The
aim of this study was to comparison of physical fitness and respiratory
parameters of wrestlers and judokas. A total of 24 athletes in the 19-21 age
range, 12 male wrestlers and 12 male judoists were volunteers. Physical fitness parameters for subjects; age, body
weight, height, body mass index (BMI), body fat
percentage (BF%), hand grip strength, 20 m sprint tests, maxVO2,
vertical jump, as respiratory parameters, forced expiratory volume (FEV1),
forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiration ratio (FEV1/FVC), maximum
voluntary volume (MVV) and vital capacity (VC) test measurements were
performed. Independent Samples T test was used to analyze the data. In the
physical fitness parameters of the groups; Age, body weight, height, BMI, BF%,
20 m sprint test, maxVO2 and vertical jumping values were not
significant. The right and left hand grip strength values were found to be
significant in favor of wrestlers. FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, MVV and VC values were
not significantly different between the groups. As a result; as the technical
structure and performance components of wrestling and judo branches show
similar characteristics, it can be said that wrestlers and judoists have
similar characteristics in terms of physical fitness and respiratory
parameters.
