Purpose: In this study, our aim was to determine the effects of wrestling shoes, wrestling mats and wrestling styles on postural deformation of the foot and to elaborate its possible causes. Material: Study group comprised of 158 athletes (109 males, 59 females) from 26 different countries who participated in the 12th World University Wrestling Championship. Of the athletes, 102 (59 females, 43 males) performed in freestyle and 56 performed in Greco-Roman style. The age range of the athletes was 19 to 31 years and they have done wrestling for 3 to 18 years. Were evaluated to determine the relationship between flatfoot deformity and gender, age, wrestling style and years in the sport. Footprint parameters were used to determine and evaluate the overall structure of the foot. The Staheli and the Chippaux-Smirak indexes were used in the study. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS v.21.0 software, with the significance level set at α=0.05. Results: No significant relationship was found either between the gender of the wrestlers or their age and their pes planus state. A significant relationship was detected between the wrestling style performed and the wrestlers’ pes planus state, and between the years in the sport and their pes planus state. Conclusion: The fact that wrestlers wear the wrestling shoes for a long time can be a cause of pes planus. The center of mass of freestyle wrestlers shifts during continuous feet movement, and the surface of their soles extends the contact surface on the mat to maintain balance. This situation can also lead to a higher prevalence of pes planus in wrestlers. In addition, the wrestling shoes wrap around the Achilles tendon and thus the stretching of this tendon is restricted. Such restriction strengthens the opinion that freestyle wrestlers experience pes planus more.

研究摔跤装备对摔跤者扁平足畸形的影响

目的：在这项研究中，我们的目的是确定摔跤鞋，摔跤垫和摔跤方式对脚的姿势变形的影响，并阐明其可能的原因。资料：研究小组由来自26个不同国家的158名运动员组成（109名男性，59名女性），他们参加了第十二届世界大学摔跤锦标赛。在运动员中，自由式表演的有102位（女性59位，男性43位），希腊罗马风格则有56位。运动员的年龄范围是19至31岁，他们进行了3至18岁的摔跤。进行评估以确定扁平足畸形与性别，年龄，摔跤风格和运动年限之间的关系。足迹参数用于确定和评估脚的整体结构。研究中使用了Staheli指数和Chippaux-Smirak指数。使用SPSS v.21.0软件进行统计分析，显着性水平设置为α= 0.05。结果：摔跤运动员的性别，年龄和阴茎扁平状态之间无显着关系。在进行的摔跤风格与摔跤运动员的pes扁平状态之间，以及在这项运动的年限与其pes planus状态之间发现了显着的关系。结论：摔跤运动员长时间穿着摔跤鞋这一事实可能是引起扁平疣的原因。自由式摔跤运动员的脚心在连续的脚部运动过程中会移动，并且其脚掌的表面会扩展垫子上的接触表面以保持平衡。这种情况也可能导致摔跤运动员的扁平疣患病率更高。此外，摔跤鞋缠绕了跟腱，因此该腱的伸展受到限制。这样的限制增强了自由式摔跤手更多地体验平面运动的观点。
