A total of 130 non-technical points (fleeing the mat, cautions, stepping outside, passivity/activity time, and challenges) were recorded in the GR, FS, and WW styles, with most of these points obtained from standing (74) and par terre (92) positions. The GR style had the highest rate of non-technical points, while WW had the lowest. Additionally, in WW, the majority of non-technical points were scored from the par terre position. These findings indicate that non-technical points vary depending on wrestling style and position (Table 2). The high number of such points in the Greco-Roman style may be explained by penalties for passivity. Increased physical load and fatigue can reduce athletes' endurance, making it easier for opponents to reach advantageous positions. While standing points are more prominent in the GR and FS styles, par terre position points are more common in WW. [PERSON] et al. [21] compared the performances of male and female wrestlers in their study on wrestling matches in the Olympic Games held in 2021. In the study, it was determined that 77.8% of the points in the GR and FS categories were obtained in the standing position and 22.2% in the par terre position. In the WW style, 68.1% of the points were scored in the standing position and 31.9% in the par terre position. Our findings are in parallel with the study of [PERSON] et al. (2023) [21] in the GR and FS categories. However, our data for the WW style differ from the results reported in that study. We think that the difference may be due to the prestige of the match level, athlete profile, athletes' strategies, and continental characteristics of WW. In the study by [PERSON] [22], the rates of technical success achieved in standing and par terre positions were compared by style; higher success was found in standing techniques for the GR and WW styles. Par terre success was relatively high across all the styles. In the study by [PERSON] et al. [23], it was reported that in the cadet category for the FS style, the majority of points were obtained through standing techniques. These findings suggest that point-scoring strategies may vary depending on age category and competition level. These findings reveal that standing fighting techniques are the determining factor in the score production of the match result in the cadet category compared to the senior category. When the distribution of scores by periods is examined, it is observed that more points are scored in the second period across all three wrestling styles. However, the study by [PERSON] and [PERSON] [20] found that attack attempts and successful actions were more frequent in the first period. This discrepancy may be attributed to recent rule changes penalizing passive wrestling and to athletes' strategic approaches. The increased number of points in the second period may be attributed to stricter penalties for passivity, athletes' strategic conservatism in the first period followed by more aggressive efforts in the second, and enhanced endurance resulting from modern training practices. In the study by [PERSON] and [PERSON], more attacks were observed in the first period, and this difference is considered to be associated with the level of the tournament and the strategic importance of the organization. The techniques used in wrestling matches vary according to the structure of each style. In GR, body lock and gut wrench were prominent, while in the FS and WW styles, single-leg attack was the most preferred standing technique. For par terre positions, leg lace was favored in FS and passing behind in WW. In the 2023 European Championship finals, some technique preferences differed [22]. These findings suggest that technical choices may vary depending on style characteristics, tournament level, and strategic approaches. In the technical analysis study for the FS style in the cadet category, the most common technique performed while standing was the single-leg attack, while the most common technique performed in the par terre position was gut wrench [23].
