According to the results of MRI, it was found that in the group of «kurash» wrestlers, a significantly larger proportion of wrestlers with stages 0 and 1 and a significantly smaller proportion of athletes with stages 2 and 3 were revealed, which indicates that practicing national types of wrestling much less often leads to serious structural changes in the knees. menisci.
