Brief Summary: The objective of this observational study is to assess the long-term impact of a combined slow and rapid weight reduction strategy on the physiological performance mental state and sleep quality of male freestyle wrestlers The primary question it seeks to address is
Does the combined weight reduction approach affect the physiological performance mental state and sleep quality of male freestyle wrestlers during the pre-competition period
Participants will undergo tests at three stages of their weight reduction process T1 T2 T3 over a period of 38 days prior to the competition providing data on various physiological and psychological indicators
Detailed Description: The goal of this observational study is to investigate the long-term effects of a combined slow and rapid weight reduction strategy on the physiological performance mental state and sleep quality of male freestyle wrestlers over the period leading up to a competition The main question it aims to answer is
Does the combined weight reduction approach affect the physiological performance mental state and sleep quality of male freestyle wrestlers when implemented during the pre-competition phase
Participants who are already undergoing this weight reduction strategy as part of their regular training regimen for the 2024 Chinese Wrestling Championships will be assessed at three distinct time points over a 38-day period The study will involve the following detailed procedures
Participant Selection The study includes 16 male freestyle wrestlers from Sichuan Province China with an average age of 202 years and extensive competitive experience
Study Duration The observation period spans 38 days prior to the competition divided into a 30-day slow weight reduction phase and a 7-day rapid weight reduction phase with the final assessment conducted the day before the competition
Data Collection Participants will undergo a series of tests at three time points T1 T2 T3
T1 First day of slow weight reduction T2 First day of rapid weight reduction T3 The day before the competition
Testing Indicators
Physiological performance will be measured through heart rate blood pressure blood tests for markers like creatine kinase testosterone and immunoglobulin G body composition analysis and anaerobic power testing
Mental state will be evaluated using the Profile of Mood States questionnaire assessing mood dimensions such as tension anger fatigue depression energy confusion and self-esteem
Sleep quality will be assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index a questionnaire that evaluates sleep quality over the past month
Data Analysis The study will analyze changes in physiological performance mental state and sleep quality from T1 to T3 looking for significant differences that may indicate the impact of the weight reduction strategy
Ethical Considerations The study is approved by the Ethics Committee for Human Experiments at Sichuan Sports College and adheres to the Declaration of Helsinki All participants provide informed consent
Study Hypothesis There will be significant differences in the changes in physiological performance mental state and sleep quality of male freestyle wrestlers during the pre-competition slow and rapid weight reduction training period
