For the research group anthropometric measurements were applied to calculate BMI, body fat percentage, fat free mass (FMM), somatotype rates and some biomotoric test protocols which are pinch, hand grip, leg strength, vertical jumps, speed, agility, flexibility and balance abilities so that the study was determined profiles and compared variables for Olympic level Greco-Roman and Freestyle wrestlers. Results. The present study has found differences for mesomorph values, elastic strength, agility and linear speed abilities between Greco-Roman and Freestyle wrestlers. There is a strong relationship between FFM and anaerobic power for both wrestling styles. Besides, it was observed that the leg strength ability is an important component which supports speed, agility, balance and other strength variables for Greco-Roman wrestlers.
