Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Ramadan fasting (RF) on body composition, aerobic and anaerobic POWER and strength in elite wrestlers. Sixteen male elite wrestlers (age 20.12 ± 2.5 years, height 171 ± 8.4 cm and BF% 13.39 ± 4.94) participated in this study. The subjects were tested two times [3 days before the beginning of Ramadan (pre-RF) and the last 3 days of Ramadan (post-RF). Body composition was measured using the body composition analyzer, aerobic POWER by Bruce test and anaerobic POWER by RAST test. Strength was measured in 3 parts of body [Upper limb (bench press), leg (squat) and trunk (dead lift)]. Results of Paired-samples T test indicated that there were no significant changes in anaerobic POWER and strength of wrestlers before and after RF. Significant decreases were found in body composition and aerobic POWER between Pre-RF and post-RF. This study indicated that Ramadan fasting led to a decrease in aerobic POWER and body fat percentage. Anyway, Ramadan fasting had no adverse effect on the subjects. Athletes can save their physical capacity and sport performance with delicacy in choose in training type and volume, daily caloric intake and food type, body fluid and electrolytic balance, total sleeping hours.
