Relationship of Limb Lengths and Body Composition to Lifting in Weightlifting
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021
Weightlifting is a discipline where technique and anthropometric characteristics are essential to achieve the best results in competitions. This study aims to analyse the relationships between body composition, limb length and barbell kinematics in the performance of weightlifters. It consists of an observational and descriptive study of 19 athletes (12 men [28.50 ± 6.37 years old; 84.58 ± 14.11 kg; 176.18 ± 6.85 cm] and 7 women [27.71 ± 6.34 years old; 64.41 ± 7.63 kg; 166.94 ± 4.11 cm]) who met the inclusion criteria. A level I anthropometrist took anthropometric measures according to the methodology of the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK), and the measurement of the barbell velocity was made with the software Kinovea. In terms of body composition, both genders are within the percentage range of fat mass recommended for this sport. In female weightlifters, there is a positive correlation between foot length, maximal velocity in the Snatch (ρ = 0...
The aim of this research are anthropometrical measurement of the forearm and upper arm of the respondents included in the research and their possible changes as result of training whose purpose is to transform the maximal muscle strength.Material and methods: A prospective study was realized on a group of 7 respondents, which included experimental program for transformation of the maximal strength of the elbow flexors and extensors. The training program was intended for transformation of the maximal muscle strength for the muscles flexors (exercise of Scots bench) and the muscles extensors (triceps push down). The experimental training was conducted in a period of six weeks, three times in week, within 1-3 repetitions, till failure. The following seven anthropometrical measurements were measured: forearm skin-fold and subcutaneous fat, upper arm skin-fold and subcutaneous fat, forearm circumference relaxed, upper arm circumference relaxed, forearm circumference contracted, upper arm circumference contracted, upper arm circumference in contacted extensor in height of m. triceps brachii. The respondents were tested at the beginning, after 3 weeks, and in the end of the sixth week of the experimental program.The following parameters were calculated using Friedman ANOVA.Results: After 3 weeks of exercise following the program, significant changes were observed in the measures of: upper arm skin-fold and subcutaneous fat-28, 9%, forearm circumference relaxed 4,3%, upper arm circumference relaxed 2,7%, forearm circumference contacted 5,6% and upper arm circumference contracted 7%. After the six weeks of exercising, the following changes of the measurements were noticed: upper arm skin-fold and subcutaneous fat-15,3%, forearm circumference relaxed 7,5%, upper arm circumference relaxed 5,1%, forearm circumference relaxed-2,5% and upper arm circumference contracted 2,5%. In the second half of the experimental program the following changes in the measurements were observed: upper arm skin-fold and subcutaneous fat of 19,2%, forearm circumference relaxed 3%, forearm circumference contracted-7,7%, upper arm circumference contracted-4,3%, and m. triceps brachii height circumference of the upper arm contracted-5,5%.Conclusion: The type of the workout that was given to the respondents was in high intensity. Regarding this kind of program, the following changes of the anthropometrical measurements are not corresponding with the previous research results (Ozmun еt al., 1994; Ramsay еt al., 1990 and Fleck&Kraemer, 1996). Lifting weight with maximal external load causes certain physiological processes, (CNS mechanisms are not crucial), so, the tissues respond with adaptation and changes of the anthropometric measurements. The turbulence of anthropometric measurements, during the 6 weeks of the experimental program, indicates the need of detail analysis for body composition of the body parts that are included in the exercising programs.
Relative strength, Body mass and height as Predictors of Olympic Weightlifting Players Performance
The research aims to know the relationship between relative strength, Body mass and height with Olympic weightlifting player's performance and the contribution percentage for the relative strength, Body mass and height in performance for weightlifting players during Olympic Games. Applied this research on weightlifting Olympic players results in Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008. The numbers of players (397) Olympic weightlifting players they calculation their results in Olympic Games and they represent (80.52%) from the original community, average age (25.80 ± 4.52) year, average Height (170.76 ± 9.71) cm, and average weight (85.19 ± 25.07) kg. The Results that provided statistical indicative relationship between the relative strength, Body mass and height with Olympic weightlifting players performance. Shifted so that contribution percentage for the relative strength (13.1%), contribution percentage for Body mass (38.6%), and the contribution for the height (43.6%) In Olympic Games weightlifting players performance. It can predict level number for weightlifting players with indication the relative strength, Body mass and height. The interesting for muscle strength development especially the maximum strength for weightlifting players by indicative relative strength indicate to achieve the correlated between it and between the Body mass and height.

Comparison of Anthropometric Characteristics Between Athletes and Non-athletes
The aim of our present study was to investigate the anthropometrical status of athletes and non-athletes. The anthropometric data included 3 types of measurements: basic, girths and breadths. The research was carried out on 20 handball players, 16 volleyball players and 21 healthy non-athlete subjects. The data obtained after applying the One-Way ANOVA indicates the existence of differences between the research groups (p<0.05), depending on weight, BMI, girths (arm span, chest, waist, hip), and breadths (biacromial, biliocristal, transverse chest), while no differences were recorded for height and anterior-posterior chest depth. Our research demonstrated the existence of differences between the non-athletes and athletes, as a result of the targeted selection of the athletes for each post or team.
