Sažetak: This study aimed to compare anthropometric characteristics, body composition, and physical performance parameters between more and less experienced wrestlers to determine the influence of competitive experience on key performance indicators. A total of 47 male wrestlers were divided into two groups based on their competitive experience: more experienced (n=22, >6 years) and less experienced (n=25, <6 years). Anthropometric measurements included body mass, height, body mass index (BMI), and body fat percentage (BF%). Performance assessments consisted of the countermovement jump (CMJ), handgrip strength (HGS), and the Specific Wrestling Fitness Test (SWFT). Group differences were analyzed using t-tests for independent samples, and discriminant canonical analysis. More experienced wrestlers had significantly lower body fat percentage (p=0.04) and better performance in the SWFT repetitions test (p=0.001) compared to their less experienced counterparts. They also exhibited a lower heart rate response during the SWFT (p=0.01), indicating better recovery capacity. Also, competing experience was correlated to SWFT repetitions (R=0.51) and SWFT index (R=-0.45). Wrestling experience appears to be associated with wrestling-specific performance. However, the experience did not significantly influence absolute strength or explosive power. These findings suggest that training programs for less experienced wrestlers should emphasize wrestling-specific performance development to improve performance.
