STUDY ON ESSENTIAL PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SUCCESSFUL WEIGHTLIFTING ATHLETES

Abstract

The profile of the successful athlete depends not only on the absolute strength of the athlete, but also on
the efficiency with which this strength can be applied through a favorable body structure. Essential
physical characteristics, such as segmental proportions, body composition and joint mobility, determine
the basic biomechanical conditions for producing strength and stability under the weightlifting.
Focusing on body proportions, grip strength, and explosive power, the survey ensures alignment with
both theoretical and practical dimensions of talent identification, providing useful insights into the role
of physical traits in shaping long-term athletic success
