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/m <sup>2 </sup>) 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/m <sup>2 </sup>)
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. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={İrfan YILDIRIM}
