The MET value of 6 for wrestling is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 accounts for Houston's average temperature of 65°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
Wrestling is one of the oldest and most physically demanding combat sports. It requires extraordinary full-body strength, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, and mental toughness. A wrestling match engages every major muscle group through grappling, takedowns, and ground control. Wrestlers develop exceptional relative strength, grip endurance, and body awareness. The intense conditioning required for wrestling makes it one of the highest calorie-burning sports during both training and competition.
