Purpose: The current study aims to investigate the effect of a comprehensive warm-up program on functional movement (FM) patterns and landing errors of young male wrestlers.
Methods: For this purpose, 50 wrestlers from Karaj City, Iran were selected as available to participate in the research and then randomly divided into two equal experimental groups (25 people) and a control group (25 people). Then, the landing error scoring system (LESS) test was used to evaluate the landing error, and deep squat, lunge, shoulder mobility, and rotational stability tests were used to measure the quality of movement patterns, and finally, the Nordic questionnaire was used to measure musculoskeletal pain. The experimental group performed special wrestling warm-up exercises for eight weeks and three sessions of 30 minutes per week.
Results: The results of the chi-square test showed that the musculoskeletal pain in the knee area of the subjects in the experimental group improved significantly after eight weeks of training (P=0.04), but the musculoskeletal pain in the shoulder and trunk of the wrestlers did not improve significantly (P>0.05). The results of the U-Man-Whitney U test showed that among the variables related to performance, no significant difference was observed in the post-test in the right and left shoulder mobility test (P<0.05) and in other research tests, a significant difference was observed between the two groups (P<0.05).
Conclusion: We conclude that trainers can use the training protocol of the present research to improve landing error and musculoskeletal pain in the knee joint, along with other common training protocols.
