“…For example, gaining early psychological advantage may be of particular importance as previous research in college PL athletes showed a significant negative relationship between competition anxiety and competition total [ 18 ]. Additionally, emotional stress (anxiety and low mood) and fatigue are reported as the most influential competition factors among Russian powerlifters of both sexes [ 19 ]. Howells et al [ 12 ] showed that the increase in weight between SQ attempts of non-winners trended parallel to those of winners (i.e.…”

Background The ability for athletes to gain a competitive advantage over their opponents is well recognised. At times, this advantage may be considered a marginal gain. However, in the context of competition, marginal advantages may be the difference between winning and losing. This investigation explores how competition factors influence the odds of competitive success (i.e. winning) in powerlifting (PL) to assist athletes and coaches in achieving a competitive advantage. Methods A cross-sectional, retrospective analysis of competition data from raw/classic, Australian powerlifting competitions 2010–2019 was conducted. Data included 10,599 competition entries (males: n = 6567 [62%], females: n = 4032 [38%]). Independent t-tests were used to compare continuous data between sexes or winners and non-winners at an event. Cohen’s d and the 95% confidence interval (d [95% CI]) were calculated. Univariate odds of winning an event based on independent variables (age [irrespective of category], sex, body weight and weight of first lift attempt [regardless of success]), were assessed by separate simple logistic regression. Results When compared to males, the odds of winning for females were 50% greater (OR [95% CI] 1.500 [1.384, 1.625]; P < 0.001). Athletes who had larger first lift attempts (Squat: + 7.0 kg P < 0.001, Bench Press: + 3.2 kg P < 0.001, and Deadlift: + 6.1 kg P < 0.001and competed for a longer period (winners: 401 vs non-winners: 304 days, P < 0.001) had an increased likelihood winning. Age was associated with increased odds of success for males (OR [95% CI] 1.014 [1.009, 1.019], P < 0.001) per additional year of age for males, but not females (P = 0.509). Conclusions Multiple factors appear to contribute to the likelihood of winning a PL competition. These results may help coaches to develop competition and training strategies that optimise athletes’ likelihood of competitive success in PL.

“…The increase in the number of women involved in powerlifting puts forward certain conditions for the process of training athletes that would take into account their gender. Thus, a gender-based study of confounding factors in the powerlifters' sports activities did not reveal any fundamental differences in the allocation of significant confounding factors (Ljdokova et al, 2015), which is an important information for the coach to take into account for building the athletes' successful sporting activity. The study of the interaction in the 'coach-athlete' system is essential for the coach in his attempts to tackle the problems that arise in training.…”

“…), observance of safety precautions as the risk of women being injured is much higher than that of men; and the rules of conduct during training. In addition, Ljdokova et al (2015) believe that one of the coach's tasks (as a person and educator) is that the female athlete should retain the femininity, charm and other qualities inherent only in women.…”

The study presents an analysis of the coach's role in the powerlifters' sports activities. The issue has been studied from the point of view of the coach's real and desired actions in training male and female powerlifters. The questionnaire containing 13 coach's actions was used to survey 30 male and 30 female athletes. The study reveals that the most significant actions used by the coach when interacting with male athletes are "rendering assistance at competitions" (I rank), "possession of a unique method of training athletes" (II rank), "taking into account the athlete's individual characteristics" (III rank). The most significant actions used by the coach in relation to female athletes are: "taking into account the athlete's individual characteristics" (I rank), "assisting at the competitions" (II rank), "explaining the methodology for doing exercises" (III.5 Rank), "evaluation of the athlete's success / failure" (III.5 rank).When the athletes describe the coach's desired actions in relation to them, male athletes single out the following as significant: "possession of a unique method of training athletes" (I rank), "assisting at the competitions" (II rank), "being present in training classes" (rank III); whereas female athletes single out:"taking into account the athlete's individual characteristics" (I rank), "explaining the methodology for doing exercises" (II.5 rank) and "assisting at the competitions" (II.5 rank). The results of the study can be used by coaches in training powerlifting athletes with regard for their gender (sex) affiliation.

“…To identify the influence of stress factors, we modernized the questionnaire, which was presented by the authors (G. Ldokova, K. Volkova, O. Razzhivin) in their studies of powerlifters' stress factors earlier (2014-2016) [12][13][14]. The questionnaire contains 11 sources of stress, taking into account training and competitive activities.…”

Athletes are exposed to numerous stress factors, which can have a negative impact on their health, including psychological health. This is especially true for young athletes whose psyche is unstable. The article highlights the factors that prevent powerlifters’ successful training and performance in powerlifting competitions for the age groups of 14-23. By assigning a rank by the respondents (n = 128), the highest #1 and lowest #11 values were selected. Data analysis showed that the priority of 3 factors coincided in training and competitive activities: 1) injuries (average score – 1.64 and 1.82), 2) emotional excitement (4.64 and 3.9), 3) physical fatigue (5.09 and 5.18). The following positions during training sessions are: human factor (6.34), unexpected circumstances (6.45), audio interference (6.50), problems with equipment and outfit (6.55), difficult relationships (6.82), the rank and type of competition and preparation for them (6.9), coach/referee assessment (7.09), changing conditions (8.0). At the competitions, subsequent stress factors are distributed as follows: unexpected circumstances (5.64), coach/referee assessment (5.7), rank and type of competition and preparation for them (6.36), human factor (6.82), problems with equipment and outfit (7.0), changing conditions (7.18), audio interference (7.23), difficult relationships (8.64). Taking into account the young powerlifters’ sources of stress allows forming the athletes’ psychologically healthy attitude to and perception of external changes and circumstances, which largely contributes to the optimization of sports performance and life.
