Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationships of body composition and anthropometric variables with the performance of young Iranian elite weightlifters. Forty-two subjects (age 16.21±3.22 years) volunteered to participate in the study. All subjects competed at the Iranian National Championship. Body composition and anthropometric variables including lean body mass (LBM), body mass index (BMI), percentage body fat (%BF), height, shoulder circumference, chest circumference, waist to hip ratio (WHR), as well as the performance of the weightlifters (snatch; clean & jerk; front squat; back squat), were measured. The results showed a strong correlation between LBM and the performance of the weightlifters ( p ≤0.001). Moderate correlations between the remaining body composition variables and the performance of the weightlifters were obtained. However, low negative correlations were found between the performance of the weightlifters and the %BF and WHR values. It can be concluded that there was a relationship between LBM and weightlifting performance. However, weak negative relationships existed among %BF and WHR with the performance of weightlifters. Therefore, LBM was the major determinant in weightlifting, while %BF played a very small role in the determination of weightlifting performance. Key words: Weightlifting performance; Body composition; Elite weightlifters.

瘦体重作为年轻伊朗精英举重运动员表现的预测指标

本研究的目的是评估身体组成和人体测量变量与年轻伊朗优秀举重运动员的表现之间的关系。42名受试者(年龄16.21±3.22岁)自愿参加研究。所有科目都参加了伊朗全国锦标赛。身体组成和人体测量变量包括瘦体重(LBM)，体重指数(BMI)，体脂百分比(%BF)，身高，肩围，胸围，腰臀比(WHR)，以及举重运动员的表现(抓举;挺举;前面蹲;后蹲)，测量。结果显示，LBM与举重运动员的成绩有很强的相关性(p≤0.001)。其余身体成分变量与举重运动员的表现之间存在适度的相关性。然而，举重运动员的成绩与%BF和WHR值之间呈低负相关。由此可见，LBM与举重成绩之间存在一定的关系。而脂肪比和腰粗比与举重运动员的成绩呈弱负相关。因此，体重是举重成绩的主要决定因素，而%BF对举重成绩的影响很小。关键词:举重成绩;身体成分;精英举重运动员。
