| Summary: | The aim of the present study was to examine Core stability, Balance and FMS scores differences between Freestyle and Greco-Roman youth wrestlers.30 Freestyle wrestlers (age 17/60±1/00 years, height: 1/74±0/06, weight: 75/03±16/73 kg, BMI: 24/54±4/66 kg/m²) and 30 Greco-Roman wrestlers (age 17/73±1/17 years, height: 1/74±0/06, weight: 70/10±12/88 kg, BMI: 23/05±3/42 kg/m²) participated in this study. Core stability determined using a standard sit and reach test, Balance determined using YBT. The FMS developed by Cook was used to assess functional movement (3). Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestlers were analyzed by the Independent Sample t-Test. A value of (p ≤ 0.05) was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The Greco-Roman wrestlers had a significantly higher scores Core stability than Freestyle wrestlers. The Freestyle wrestlers had a significantly higher scores Balance than Greco-Roman wrestlers. No significant differences were found in the FMS scores between Freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestlers (p > 0.05). Discussion: , the differences between Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestlers may be due to the wrestling style differences in training and to competition related demands.
