Özet

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the muscle damages resulted from wrestling competitions according to the classification of body mass index (BMI) and weight. Voluntary 18 male sportsmen, all of whom participated in international competitions, with age of 20,4 ± 2,8, (years), height of 174 ± 0,5, (cm), weight of 77,4 ± 16,22, (kg), age of beginning to training of 7,45 ± 4,29 (years), and BMI of 21,12±1,01 averagely were selected as subjects for the study. The rules of FILA were applied for the wrestling competitions. The times of meal and resting were taken under control, and therefore, care was taken for submitting similar diets to the subjects. In the study, the levels of serum AST, ALT, LDH, and CK were analyzed so that skeletal muscle damages of the subjects involved in the study could be determined accordingly. Some blood samples were collected from fore arm veins before competitions, immediately after competitions, and 24, 48 and 72 hours after competitions respectively in order to identify the activations of those enzymes. No meaningful difference was observed when the AST, ALT, LDH, and CK levels of the groups were compared with reference to weights and BMI values (p>0, 05), but it was found, when the same time measurements of the groups were checked, that there were some numerical increases at certain time intervals, and then afore stated levels returned to the baseline values at 72nd hour. Consequently, while no statistical difference were identified among the groups as a result of the measurements accomplished for the aspects of both weight and body mass index, some numerical differences were, on the other hand, determined. It has been considered that the reason for having more increased levels, during post-exercise times, for both light and middle weights was due to increased numbers of technical application of competitions for both of these weights, and therefore, the reason for lagging gathering strength times for heavy weight group was due to, with great possibility, increased mechanical loads applied on the muscles for the ones having body fats at excessive amounts without having simultaneous power increase within the cross-sectional area of weight-bearing muscles.
