Globalization of sports has rapidly advanced, leading to various challenges for
conditioning during competitions and camps in other countries. This study conducted a survey
to collect basic data about the conditioning of student wrestlers in Japanese and international
camps. The subjects were 18 student wrestlers who were scheduled to compete in the All-
Japan Student Championship Tournament and participated in both international and Japanese
training camps at the Korea National Sport University (Seoul Special City, Republic of Korea,
March 2014) and Agatsuma-gun, Gunma prefecture. We conducted a questionnaire-based
survey at Japanese and international (Korea) camps. The results showed that body weight was
significantly reduced during the last half of the Japanese camp, compared to that in the Korean
camp. The dietary survey also showed that much spicy food was served during the camp in
Korea, resulting in abnormal bowel movements. The results of our survey showed that it is
important to provide prior education about dietary management and the use of supplements
during international training camp
