak
The aim of this study was to describe and explain wrestling fight lactate and glucose curves and establish the differences between wrestlers of different quality level. The study was conducted on a sample 60 young wrestlers, cadets (N=30, aged 15.5±0.5) and juniors (N=30, aged 18.6±1.2). Every subsample was divided in two quality classes (higher quality n=15, lower quality N=15), according to the national championship ranking. Every subject wrestled one match (3×2 minutes). Heart rate was recorded and blood samples were taken before the match, after each round, and after 5 minutes of sedentary rest. Obtained results clearly suggest that there were no differences in measured physiological parameters between cadets and juniors. Statistically significant difference was determined between the higher and lower quality wrestlers after second and third round and after 5 minutes of sedentary rest in lactate level (p < 0.05), and after rest in glucose level (p < 0.001). This study confirmed the thesis suggesting that anaerobic diagnostics in wrestling through lactate measuring is possible. This study also revealed that anaerobic diagnostics in wrestling can be done even more precise through glucose measuring.
