Abstract

The fingerprint dermatoglyphics of 75 top Russian female freestyle wrestlers of three conditional weight categories (light, medium and heavy) was studied with the use of hardware-software complex “Malachite”. The athletes’ age ranged from 20 to 33 years. It is established that for the whole sample (irrespective of weight categories) the typical phenotypes are LW and ALW. For the wrestlers of a light weight category in 48% of cases the occurrence of the pattern arch (A) was observed and in 32% – the pattern whorl (W). There are also athletes of this weight category with the phenotype of ALW. The prevailing patterns in athletes of a middle weight category are the loop (L – 62%), the whorl (W – 24%) and a complex pattern (S – 12%). They are relating primarily to the phenotype of LW. For athletes of a heavy weight category, the typical patterns are: the loop (L-74%), the whorl (W – 14.4%) and complex pattern (S – 7.8%). The main phenotype is LW. The obtained results may be used for the selection of the most prospective athletes in women’s freestyle wrestling.
