ABSTRACT:
Psychophysiological characterizations were made of qualifiers and non-qualifiers participating in the 1979 United States Junior World Wrestling Camp. The average qualifier was: marginally lower in grip strength, lower in relative dynamic anaerobic muscular endurance, more aerobically fit, and slightly higher in percentage body fat as compared to the average non-qualifier. Psychologically, the average qualifier was higher in state anxiety and tension but less depressed, angry, vigorous, and confused than the non-qualifier. A revised model including factors such as psychomotor skill, memory, balance, and additional psychophysiological measures is suggested. Replicates the use of a psychophysiological model in the assessment of variables that influence elite wrestling success. Collected psychological as well as anthropological and physiological data. Descriptive data comparing qualifiers and non-qualifiers is presented. Results from the psychological data indicated that the average qualifier was higher in state anxiety and tension, but less depressed, angry, vigorous, fatigued and confused than non-qualifiers.
