The two aims of this study were: (i) to analyse the correlations between weekly acute workload (wAW), chronic workload, acute/chronic workload rate (wACWR), training monotony and strain and the weekly (w) reports of delayed onset muscle soreness, wFatigue, wStress, wSleep quality, and the Hooper indicator (wHI); (ii) to analyse the relationships between early, mid and end preparation season (PS) and the full PS. Ten elite young wrestlers participated in this study. The subjects who were included in this research were wrestlers participating in competitions organized by the National Turkish Wrestling Federation. The subjects were monitored for 32 weeks and were divided into three time periods: early PS, W1 to W11; mid PS, W12 to W22; and end PS, W23 to W32. Very large correlations were found for wAW and wACWR with wFatigue and wHI during end PS. Also, the same workload parameters were significantly correlated with wStress (r = 0.66; P = 0.03), wSleep (r = 0.78; P = 0.004), and wHI (r = 0.72; P = 0.01) during mid PS. The results of this study offer new perspectives for specialists regarding the perceived level of load and the variations of wellbeing during a PS at the level of elite young wrestlers.
