Differences in Performance Indicators Between Winners and Defeated Female Cadet Wrestlers

Abstract

Freestyle wrestling for women is characterised as complex polystructural acyclic movement activity of high intensity. The aim of this research is to determine the differences in performance between winners and defeated female cadet freestyle wrestlers at European championship for Cadets, held in Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) in 2010.  The research is based on the analysis of 415 wrestling techniques performed successfully, out of which the female cadet winners have achieved  n= 330 (Standing position n= 203, Parterre position n= 127), while the defeated ones achieved n=85 techniques (Standing position n= 64, Parterre position n= 21). The comparison between the winners and the defeated female cadets has been based on several performance indicators by the use of notational analysis of video recordings. Wilcoxon test confirms the differences in performances between winners and defeated female cadet wrestlers in regards to the Standing position (p<.001), Parterre position (p<.001), scored points in the Standing position (p<.001), in the Parterre position (p<.001), and for the most of individual wrestling techniques from Standing and Parterre position, in which case the Take Down (p<.001 )in Standing position technique is the most dominant among the winners, and a turn-over by twisting the opponent with an arm and head  (p<.001) is the most dominant in Parterre position. The results indicate the differences in the performances between the winners and defeated cadets, which can assist in planning and programming training processes, but as well help in further analysis of different wrestling styles.
