| Abstract |
| Wrestling is one of the oldest and most dynamic sports in the world, which combines strength, endurance, flexibility, neuromuscular coordination, and tactical strategies. Due to its analog-aerobic nature and the need for precise weight control, this sport imposes significant physiological and psychological pressures on athletes. In such conditions, cardiovascular health and the body's physiological responses to intense training are of particular importance. In recent years, with the advancement of wearable technologies and non-invasive methods of performance assessment, cardiac monitoring has been considered as a vital tool in the prevention of cardiac complications, early detection of overtraining, and optimization of training programs. Indicators such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Continuous Heart Rate Monitoring, and Electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern analysis allow for a more accurate assessment of the autonomic nervous system and the body's recovery after heavy training. At the same time, training monitoring, using quantitative and qualitative metrics—such as training load, perceived exertion (session-RPE), and performance indicators—allows coaches and researchers to tailor training programs based on the individual athlete’s response. In a discipline like wrestling, where training is often performed at high intensity and under weight-controlled conditions, an imbalance between training load and recovery can lead to decreased performance, increased risk of cardiac injury, and overtraining symptoms. Given the limitations of previous studies on cardiac monitoring in wrestlers—especially at the adolescent and youth levels—this article aims to comprehensively review the methods and indicators used in cardiac monitoring and training monitoring in wrestlers. The main goal is to provide an integrated framework for integrating cardiac physiological data with training indicators to ensure athlete health and help coaches and exercise physiologists customize training programs and prevent phenomena such as overtraining or chronicity. |
