Abstract

In this study, the researcher examined the selected physiological and anthropometric dimensions of twenty-four male power lifters participated and won positions at all India interuniversity power lifters championship. The data for the study were assessed on physiological and 6 anthropometric dimensions. To identify the present physiological and anthropometric state among the selected power lifters the data was collected right after their category competition ends. It was found that the anthropometric characteristics were more pronounced in heavyweights (above 90 kg) categories, who were found to be heavier, taller, more fat percentage, and had high blood pressure, and resting heart rate when compared to the lower category.
