  • Title: Weight Management Counseling for Wrestling Athletes.
    Author: Woodroffe L, Donnenwerth JJ, Peterson AR.
    Journal: Pediatr Ann; 2016 Mar; 45(3):e87-90. PubMed ID: 27031316.
    Abstract:
    Helping a wrestler manage body weight can be a daunting process for a pediatric health care provider. Each high school wrestling program has been mandated by the National Federation of State High School Associations to determine an appropriate weight classification for each individual wrestler. This article discusses how an appropriate weight class is determined, the methods for ascertaining a person's hydration status and body density, and the importance of a fully hydrated and normally nourished state that will allow for optimal athletic performance for a wrestler.
