Abstract :The aim of present study was to evaluate the relation of anthropometric, physical fitness traits and lung capacities with success of Iranian elite Greco-Roman wrestlers. Twenty five Iranian elite Greco-Roman wrestlers insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(22 ± 4 years old); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(both of light and heavy weights); participated in present study. Anthropometric characteristics, physical fitness traits and lung capacities were tested in the exercise physiology laboratory. Our results showed a significant and positive correlation between arm spam, as only anthropometric trait, and success of Iranian elite Greco-Roman wrestlers. Also, maximal oxygen consumption, dead lift, squat, bench press, agility, shoulder and-wrist elevation, sit and reach, reaction time-eye/left hand, reaction time-eye/foot, reaction time-ear/left hand, reaction time-ear/foot have positive correlation with their success. Furthermore, there were a significant and positive correlations between inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(second);, maximal voluntary ventilation and success. In contrast, we observed a negative and significant correlation between body fat insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(%); and success of Iranian elite Greco-Roman wrestlers. Physical fitness traits and lung capacities have greater potential than anthropometric characteristics in the prediction of Greco-Roman wrestler`s success in championship levels.
