Of weightlifters (9 Korean, 5 Chinese, 5 Iranian and 10 Japanese who participated in the Junior Asia Weightlifting Championships, and 9 Japanese student weightlifters), 25 somatic measurements and 20 indices were taken according to R. Martin's method, in order to study the basic statistics of weightlifters and the somatometrical difference between foreign and Japanese weightlifters. All the subjects were younger than 20 years of age. 1) The correlation between vertical (iliospinal height, upper limb length) sizes and stature was very high, but that between non-vertical (breadth, depth, and girth) sizes and stature was low. Girth measurements had a relatively high correlation with body weight. 2) In light and middle weight classes, foreign lifters were larger than Japanese lifters in both upper arm girth and waist girth, but in the heavy weight class foreign lifters were relatively larger than Japanese lifters only in waist girth. Some first class foreign lifters were significantly larger than Japanese lifters in both neck girth and upper arm girth. 3) The correlation between somatic measurements and lifting records was higher in foreign lifters than in Japanese lifters. Especially, the correlation between some girth (upper arm, forearm, and chest) sizes and lifting records was very high in foreign lifters.
