This study aims to present, through a literature survey, the incidence of injuries in wrestling in order to characterize them in relation to their location (upper or lower limbs), type (fractures, dislocations, sprains, injuries tendinitis and muscle), increased susceptibility period (period of training or competition) and practice time mode. Thus, we conclude that the lesions occur in Olympic wrestling in the lower extremities, the anatomical regions of the knee, shoulder, thigh and ankle, primarily sprains, muscle injuries and bruises and that usually occur with more experienced athletes.
