In wrestling, in addition to technical and tactical training, success largely depends on physical prepardness. The subject of this paper is morphological composition and success in specific wrestling tests. The aim of the paper is to examine the direct influence of the level of prepardness on success and the indirect influence on morphological composition in wrestlers. Success is defined by the total number of throws in both the shorter Specific Wrestling Fitness Test (SWFT) and the longer and more physically demanding Specific Wrestling Performance Test (SWPT). Morphological composition is defined by the percentage values of body fat (PBFM) and muscle mass (PSMM). The sample consists of 26 wrestlers, divided into two groups, in 4 different ways, from the aspect of prepardness. In this regard, preparedness was defined by the movement of lactate values from the 3rd to the 5th minute, in subjects whose lactates increased (La3-5min.↑) and decreased (La3-5min.↓), by the percentage of pulse rate recovery to the 1st (∆HR1min ≤9.99% and ≥5.99%) and 5th (∆HR5min ≤39.99% and ≥40%) minute, and the number of throws in the tests (≤25 and ≥26 on the SWFT; ≤34 and ≥35 on the SWPT). The applied t test determined the absence of a statistically significant difference between the defined groups of lactate value movements as a function of the number of throws on both the SWFT (p = 0.867) and the SWPT (p = 0.131). It was also found that there were no statistically significant differences in PBFM (p = 0.769) and PSMM (p = 0.601) on the SWFT, while the longer SWPT, with its demands, showed a significant difference in PBFM (p = 0.031) and PSMM (p = 0.018) in favor of the faster metabolic recovery. Further analysis of the difference revealed no statistically significant difference between the groups with different levels of pulse rate recovery both up to the 1st and 5th minute, regardless of the variables and the test (p = 0.067 – 0.918). The defined groups of success on the tests as a function of the level of preparedness are statistically significantly different by the nature of the data distribution regardless of the test (p = 0.000), while from the morphological aspect they also showed significant differences in the PBFM both on the SWFT (p = 0.001) and on the SWPT (p = 0.000), and in the PSMM but only on the more demanding test (SWPT, p = 0.044).
