“…In some events in powerlifting (e.g., deadlift), high levels of grip strength are needed to complete the lift (30). Besides these sports, isometric handgrip strength is also relevant in baseball, golf, hockey, tennis, and weightlifting (7,(31)(32)(33)(34)(35). Thus, as caffeine increases isometric handgrip strength, it may also improve performance in some sports-specific outcomes.…”

“…Cardiorespiratory fitness provides information about the overall capacity of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and an athlete's ability to perform long-term exercises (Lee et al, 2019;Leger et al, 1988;Ruiz et al, 2008). The handgrip strength and standing broad jump tests have been used in scientific studies for more than 50 years as valid and reliable methods for measuring musculoskeletal fitness (Everett & Sills, 1952;Ince & Ulupinar, 2020;Kane & Meredith, 1952;Wind et al, 2010). These tests have also been used to determine isometric strength, or muscle strength, in many different sections of the population (including amateur-professional, male-female, children, youth and adults) to identify their strength-power profile (Fukuda et al, 2013;Özbay & Ulupınar, 2020;Peterson, Alvar, & Rhea, 2006;Wind et al, 2010).…”

Valid and reliable measurement methods are the basic requirements that enable the measurement and evaluation process to reach education's basic goals. Usually, using laboratory-based tools and methods for measuring the physical fitness of students is not possible within school settings. Therefore, field-based tests provide crucial solutions to physical education teachers to measure both the physical fitness of school-aged students and the athletic competence of a school's athletes. This study aims to identify the differences in physical-fitness levels between student athletes and non-athletes and determine the effectiveness of the Assessing Levels of Physical Activity (ALPHA) test battery in discrimination between these groups. Sixty-eight healthy male students (34 athletes and 34 non-athletes) participated in this study. As a major indicator of physical fitness in student athletes and non-athletes, the body mass index for assigned study groups was controlled. After a familiarization training, participants completed three test sessions in 48-hour intervals. The 20-m progressive shuttle run test for cardiorespiratory fitness, handgrip strength test and standing broad jump test for musculoskeletal fitness, and the 4 × 10-m shuttle run test for motor fitness were used to measure the fitness levels of the groups. A t-test was used to determine the differences between athletes and non-athletes, and effect sizes were calculated to assess practical importance. Additionally, a discriminant function analysis was used to determine whether the ALPHA test battery could differentiate between athletes and non-athletes. The findings indicated that student athletes presented with significantly greater levels of fitness than non-athletes. Additionally, when the effect of body mass index was eliminated, student athletes and non-athletes were classified correctly at a rate of 70.6% using these tests. Therefore, this study shows that physical education teachers can use the ALPHA test battery to monitor athletic performance and identify talented students.

“…eir results showed that weight loss, low bone mineral density, and low regional density would reduce the risk of osteoporosis. However, the work of [17] divided men's and women's weightlifters into three levels: middleweight, heavyweight, and lightweight. After statistical optimization of weightlifters' physical fitness indicators further screened and analyzed and established weightlifters' physical fitness model.…”

As China has repeatedly achieved excellent results in world-class sports events, the country attaches great importance to sports training, among which weightlifting is an advantageous sports event in China. Physical fitness is also the main sports ability to evaluate the function of weightlifters, which has a direct impact on their competitive ability in sports competition. However, there are some problems in evaluating the physical fitness of weightlifters, such as unclear indicators and unclear weight. Therefore, this paper establishes the physical fitness evaluation system of weightlifters based on the analytic hierarchy process and evaluates the physical fitness of weightlifters from three aspects: body shape, body function, and sports quality. In addition, it briefly introduces the calculation process of the analytic hierarchy process, analyzes the constituent factors of weightlifters’ physical fitness, defines the indexes of weightlifters’ physical fitness evaluation system, and calculates the weight of each index. This study performed many experiments by selecting 10 weightlifters to substitute the relevant data into the evaluation index system and analyzed the body shape of weightlifters. In addition, the results showed that the highest blood testosterone was 926.7 ud/dl, with a score of 95 points, and the lowest was 690.3 ud/dl, with a score of 65 points. The results also show that the highest high snatch with score 95 is 123 kg and the lowest high snatch with score 60 is 98 kg. According to the above research results, the overall physical fitness of Chinese weightlifters is high.
