Introduction and Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare performance indicators between judokas and freestyle wrestlers using the Special Judo Fitness Test (SJFT). This test was selected due to its ability to assess muscular endurance and performance in combat sports. Methods: total number of 36 male athletes (25 wrestlers and 11 judokas), aged between 18 - 35 years, who were regularly participated in their practice sessions, recruited for the study and randomly assigned to 2 groups of : (1) Wrestle group (n=25) and (2) Judo group (n=11).  Anthropometric variables including height, weight, age, BMI, body fat percentage, as well as performance test of 15 second, first 30 seconds, and 30 seconds throwing count, and also immediate heart rate and heart rate after 1 minute plus the SJFT index were measured. Data were analyzed using independent t-test to compare the mean values between the two groups at a significant level of P<0.05. Results: The results showed significant differences between judokas and wrestlers in some of the measured indicators (P < 0.05). Wrestlers performed better in performance indicators such as 15-second interval (P = 0.004), the first 30-second interval (P = 0.002), and the second 30-second interval (P = 0.001) were significantly higher in the wrestling group compared to the judo group; furthermore, the overall performance index also showed a significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.001). No significant differences were found in BMI, body fat percentage, or heart rate (immediate and 1 minute post-test). Conclusion: The observed differences may be attributed to the distinct nature of training and physiological demands of each sport. These findings can help coaches develop more tailored training protocols for each group.
