This study looks at three common ways athletes recover after a wrestling match: foam rolling, static stretching, and resting. We want to learn which method helps the body recover better in the short time that athletes often have between matches. Sixteen national-level wrestlers will take part in the study. Each participant will complete all three recovery methods on different days. Before and after each match and recovery session, researchers will measure heart activity, blood pressure, and jump performance. Heart activity is measured through heart rate variability, which shows how well the body's nervous system responds to stress. The purpose of this study is to find out which recovery method helps the body return to normal faster. The results may help athletes and coaches choose the best recovery strategy during competitions.

RMSSD (root mean square of successive differences) - heart rate variability
Timeframe: Pre-match (baseline), immediately post-match, immediately post-recovery, and 10 minutes post-recovery
Mean RR and SDNN - heart rate variability
Timeframe: Pre-match (baseline), immediately post-match, immediately post-recovery, and 10 minutes post-recovery
