Özet
The aim of the study is to compare body composition and maximal oxygen consumption of elite boxing and wrestling
athletes and to investigate the relationship between body composition and maximal oxygen consumption. A total of 26 elite
athletes (13 boxing and 13 wrestling) were included in the study. On the same day, the and body composition assessment and
maximal oxygen consumption measurement of the athletes were performed. Body composition evaluation of athletes was made
with MF-BIA (Tanita MC-980, 1000 kHz, Tokyo, Japan) device. Maximal oxygen consumption measurement was made using a
direct method breath-by-breath automatic portable gas analysis system (Cosmed K5, Italy). Mann Whitney U Test and
Spearman Correlation Test were used for statistical analysis. The statistical significance level was determined as p <0.05. There
was not any difference in body weight, body fat percentage, and relative oxygen consumption values of boxing and wrestling
athletes (p> 0.05); however, there were statistically significant differences in the Body Mass Index, muscle mass, absolute
oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, respiratory coefficient, and heart rate values (p <0.05). In boxing and
wrestling athletes, there was a strong negative correlation between BMI and body fat percentage and relative oxygen
consumption values (p <0.05); Muscle mass and relative oxygen consumption values were found to be strong in boxing athletes
and moderate in wrestling athletes (p <0.05). As a result of our study, it has been observed that there is a relationship between
body composition and maximal oxygen consumption of both boxing and wrestling athletes. In addition, with the knowledge
that body composition is important in strength and anaerobic power-based sports branches, it raises the idea that athletes in
these branches should do aerobic exercises to keep their body composition at the targeted levels.
