Conclusions: The most commonly used tests for evaluating different types of leg strength in wrestlers
are countermovement jump, followed by leg dynamometry, squat and long jump. They are followed by
vertical jump and long jump. We can conclude that additional testing equipment that requires certain
financial resources from wrestling clubs or federations is not expensive and that most wrestling clubs
or federations use this equipment. With these tests, it is possible to compare the achievements of
wrestlers in a clubs or national teams. Monitoring the results in tests for different types of leg strength
is important because most of the points in a wrestling match are won with gut wrench and lifts from
parterre and in both cases leg strength is extremely important. Norms in the tests for the assessment of
leg strength could be a goal in future research on a population of wrestlers.
Key words: Greco-Roman, freestyle, exercise, leg strength, success in wrestling, physical fitness
