ALLOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF STRENGHT OF THE YOUTH AND SENIOR WEIGHT LIFTERS

Abstract

Weightlifting is defined as a sport of strength and power. For a good physiological profile in weightlifting, muscle strength, flexibility, muscle power, and lift combination of techniques is important. This study aimed to compare the allometric analysis of degrees of weightlifters in the total rating to obtain in the category of youth and seniors who participated in the world weightlifting championship. Data from the 86th Men’s European Senior Championships and 5th Men’s European Youth Championships were employed. Data was obtained from the official website of the European Weightlifting Federation (http://www.ewf.sm). There were 8 body-weight classes for senior men European championships (56, 62, 69, 77, 85, 94, 105, +105 kg) and 8 body-weight classes for youth men European championships (50, 56, 62, 69, 77, 85, 94, +105 kg). The sum of two weights lifted (snatch, clean, and jerk) were considered. At each European Championships, the best 5 degrees from each weight category were selected. There was significant age (40 youth weightlifters) and (40 senior weightlifters), mean age differences were found (p<0.05). Significant strength differences were also found between the senior weightlifter and the youth weightlifter for the sum of two weights lifted values related to body mass (p<0.05). Negative significant correlations were found between body mass and the relative sum of two weights lifted values for senior and youth weightlifters (p<0.05). As a result, it is thought that the relationship between body size measurements and the ratio per body mass in athletic performance cannot be accurately defined. For this reason, the allometric scaling method was used to remove the body mass effects.
