Investigation of the Effects of Circuit Training in Unit Training in Wrestlers Aged 11-13
Abstract
The aim of this research is to examine the effect of circuit strength training applied to wrestlers aged 11-13 on body composition and fluid balance in unit training. 20 male wrestling athletes with an average age of 11.44±1.15 years and an average height of 147.45±11.68 cm, who regularly perform their training in Davraz Sports Club and participate in circuit strength training at least once in these trainings, voluntarily participated in our research provided. Body composition values of the athletes were performed with the Inbody-720 bioelectrical impedance analyzer in accordance with the test protocols.Pre-post test measurements of body weight, total body water, body fat weight, protein, mineral, body fat ratio, BMI, skeletal muscle weight, visceral fat level, waist-hip ratio and in-body score of the athletes participating in our research were performed.In our study, there was no statistically significant difference in body fat weight, total body water, body fat ratio, protein, mineral, skeletal muscle weight, visceral fat level, BMI, in body score (p>0.05), but waist hip ratio. and body weight values were found to be significantly different (p<0.01). As a result of our study, it was determined that circuit strength training applied to wrestlers between the ages of 11-13 had positive effects on some body parameters measured by Bioelectrical Impedance technology and statistically significant changes occurred.
