Abstract

Aim. The aim of our research was to assess general physical fitness indicators in students practicing powerlifting. Materials and Methods. The study engaged 20 male powerlifters, aged 18–22, with different levels of sport skills. The control group included 20 male students practicing street workout – a new popular physical activity where most exercises are performed using purely body weight (calisthenics). The study involved measurement of general physical fitness indicators with the help of tests determining agility, maximum hand strength, speed-strength qualities of the legs, static strength, speed-strength and general endurance. Total body parameters and body fat percentage were assessed by the means of Tanita diagnostic system. Results. Statistical processing of data revealed that improvement of sport skills in the powerlifters was accompanied by significant (p &< 0.05) increase of speed-strength indicators of the lower limbs (Abalakov test), speed-strength endurance of hip muscles (squats) and of the upper shoulder girdle muscles (push-ups), static and strength indicators of the upper shoulder girdle muscles (holding the barbell with straight arms). The analysis of the body composition data showed that the experimental group had higher values of body fat percentage indicators than the control group. It was also revealed that the powerlifters had a low level of physical fitness; namely, their average body mass index was 25.235 ± 0.67 (kg/m2), which indicated the excessive body weight (pre-obesity). Conclusion. Thus, correlation analysis of physical fitness indicators and body fat percentage reveals several moderate and significant linear correlations, but no high correlations.
