STATISTICA & WEIGHTLIFTING

I have always been in favor of incorporating the Sciences of Physical Activity and Sport into the practice of Weightlifting.

The importance of Medicine, Physiotherapy, Biomechanics, Physiology, Nutrition, Psychology, Didactics and Statistics, among other Sciences ... is increasing to know, evaluate, program and adequately control any athlete who wishes to obtain high sports performance.

I especially find it very interesting to apply them in the Master Weightlifting, since it can also provide, help to understand the differences that exist between older adults, who practice sports or not, and specifically those who practice Weightlifting, what privileges in terms of health, we can obtain with their continued practice for decades.

He recently contacted me, Juan Carlos Robledo, Bachelor of Biological Sciences who also studied Doctorate in Experimental Statistics, and is also president of the Hallomai Weightlifting Club in Talevera de la Reina (Toledo).

Juan Carlos has done a spectacular job, studying the influence of Age and Body Weight, on the performance in Kilos lifted in Snatch, by the athletes of the IWF Rank List (top 30 classified by weight categories in Senior men's category) with 299 data collected. And on the other hand, with the 372 data obtained from the 2019 Master Weightlifting World Championship in Montreal.

It is a very elaborate work, but at the same time very well exposed and summarized, which shows that we have a lot to study, research and develop, in any of the fields that Science can offer us.

You can see this work and access other very interesting ones, at the following link:

Thank you very much Juan Carlos ... we are looking forward to seeing more works that link Weightlifting with Statistics so directly and usefully.
