3. 2015 16 Weight Control Manual Weight Control Program HSA Illinois High School Association INTRODUCTION The IHSA vvill implement its vveight control program that includes body fat testing again for the 2015 16 school year The program is designed to determine the minimum weight class a wrestler may participate in throughout the season The establishment of a minimum weight class is based on a body fat measurement of 7 for male wrestlers and 12 for female wrestlers The IHSA is concerned for the safety of the young people who participate in our wrestling program The establishment of minimum weight classes along with a maximum weight loss per week allows high school wrestlers to participate in a most healthy manner THE REGULATION The establishment of a minimum wrestling weight based on 7 body fat for males and 12 for females is required for all high school wrestlers The IHSA does not advocate that a wrestler s established minimum weight is the athlete s best weight but simply the minimum weight at which the athlete will be allowed to compete L Establishing Minimum Weights A Skinfold measurements will be utilized by all schools to determine each wrestler s body fat percentage Only measurements taken by IHSA Certified Skinfold Measurers will be accepted Schools may obtain a list of approved measurers on the IHSA website This list will be posted each September It is the responsibility of the school to contact a cer
