Evaluation of leg-to-leg BIA in assessing body composition of high-school wrestlers

Article Abstract:

The accuracy of leg-to-leg bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in assessing fat-free mass (FFM) using the TBF-300WA in comparison with hydrostatic weighing (HW) and skinfolds (SK) in high-school (HS) wrestlers in a hydrated state is evaluated. It is demonstrated that SK should be considered as the preferred field method of estimating the FFM of HS wrestlers because of its greater individual precision than the leg-to-leg BIA method.

Hydration testing in collegiate wrestlers undergoing hypertonic dehydration

Article Abstract:

A study to determine the accuracy of hydration tests for the detection and quantification of hypertonic dehydration (DEH) by experimenting on 25 male collegiate wrestlers is presented. The study supports a specific gravity cutoff of 1.020 g.mL (-1) for identifying hypertonic DEH, indicating the need for future research to test the cutoff values established in this study and explore the relationship between DEH and urine protein.

Trunk muscle strength and disability level of low back pain in collegiate wrestlers

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to examine the relationship between isokinetic trunk muscle strength and the functional disability level of chronic Low Back Pain (LBP). The conclusion sates that relatively low strength of trunk extensors may be one of the factors related to non-specific chronic LBP in collegiate wrestlers.
