Student Work
Nutrition in Wrestling
PublicThe purpose of this study is to examine the weight loss practices of wrestlers. Data were obtained through a survey of over 154 wrestlers and a questionnaire distributed to 7 high school coaches. The results indicate that current wrestlers often practice poor nutritional and dietary habits, which impedes their performance. Binge eating after weigh-ins is another problem that leads to weight fluctuation and dehydration. The NCAA has imposed regulations to limit weight fluctuations, however poor weight management practices still persist. -
