Purpose: The purpose of this research is to compare the effect of traditional resistance exercises and suspension-resistance exercises on serum levels of muscle damage indicators and motor performance of young wrestlers.Methods: Thirty young wrestlers were selected and randomly divided into 3 control groups, traditional-resistance exercises and suspension-resistance exercises. Serum levels of creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase were investigated by fasting blood sampling method. Muscular strength, speed, power and agility were also respectively evaluated by one repetition maximum in chest press movement, 15 yard speed test, Sargent's jump and T test. Then, each of the training groups performed their respective exercises for 12 weeks, 3 sessions per week and each training session lasted 30-45 minutes. At the end of 12 weeks of training, the post-test phase was conducted. Two-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni's post hoc test were used for statistical analysis of research findings.Results: The results of two-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni's post hoc test showed that in the post-test stage, both traditional-resistance and suspension-resistance exercises lead to a significant improvement in strength, speed, power and agility, as well as a significant decrease in serum levels of creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase (p≤0.05).Conclusion: According to the results of the present research, it seems that suspension-resistance exercises, due to its unique features, can be used as a new approach alongside with traditional-resistance exercises to improve the movement performance and also reduce the levels of muscle damage indicators of young wrestlers.
