Research Summary

 

Introduction and problem of study:

          The operation of selection in the sport field become under take to criterions and precise measures to ensure good criterion , The opinions are multiplicity and different about how selection and criterion_s and prediction about results can be achieved , proper age and physical requirement that must existence to reach the player highest levels and the big role that carrying out anthropometric measures, physical and skill testes that must real on in the operation choose and stages that must path to reach  purposed level , weightlifting supposed one of the competitive sports which have a big place in Olympic games because of what it require from physical-skill abilities , develop countries interested in developing physical abilities throw related exercises which like the competitive activity.

 

 

Selection can identify in sport field as a process to select best players on period_s independent on athletic preparing.

 

Weightlifting dependent on some physical abilities which have a big role in rising performance and prepare weightlifter to do his physical necessary duty well , physical fitness can identify as _ the weightlifter  training and psychological statue identify from develop ( strength , speed and endurance ) beside psychological factors_  

 

Reaching high level in sports determined by several factors must met , some of this factors have a direct effect in youth performance and some others have indirect effect proper nutrition enough sleep proper use of leisure time, and avoid drug abuse, alcohol, smoking, and regular sex life, and environmental conditions and psychological And social life of sound, in terms of housing health and family stability, and good choice of friends, the future clearly at work and satisfaction with him and the availability of experiences of success and relationships balanced effort, work, study and effort training, all these factors have an impact on the possibility of achieving the emerging sports of the results is high.  

 

Should also be the availability of training programs established on scientific grounds, as well as places of appropriate training, equipment, sports equipment, appropriate, and provides a relationship of mutual trust between the emerging and the coach, family and coach, activity, perseverance and effort, all of which are key factors for the development potential of the emerging and bringing it to the highest level that can be achieved in sports activity Specialist.

 

By observing the researcher to select / selection of lifters both for the team or club is to scan through a reference for the scientific references in Arabic and foreign researcher noted the lack of battery tests of physical skill or lifters are selected accordingly.

 

It also recommended a study conducted by researcher Mohammad Mustafa Mohamed Dessouky, 2006 entitled _ The Sharing Of Record Level Of Muscle Strength Product Of Weightlifters Motor Performance Stage In Snatch, Clean And Jerk Lifts _ the importance of muscle strength and also the need to evaluate and guide the level of achievement and alter the course of a composite physical attributes according to the relative weight in the level of achievement He then referred to the possibility of the use of tests designed in this study in the ways and methods of selection of lifters in the component of muscle strength (43), and noted researcher Mahmoud Hamid Mohamed Metwally, 2007 within the recommendations of the study entitled _ A Norms Standards For Some special physical abilities for selecting burgeons in weightlifting sport_ to the need for similar studies by researchers to develop benchmark levels at all stages of other Sunni and in all directions (physical - skill) and to this aim the researcher to find a battery tests more specialized contain tests take the form and nature of performance skill in weightlifting for the selection of lifters practitioners and then they can be used later to determine the standard levels for practitioners in different degrees and through the exercise of these points, the importance of physical and skill on both sides and the extent of their influence on the level weightlifter and then the need for a battery tests include both physical and skill building is the selection of lifters

 

The research aim

 

The research aims to set a battery physical - skill tests for selecting high levels weightlifters through:

  • Set a battery tests to measure the physical components of high levels wightlifters
  • Set a battery tests to measure the skill of  weightlifters.

 

the research question are :

Researcher is trying through this research to answer the following questions:

  • What are the most appropriate tests to measure the physical components of weightlifters?
  • What are the most appropriate tests to measure the skill of weightlifters?

 

the research procedure :

1 – research method :

the research using descriptive method because this is way suit the nature of the research

 

2 – research sample :

research sample chosen by purpose method from junior’s teams in the age group under 20 years old and enrolled in the records of the Egyptian Federation of Weightlifting for the season 2010/2011 , Which included a number of emerging weight lifting who participated in the championships of the Republic under a 16-year, which was held in Damietta on 10/2011 meters or under 20 years old, which was held in Sharkia governorate on 12/2011 m, and sample size was 99 for players

Determine the tests used at the poll of experts:

  • § Correlation ( Pearson)
  • § Factor Analysis
 
 
 
 

 

-         Important results :

Through the sample, research measurements , testes and aims, through the results that researcher take from statistical analysis ,the researcher concluded that :

 

  • Through factor analysis using orthogonal rotation of axes is detected eleven factor tests to prepare them saturated mixed
  • The acceptance number seven factors fulfilled all the conditions and criteria above mentioned were called based on objective physical tests as follows

 

Total muscular strength

:

First factor the

  4. Squat Thrust (10 s)
  5. Squat test (final mode in clean).
  6. Front full squats
  7. Power snatch

recommendations :

 

Through results the researcher recommend the follow :

  1. using the battery tests when  selecting  weightlifters practitioners to join the clubs and the various bodies
  2. Use the battery test to identify the level of first-class weightlifters.
  3. The use of the results of this study in the selection of new young in the sport of weightlifting in the light of new scientific standards
  4. Conducting research on the determinants of the various psychological and physiological responses to annexation of the results of this research to develop a strategy for the full selection.
  5. Work to generalize the results obtained in this research on the Egyptian clubs, and by the Egyptian Federation for the purpose of weight lifting take advantage of them when the selection of beginners.
  6. Develop standard levels for different levels and ages derived using a battery of research.
