The aim of this study was to determine the differences in performance, cardiac, and metabolic variables of combat-specific fitness of wrestlers from varying sports levels. The sample consisted of 61 active and highly trained adult wrestlers of national and international levels from Serbia, from both Greco-Roman and freestyle forms of wrestling, allocated into three groups: national team wrestlers (N= 15), first league competitive wrestlers (N= 20), and second league competitive wrestlers (N= 26). Participants performed two tests: a Specific Wrestling Fitness Test (SWFT) and a Specific Wrestling Performance Test (SWPT). Between-group differences were determined using multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA). Significant differences were obtained between wrestlers of different sports levels in TnThrows (F= 77.491, p< 0.001), SJFIndex (F= 49.710, p< 0.001), and SWPIndex (F= 31.205, p< 0.001) in the SWFT and in TnThrows (F= 71.051, p< 0.001), SJFIndex F= 45.343, p< 0.001), and SWPIndex (F= 26.820, p< 0.001) in the SWPT. Based on the results, it could be concluded that the SWFT and the SWPT provide very good sensitivity in the evaluation of the wrestlers specific fitness of wrestlers.
