Abstract

This comparative kinanthropometric study examines the physical profiles of male judo and wrestling players in the Sirsa District. Judo and wrestling are dynamic combat sports requiring distinct physiological attributes. Through a comprehensive assessment of kinanthropometric variables, including body composition, somatotype, and strength measurements, this research aims to unveil the unique physical characteristics of judo and wrestling athletes. The findings offer valuable insights into the sport-specific adaptations that underlie performance in these disciplines, aiding coaches, trainers, and sports scientists in designing targeted training regimens and talent identification strategies.
