Aim: This study was conducted to find out the dietary status and anthropometric measurements of wrestlers registered in a private sports club in İstanbul. Method: Dietary status and anthropometric measurements of wrestlers were examined in this study. All of the wrestlers were free style wrestlers. All of the wrestlers in the study were male. Face-to-face interviews were made with 30 wrestlers, 25 of whom were in national team. Body composition, body fat, body fluid ratio, bone mass, visceral adiposity, basal metabolic rate, muscle mass of the athletes were measured with Tanita BC-730 and their three-day food consumption records (one of these three days being weekend) were taken. Statistical data of the individuals in the study were evaluated with SPSS 22 statistics program. Arithmetic mean (X) ± standard deviation (SD), percentage and frequency (%) distributions were calculated. Results: Mean age of the athletes included in the study was 21.13 ± 0.72 years. Tanita measurements of the athletes were found as 2104.6 ± 72.06 kkal for basal metabolic rate, as 3.20 ± 0.58 for visceral adiposity (%), as 67.22 ± 2.15 for muscle mass (kg), as 4.66 ± 1.12 for bone mass (kg), as 61.63 ± 0.75 for body fluid ratio (%) and as 12.62 ± 0.97 for body fat ratio (%).When mean three-day food consumptions of the athletes were examined, energy consumption was found as 2999.68 ± 138.87 cal, protein consumption was found as 136.57 ± 8.08 g, fat consumption was found as 148.2 ± 8.40 g, carbohydrate consumption was found as 281.67 ± 19.80 g and pulp consumption was found as 24.88 ± 1.74 g. Mean Vitamin A intake of the wrestlers was found as 1974.74 ± 125.30 μg, while their mean carotene intake was 4.4 ± 0.64 mg, mean Vitamin E intake was found as 24.83 ± 2.48 mg, mean Vitamin B2 intake was found as 2.32 ± 0.12 mg, mean Vitamin B1 intake was found as 1.51 ± 0.14 mg, mean Vitamin B6 intake was found as 2.02 ± 0.10 mg, mean total folic acid intake was found as 436.52 ± 18.96μg and mean Vitamin C intake was found as 145.18 ± 18.10 mg. In our study, when the mineral consumption of the wrestlers was examined, sodium consumption was found as 7708.27±681.6 mg; mean potassium intake was found as 3583.05±185.24 mg; mean calcium intake was found as 1106.34±66.76 mg; mean magnesium intake was found as 399.29 ±17.58 mg; mean iron intake was found as 18.68 ±1.01 mg; mean zinc intake was found as 18.8 ±1.24 mg and mean phosphorus intake was found as 1908.93 ± 98.03 mg.
Conclusion: In order for athletes who will represent our country to have top level performance, appropriate lists should be prepared by dietitians who are experts about sports nutrition; in addition, athletes should be trained about the importance of sufficient and balanced nutrition before, during and after competitions.
