Performance-enhancing effects of caffeine and L-Theanine among Iranian elite wrestlers: a focus on cognitive and specific physical performance
Caffeine is a well-known ergogenic aid that can enhance physical and cognitive performance. However, it often induces side effects, such as anxiety and overstimulation, which can be problematic in high-pressure sports like wrestling. L-theanine, a non-stimulant amino acid found in tea, may help mitigate these effects by promoting a calm yet focused mental state. This study aimed to investigate the acute effects of caffeine, L-theanine, and their combination on physical performance, cognitive function, and anxiety in elite male wrestlers.
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design, 12 elite male wrestlers (21.8 ± 2.1 years) completed four test sessions under randomized conditions: placebo (PLA), caffeine (CAF; 3 mg/kg), L-theanine (THE; 3 mg/kg), and caffeine + L-theanine (CAF+THE; 3 mg/kg each). After 60 minutes, athletes performed the wall-squat test, vertical jump height (VJH), medicine ball throw (MBT), handgrip strength, and the Specific Wrestling Fitness Test (SWFT). Cognitive function was assessed pre- and post-SWFT using a computerized Stroop test. Anxiety was assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and side effects were recorded.
CAF+THE outperformed PLA in wall-squat time (
= 0.001), MBT (
= 0.005), VJH (
= 0.011), and grip strength (
= 0.004). SWFT throw count was highest in CAF+THE versus all other conditions (
< 0.001). Post-SWFT Stroop reaction time was faster in CAF+THE than PLA (
= 0.004) and THE (
= 0.036), and accuracy was also higher (
= 0.009 vs PLA). CAF alone increased state anxiety compared to PLA (
= 0.021), while CAF+THE reduced anxiety to below placebo levels (8% incidence vs 33%). Trait anxiety was lower in CAF+THE compared to CAF (
= 0.018). The prevalence of caffeine-induced tachycardia (92%) was notably reduced under CAF+THE (17%).
CAF+THE (3 mg/kg each) enhances elite wrestlers' strength, endurance, cognitive speed, and accuracy while reducing anxiety and physiological side effects commonly associated with caffeine alone. This combination represents a safe, practical supplement strategy for combat sports athletes who must maintain explosive performance and mental control under stress. Coaches are encouraged to trial CAF+THE protocols during training to personalize timing and dosage.

Poster 119: Outcomes of Shoulder Instability Surgery in Competitive Wrestlers: Outcomes, Reoperations, and Return to Play at 5 years Mean Follow Up
Objectives:
Wrestling is a physically demanding sport with young athletes prone to traumatic shoulder instability (SI). However, there is a paucity of data evaluating the results of shoulder instability surgery (SIS) in this cohort of athletes. The purpose of this study is to assess reoperation rates, patient-reported outcomes (PRO), and return to wrestling (RTW) following SIS in a cohort of competitive wrestlers.
Methods:
All competitive wrestlers with a history of SI and subsequent surgery at a single institution between 1996 and 2020 were identified. All directions of SI (anterior SI [ASI], posterior SI [PSI], and traumatic multidirectional SI [TMDI]) were analyzed. Exclusion criteria included revision SIS and less than 2 years of clinical follow-up. Patients were contacted for determination of reinjury rates, return to wrestling (RTW), and Western Ontario Shoulder Instability index (WOSI) scores.
Results:
Ultimately, 104 wrestlers were included at a mean follow-up of 5.2 years (range, 2.0 – 22.0). Fifty-eight (55.8%) wrestlers presented for evaluation after a single SI event while 46 (44.2%) sustained multiple events prior to presentation. ASI was the most common direction (n = 79; 76.0%) followed by PSI (n = 14; 13.4%), and TMDI (n = 11; 10.6%). Surgical treatment was most commonly an arthroscopic soft tissue stabilization (n = 88; 84.6%), followed by an open soft tissue repair (n = 13; 12.5%) and open bony augmentation (n = 3; 2.9%) (Table 1). RTW occurred in 57.3% of wrestlers at a mean of 9.8 ± 9.6 months. Recurrent instability was the most common complication in 18 (17.3%) wrestlers. Revision SIS was performed in 15 (14.6%) wrestlers (Table 2). Across the entire cohort, Kaplan-Meier survivorship free from recurrent instability (Figure 1) and revision surgery (Figure 2) was 91.4% and 98.1% at 1 year, 90.4% and 92.5% at 2 years, 71.9% and 70.7% at 5 years, and 71.9% and 66.5% at 10 years, respectively. Pre-operative recurrent instability was an independent risk factor for post-operative recurrent instability (Hazard ratio [HR], 3.8; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.33 – 11.03; P = .012).
Conclusions:
Anterior shoulder instability was the most common direction among competitive wrestlers presenting for SIS. Wrestlers with multiple dislocations prior to initial clinical presentation were 3.8 times more likely to experience post-operative recurrent instability.

Incidence and location of injuries in Olympic style wrestlers: An analysis by age, sex, weight-class and wrestling style
Objectives:
This study aimed to examine injuries among Olympic-style wrestlers by analyzing the injury incidence rate and its relationship with age, sex, weight-class and wrestling style.
Methods:
Olympic-style wrestlers aged 17 years or above competing at national level in Sweden were recruited. Retrospective data about wrestling injuries incurred during year 2019 and 2020 were collected through a web-based questionnaire.
Results:
A total of 39 wrestlers in Sweden were included, whereof 12 women and 27 men. Sixty-nine percent of the participants sustained at least one injury and the overall injury incidence rate was 4.74 injuries/1000 hours of wrestling training and 551 injuries/1000 licensed athlete years. There were no significant differences in injury incidence rates between wrestling styles, weight-classes, age-categories or sexes, unlike other previous studies. The knee, lumbar spine, neck and shoulder were the most commonly reported injury locations.
Conclusion:
The injury incidence rate could be region-specific due to different coaching or wrestling styles. It is recommended to provide strength and conditioning training focusing on the muscles around the knees, lumbar spine, neck and shoulders among this group of Olympic-style wrestlers.
