Major Ursula Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) This is a million dollar question to me. If the answer is yes I may be a millionaire. If the answer is no I'm still a thousandnaire. For instance let's say I started the season at 119.2. My body fat percentage said I'm allowed to get as low as 115.6 however when I had my physical the doctor wrote a note that stated I could wrestle 113. Not by cutting weight but by using a proper a nutrition program can I recertify? Edited February 12, 2015 by CommWayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norm Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) You can challenge the results and get your own independent body fat analysis...The IHSAA accepts several alternative tests. Edited February 13, 2015 by norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frigginhurts Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 if the doctor signs off at 113 why would you need to recertify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 if the doctor signs off at 113 why would you need to recertify? The doctor "signing off" is worthless. If you are under 7% body fat the doctor needs to sign a form saying the athlete is healthy and is naturally lean. It comes down to the body fat test plain and simple. If the body fat test says they can go 113lbs, then the wrestler can go that weight. The only addition to that is if the wrestler starts with over 7% body fat AND a parent note is signed that states the wrestler can lose an extra 2% of their body weight. In this case the athlete missed being able to wrestle 113lbs by about .3lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
