Determining the level of development of weightlifters’ bodies in the early stage based on the ratio of anthropometric indicators is a crucial objective in modern sports training, as it aims to obtain the most accurate information about the athletes’ condition. This study aims to highlight the influence of exercise forms based on symmetric systems of exercise execution in determining the optimal body parameters based on the assessment of anthropometric indicators in the initial training stage. Therefore, new experimental planning forms were implemented to prepare weightlifters aged 10-12, as part of a practical program during a biannual training macrocycle. In order to assess the level of development of the young weightlifters’ bodies, tests were conducted using 4 modules of exercises with symmetric execution as the main physical activity. The applied experimental methodology led to determining the level of development of weightlifters’ bodies in the early training stage based on the assessment of anthropometric indicators. This was achieved by implementing symmetric exercise systems in practical training activities to establish this level of athlete preparation. Considering the increased physical development of the athletes involved in the examination process, as well as their general training level.
