Certifying wrestlers' minimum weight: a new requirement.

W O Roberts1.   

Abstract

High school and college wrestlers often attempt to "cut weight" before a tournament in an effort to wrestle in the lightest possible weight class and thereby gain an edge on opponents. Some wrestlers use unhealthy weight-loss practices, and last fall three college wrestlers died after extreme weight cutting.
