This study investigated the effect of intensive training on some blood values in 13-15 year old wrestlers. METHODS: Wrestler and control group blood samples were taken (n=31) in June 2011. Analysis of the data was done with the Windows SPSS statistical program, utilizing the t-test. RESULT: There was no significant difference between wrestlers and a control group for age, height and body weight (p> 0.05). Lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels found in the control group than the wrestlers (p <0.05). Wrestlers had LDL-C values that were higher than the control group, while their HDL-C values were lower. The wrestler`s lower HDL-C values were not significant, while their LDL-C values were significantly higher (p <.05) than the control group. There were significant difference between the wrestler and the control group for creatinine level differences p<0.001 and glucose values differences p<005. The wrestler`s cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL-C values were higher than the control group, and HDL-C values were lower. CONCLUSIONS: The reason for these unexpected levels, may be found in the training intensity, nutrition, and weight loss for competition. The wrestler`s age must be considered and the appropriate training, work and rest intervals, and nutrition should be better regulated.
