Where this comes from

Abstract

In response to a new state rule, the Wisconsin Minimum Weight Project was formed to curtail "weight cutting" among high school wrestlers. The project uses skinfold testing to determine a minimum competitive weight and nutrition education to help the wrestler diet safely. It serves as a model for other states and other sports.
