title: Basic Conditioning Principles for High School Wrestlers.
abstract: In brief: Tired wrestlers bore the crowd and disappoint themselves and their coaches. By contrast, skilled, aggressive wrestlers who are conditioned to attack and defend throughout a six-minute match can generate excitement equal to that of any athletic contest. To maintain the appropriate fitness required to perform at this level, a specific conditioning program is needed. This article describes a conditioning program based on a year-round schedule that helps wrestlers achieve and maintain their highest possible level of performance.
