Purpose: the aim of this study was to consider the number of prevalent traumas among the members of Iran’s national team ofyouth freestyle wrestling and their relation with anthropometric factors and physical fitness. Materials and Methods: this was a descriptive- correlational study. after measuring some of the anthropometric and physical fitness factors,[Body Mass Index(BMI),Waist-Hip-Ratio(WHR),Percent of Body Fat(PBF), flexibility, aerobic and anaerobic power and strength] through standard tests, and acquiring the prevalent injuries of the team members from the team's physician, and applying descriptive statistics (mean 16±1/1) and inferential statistics (Chi square), the relationship between the anthropometric measurements and physical fitness factorsand the level of injuries were assessed. Results: The results of this research showed that the muscular-tendinous injuries and articular-ligament injuries are the most frequent among the youth freestyle wrestling team There was a relationship between muscle injuries and the level of flexibility, between joint injuries and (PBF) and (BMI) and also between bone injuries and isometric strength.Therewas also a relationship between the skin traumas and (WHR) (P<0.05).
Discussion and Conclusion: sresults of this research revealed that there was a relationship between
flexibility and muscle injuries. Reduction in BMI and PBF would also lead to less joint injuries. Furthermore low level of WHR had significant influence on reducing skin trauma, it seems that by improving the physical flexibility, the rate of skeletal and muscular-tendinous injuries, and by decreasing the body mass index, and fatpercentage, the rate of articular-ligament injuries may decrease among the members of Iran’s national team of youth freestyle wrestling.

In this research, first we have studied the common injuries among the young wrestlers in youth freestyle wrestling team, and then determined the relationships between some anthropometric features and physical fitness factors on the one hand, and the rate of common sport injuries among the team on the other.
The results of this research showed that the muscular and joint injuries were most frequent among the youth freestyle wrestling team, which were in line with those of the Zakani (1996), Akbarnejad (1999), Jarret (1998), Richard (2010), and Stanev (2011), but were in contrary with Agel 's(2007), which might be due to difference in age and athletic levels of the statistical population."
