The
aim of this study was to determine whether elite wrestlers in Turkey are
subjected to a talent test when they begin their wrestling. A total of 425
volunteer athletes who actively wrestling in sports clubs in 51 different
cities of Turkey participated in the research. A semi-structured interview was
used in this study which covered qualitative data collection techniques. The
semi-structured interview form was developed by researchers. It was determined
that no aptitude test was performed when 425 (75.52 %) of the 321 athletes wrestling
actively began to wrestle in Turkey. On the other hand the talent test was
evaluated to 104 (%24.48) wrestlers, 30 (28.84%) of them were evaluated in the
wrestling competition, 52 (50% ) were evaluated by physical structure and 22
(21.15%) were evaluated by looking at the technical capacities of the athletes
in the wrestling competition. As a result, it was understood that the majority
of wrestlers haven't performed a talent test and that the talent tests which
have been performed are inadequate. It is thought that the application of
physical, mental, physiological and genetic tests together during the selection
of talent in the wrestling sport is important in increasing the number of
promising talented athletes.
