Nowadays, sport requires maximum efforts, which is accompanied by an increase in the level of both acute and chronic injuries. Accordingly, many studies were conducted aimed at studying the factors affecting the injury rate, including investigations, showing the relationship between the core stability level and the injury rate. Different types of tests, measuring core stability, were created, attempting to predict the risk of injury and many training programs for different sports were developed, aimed to help to build the strong core. Wrestling is a sport highly demanding to core. Without improved core stability wrestlers are unable to show high performance and are predisposed to suffer from different acute and chronic traumas, so core stability in wrestling is of great interest in terms of injury prevention and results enhancement. The use of innovations, specially designed for this goal, such a Biodex Stability System SD, can significantly help in this.
