Statistical analysis of the digital achievement performance of the deadlift according to body types (muscular, lean, obese)

Abstract

This research aims to identify the relationship between certain physical variables and performance in the shot put event. It focuses on the most important physical variables such as muscular strength, weight, height, and explosive power that affect performance. It also analyzes the contribution of body characteristics to achieving athletic performance. The study contributes to developing scientific methods for evaluating athletic performance and enhancing the educational process to increase effectiveness in shot put. The study was conducted on first-year female students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences for the academic year 2024–2025. The descriptive analytical method was adopted due to its suitability for the research problem and objectives, as it analyzes phenomena as they exist without researcher intervention, using precise statistical methods. This approach is suitable for analyzing relationships between variables and determining their relative contributions to performance. The study concluded that the mesomorphic body type is the most efficient in shot put performance. Statistically significant differences among the three body types emphasize the importance of body composition in performance. Weight alone is not a sufficient performance indicator unless paired with muscle-mass. The researchers recommend directing mesomorphic-type students toward sports requiring explosive power such as shot put, designing training programs tailored to somatotype, and using body composition evaluation as a tool in athletic selection.
