Tag: Cutting weight safely

According to a study published in the journal *Frontiers in Nutrition*, over 60-90% of wrestlers practice rapid weight loss methods, which are known to be detrimental to performance and health. The best approach for a wrestler focuses on strategic, healthy nutrition, not rapid, unsafe cuts.

According to sports nutrition experts, high school athletes generally need more protein than their less active peers. A 106-pound wrestler requires a specific protein intake to fuel performance, build muscle, and aid recovery, especially when managing their weight class.
