Abstract:Wrestling in Rajasthan continues to thrive as both a sport and a tradition, largely due to the sustained use of traditional training methods passed down through generations. This research explores the role that these methods play in the development of wrestlers in Rajasthan. Focusing on aspects such as endurance training, diet, and technical skills, the study investigates how traditional practices compare with modern sports science techniques. Using qualitative and quantitative research methods, the paper assesses the long-term effectiveness of these methods and their impact on performance. The results suggest that while traditional training provides a solid foundation for physical conditioning and mental discipline, the integration of modern techniques can enhance performance and reduce injury risk. Future research should investigate the blending of traditional and modern methods to optimize wrestler development in Rajasthan.
