Abstract:
Greco-Roman wrestling is physically demanding and technically complicated, requiring high-level integration across various domains. Elite athletes must synchronize high physiological capacities, refined technical skills, and strong psychological traits. This thorough analysis synthesizes diverse research and the latest technological advances on these crucial performance efficiency variables. Elite Greco-Roman wrestlers have superior upper-body muscular strength and explosive power, anaerobic energy systems that support repeated bouts of maximal effort, and aerobic endurance that aids recovery and tournament performance. Complex wrestling tactics are optimized by neuromuscular adaptations including coordination, proprioception, and reaction time, while favorable anthropometric profiles and hormonal balance support athletic output and recuperation. Mastery of throws, clinches, and par terre movements and smart tactical decision-making determine match outcomes. Advanced video analysis and motion capture allow biomechanical assessment and skill improvement. Peak performance requires mental toughness, concentration, emotional management, and effective coping mechanisms for competition-related stress and rapid weight loss. Wearable sensors and machine learning enable real-time performance monitoring and personalised training changes, enhancing athlete readiness and injury prevention. Mapping growth pathways and guaranteeing career success requires longitudinal interdisciplinary athlete profiling. This evaluation advises coaches, practitioners, and sports scientists on holistic, evidence-based training and support systems to improve elite Greco-Roman wrestling performance and well-being.
