Abstract

The purpose of the study was to compare the selected isometric variables between weightlifters and powerlifters. Twenty (N= 20) male lifters were selected. They were further divided into two groups N1 = 10 weightlifters and N2 = 10 powerlifters. The purposive sampling technique was used to attain the objective of the study. Independent‘t’ test was employed to compare the mean differences of the variables. To test the hypothesis, the level of significance was set at 0.05. It is concluded that significance difference was found between the weightlifters and powerlifters on isometric knee flexion and knee extension.
