PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound (ULTRA) in assessing fat-free mass (FFM) in comparison with hydrostatic weighing (HW) and skinfolds (SK) in high school wrestlers in a hydrated state. METHODS Body composition was determined by ULTRA, HW, and three-site SK in 70 high school wrestlers (mean +/- SD: age, 15.5 +/- 1.5; height, 1.60 +/- 0.08 m; body mass, 65.8 +/- 12.7 kg). For all m...

BACKGROUND Wrestling was an important part of the ancient Olympic Games and is still one of the most popular events of the modern Olympic Games.
