DEVELOPMENT OE EQUATION TO PREDICT THE MINIMAL W R E S T L I N G W E I G H T O F Y O U N G (11-13 Y E A R S O F A G E ) TURKISH WRESTLERS
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop to predict minimal wrestling weight of the small Turkish wrestlers who has to arrange their weight in a healthy way. The subject of this study were 169 prepubescent wrestlers. They had choosen by the Turkish Wrestling Federation to bi placed at the wrestling schools. Following measurements of all subjects were taken; under water weighting, anthropometric diameter measurements and vital capacity measurement. The equations to predict minimal weight was obtained through multiple linear Regression statistical
method,where real minimal weight with 5 (7c minimal fat determined throi weighting was dependent variable New equations for pn follows.
MWI= 0.5705 x Weight (kg) + 0. 1358 x Height (cm) +0.4575 x Chest an. Right hand diameter (Icm) - 0. 1116 x Iliac diameter (cm.)- 21.037 SE= 1.8)
MWII = 0.5572 x Weight (kg.) + 0.1311 x Height (cm.) + i 1.2669 x Right hand diameter (cm.) - 21. 922 (r = 0.9244 SE =1.8)
The validity of Oppliger and Tipton's minimal wrestling weight equations wrestlers were checked and none of them were found to be more valid than new regression equations for this group of subjects.
