Abstract

The study aims to determine the relationship between some
anthropometric measurement values of lower extremity of athletes in olympic
style weightlifting and weightlifting performance. Male (n= 35, age:
18.43±1.07, height: 1.72±.07 m, body weight: 74.70±14.63 kg, body muscle index:
25.12±4.05 kg/m²) and female (n= 20, age: 21.20±3.49, height:
1.66±.08 m, body weight: 66.25± 15.12 kg, body muscle index: 23,98±3.96 kg/m²)
athletes in olympic style weightlifting participated in this study. Anthropometric
measurements of right-left thigh and lower leg length, right-left thigh and
calf girth of male and female athletes were obtained. One repetition maximum of
snatch and clean and jerk performances of the athletes was recorded. A symmetry
was observed between length and girth values of right-left lower extremity of
athlete groups. Right-left thigh length, thigh and calf girth of female
athletes were found be correlated both with snatch and with clean and jerk
performance. Right-left lower leg length of both male and female athletes was
not correlated with weightlifting performance. Consequently, it might be stated
that anthropometric measurement values of length and girth of lower extremity
of female athletes in olympic style weightlifting are correlated with their
snatch and clean and jerk performances.

Abstract

Bu çalışma, olimpik stil halter sporcularının alt
ekstremitelerine ait bazı antropometrik ölçüm değerleri ile halter
performansları arasındaki ilişkilerin belirlenmesini hedeflemiştir. Araştırmaya
erkek olimpik stil halter sporcuları (n= 35, yaş: 18.43±1.07, boy: 1.72±.07 m,
vücut ağırlığı: 74.70±14.63 kg, vücut kitle indeksi: 25.12±4.05 kg/m²)
ve kadın olimpik stil halter sporcuları (n= 20, yaş: 21.20±3.49, boy: 1.66±.08
m, vücut ağırlığı: 66.25± 15.12 kg, vücut kitle indeksi: 23,98±3.96 kg/m²)
katıldı. Erkek ve kadın sporcuların sağ-sol uyluk ve baldır uzunluk, sağ-sol
uyluk ve baldır çevrelerine ait antropometrik ölçümler gerçekleştirildi.
Sporcuların koparma ve silkme tekniklerinde tek tekrar maksimalleri tespit
edildi. Sporcu grupların sağ-sol alt ekstremitelerine ait uzunluk ve çevre
ölçüm değerleri arasında simetri gözlendi. Kadın sporcuların sağ-sol uyluk
uzunlukları, uyluk ve baldır çevreleri ile koparma ve silkme performansları
arasında bir korelasyon belirlendi. Hem erkek hem de kadın sporcuların ise
sağ-sol baldır uzunlukları ile halter performansları arasında korelasyon tespit
edilmedi. Sonuç olarak kadın sporcuların alt ekstremitelerine ait uzunluk ve
çevre ölçümü antropometrik değerlerinin koparma ve silkme performanslarıyla
ilişkili olduğu ifade edilebilir.
