Sponsor's own description
This randomized controlled study investigated the psychological effects of a six-week, non-competitive wrestling training program in sedentary adolescent boys. Thirty participants were assigned to either a wrestling group or a control group. Psychological well-being (WHO-5), sport anxiety (SAS-2), and resilience (BPRS) were measured before and after the intervention. The wrestling group showed significant improvements in well-being and psychological resilience, along with marked reductions in total sport anxiety and its subcomponents (worry, somatic anxiety, concentration disruption). All changes demonstrated large effect sizes, while the control group exhibited no meaningful positive changes. Overall, the findings suggest that even short-term, structured wrestling training can enhance emotional well-being, reduce anxiety, and strengthen resilience in adolescent boys. The study highlights wrestling as a promising physical activity for supporting youth mental health.
