Rapid Weight Loss Alters Handgrip Strength In Greco-Roman Wrestlers

Effects of rapid weight loss (RWL) on handgrip strength (HGS) in combat sports athletes are still quite indefinite. The aim of this study was to delineate the effect of RWL on HGS in Greco-Roman wrestlers. Handgrip strength was measured during three time points. Baseline measurement was carried out before the weight reduction. Second measurement was done after sport specific training combined together with RWL. Finally, third measurement was carried out after sport specific training alone. Results showed that HGS was significantly greater after a training combined with RWL procedure compared to only specific training for one hand. Findings of this study could potentially improve the trainin…
