The International Network of Wrestling Researchers Aim: "Facilitate the development of wrestling through international and intercultural understanding and cooperation; and to support wrestling-related research and education.
The International Network of Wrestling Researchers-Objectives Identify Wrestling Researchers/scientists and their areas of work from around the world. Create opportunities for researchers to connect and share ideas through a communication network. To provide expert advice for decision-makers in our sport. INWR
Objectives, cont d To provide researchers with opportunities for publications and presentations. (Int J Wrestling Science) To improve the availability of research-related sources. To encourage and support wrestling-related educational activities. To support and facilitate wrestling teaching and coaching methods. INWR
Objectives, cont d To work collaboratively and explore partnerships with other organizations and programs who can benefit from the intellectual resources of this organization. Providing a discussion forum to enable communication between all those who use our official website. Encourage and support wrestling related activities between students and researchers. Create a database of wrestling-related research articles for open access. INWR
What is the Nature of Wrestling Science? It is no longer possible for a wrestling coach to limit his work to on the mat training only. Modern training implies the increasing impact of several scientific disciplines. The coach should know the theory of his sport, the methodology of sports training, and the principles of anatomy, physiology, psychology, and biomechanics. Finally, his work must not be limited to only working with the outstanding sportsman, he should equally devote himself to the work with children and young sportsmen. It is on you, the wrestling coaches that the future of the sport depends. Milan Ercegan, 1976
The Possible Parameters of Wrestling Research The great Alexander Medved has described wrestling as a synthesis of several sports and defines it follows: In order to become a wrestler one should have the strength of a weightlifter,the agility of an acrobat, the endurace of a runner and the tactical mind of a chess master.

Medicine or Sportmedicine is not all inclusive of the domains that require scientific study For example, the following are recent scientific studies that can have an important impact on the sport, but are not truly medical in nature: Shakhmuradov Y., Podlivaev B., - RAISING THE LEVEL OF TECHNICAL-TACTICAL ACTIONS IN STANDING BY INCLUDING LEG ACTIONS AS SUBSIDIARY ELEMENTS
