This new title in the <EM>Science behind Sports</EM> series provides an in-depth look at the scientific principles behind collegiate and scholastic wrestling (not "professional wrestling"). A brief history of the sport is offered followed by chapters that cover the scientific concepts behind training and conditioning, the application of force and leverage in various wrestling moves, how stability and balance factor into moves, and the psychological aspects of the game. Includes graphics to help explain the scientific principles being discussed and a list of sources for further research.
