Introduction

Amateur Wrestling is a high-intensity intermittent activity which is both aerobic and anaerobic lasting 6–7 minutes. As a result, a wrestler should train both aerobically and anaerobically based on Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands (SAID Principle). The physiological components of wrestling success can be broken down into “Maximal Power Output”, “Entire Match Wrestling Power Output”, and “flexibility”. “Maximal Power Output” is governed primarily by maximal force output while “Entire Match Wrestling Power Output” is dependent on maximal force output, anaerobic capacity, and critical power. Maximal force output is maximal strength, anaerobic capacity is the total ability to generate energy anaerobically, and critical power is the maximal sustainable power output that is entirely aerobic. Flexibility is just a measure of joint range of motion.
