Sažetak
Theaimofthispaperistodeterminedifferencesbetwee n wrestlers of various degrees of success as regards their physical fitnesslevels.Thesampleofsubjectscomprised 43 Croatian national team Greco-Roman wrestlers aged 15 to 17 years (cadets). They were divided into three groups on the basis of their sports achievements at the national championship (first, second and third places). 16 variables that to the largest extent comprise the Polish test battery for advanced wrestlers (Starosta & Tracewski, 1981, 1998) were used. The obtained results were processed by means of MANOVA and ANOVA. Results showed that three variably successful groups of wrestlers significantly differ in their level of physical fitness. A significant individual contribution to the intergroup differences was obtained for strength endurance of the arms, specific speed and specific endurance. The obtained intergroup differences can be explained by the higher values of sport experience (in years) with the more successful wrestlers. This thesis should be further verifiedbecausesomeexpertwrestling coaches believe that the more successful wrestlers in the national team mostly come from the better organised wrestling clubs in which they train under the guidance of high quality, educated coaches. The results may help in defining the framework of model characteristics of cadet wrestlers.
