Özet:

 Children born in the first months of the same year are physically more advantageous than those born in the last months, and this advantage decreases as the athletes gets older. Athletes born in the last months of the year and unsuccessful may leave their careers at a young age. The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between tournament success and birth months in 11-year-old Freestyle and Greco-Roman style wrestlers. It was hypothesized that wrestlers born in the first months of the year would be more successful than those born in the last months. Tournament ranking and birth date information of 327 wrestlers who participated in the Turkey 11-Year-Old Male Freestyle and Greco-Roman Style Wrestling Tournament were used. In order to examine the relationship between athlete success and birth months, Chi-Square analysis was performed by grouping birth months into four quarters of the year. It was observed that the success rankings of both Freestyle and Greco-Roman style wrestlers decreased from the first quarter to the last quarter of the year Freestyle: χ2  42.749, df  3, p  .000; Greco-Roman style: χ2  25.627, df  3, p  .000. It is thought that birth months should be given importance when grouping at young ages, especially in sports branches such as wrestling, where physical contact is high.

 Aynı yılın ilk aylarında doğan çocuklar, son aylarda doğanlara göre fiziksel olarak daha avantajlıdır ve sporcuların yaşı büyüdükçe bu avantaj azalmaktadır. Yılın son aylarında doğan ve başarısız kabul edilen sporcular, kariyerlerini genç yaşta bırakabilmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı 11 yaş serbest stil ve grekoromen stil güreşçilerde turnuva başarısı ile doğum ayları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Yılın ilk aylarında doğan güreşçilerin son aylarda doğanlara göre daha başarılı olacağı varsayılmıştır. 11 Yaş Erkekler Serbest ve Grekoromen Güreş Türkiye Şampiyonasına katılan 327 güreşçinin müsabaka sıralaması ve doğum tarihi bilgileri kullanılmıştır. Sporcu başarısı ile doğum ayları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek için doğum ayları yılın dört çeyreğine gruplanarak Ki-Kare analizi yapılmıştır. Yılın ilk çeyreğinden son çeyreğine her iki stilde de güreşçilerin başarı sıralamasının düştüğü gözlemlenmiştir Serbest stil: χ2  42.749, df  3, p  .000; Greko-Romen stil: χ2  25.627, df  3, p  .000. Özellikle güreş gibi fiziksel temasın yüksek olduğu spor dallarında, küçük yaşlarda gruplama yapılırken sadece yıllara göre değil, doğum aylarını da dikkate alarak örneğin yılın ilk ve son 6 ayı gruplanması gerektiği düşünülmektedir.
