Summary
This study looked at whether a six-week wrestling training program could improve psychological well-being, reduce anxiety, and build resilience in adolescent boys aged 12 to 15. Thirty boys with no prior wrestling experience were split into a wrestling group and a control group. Researchers measured changes in resilience, well-being, and sport anxiety before and after the program.
