Abstract
Research Aim: Injection of vaccine can affect performance, and athletes are no exception. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the acute effect of Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccine on the performance of wrestlers after vaccination.
Research method: The statistical population of this research was made up of wrestlers who had at least 4 years of wrestling experience. Among them, 24 people were selected as samples and randomly divided into two groups. Three days before and after the vaccination, subjects in the forms of control group (placebo) and vaccine group (Sinopharm) performed Cleveland State University's wrestling performance test, anaerobic capacity and fatigue index (RAST), leg muscle strength, and oxygen saturation before and after the Cleveland State University's wrestling performance test. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to test the normality of the data and the independent T test was used to check the significant difference between the two groups' performance.
Findings: The results showed that there were significant differences between total time of the Cleveland State University's wrestling performance test, arterial oxygen saturation, relative peak power, and mean relative power before and after the intervention between two control and vaccine groups, but there were no significant differences between two control and vaccine groups in fatigue index and muscle strength before and after the intervention.
Conclusion: The injection of Sinopharm vaccine, three days after vaccination, weakens the performance of wrestlers and reduces the percentage of arterial oxygen saturation, peak relative power and average relative power, but does not affect the fatigue index and relative muscle strength of wrestlers.
