Theoretical Study of the Determinants of Weightlifting Success in a Postmodern Approach

Abstract

Determinants of athletic success can positively or negatively influence the final performance of an athlete. In weightlifting, these determinants have been broadly categorized into internal (for example; motivation, self-efficacy, psychological resilience level etc.) and external (for example: cultural and social factors, family etc.) components, each representing distinct but interconnected aspects of athletic development. The concept emphasizes the interconnected nature of these factors, emphasizing that success in weightlifting cannot be attributed to a single variable, but rather to the complex interaction of multiple elements operating in a coherent system. Recent literature has explored these interactions in greater depth, revealing that the dynamic integration of these determinants is essential for sustained progress and peak performance in elite-level weightlifting. The importance of these external and internal factors should be taken into account. In this direction, strategies should be implemented to provide a suitable environment for the development of the weightlifting branch. Therefore, by making weightlifting more equitable and accessible, the chance to discover potential talents on a global scale can be increased.
