AB  - The aim of this study was to investigate the physical determinants of 
      weightlifting competition performance based on Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull (IMTP) 
      and Countermovement Jump (CMJ) force-time variables, in a cross-sectional and 
      longitudinal analysis. Ten British advanced international female weightlifters' 
      competition results and neuromuscular assessment data collected as part of the 
      British Weight Lifting World Class Programme were utilised for the purpose of 
      this study. All data were averaged for two consecutive 1-year periods. The 
      cross-sectional analysis utilised the second year of data, whereas the 
      longitudinal analysis assessed the mean change between the two years. The 
      cross-sectional analysis results reveal IMTP Net Isometric Peak Force (PF) and 
      CMJ Peak Power (PP) predict 94.2%, 95.1% and 91.8% of the variance in Total, 
      Snatch and Clean & Jerk competition performance, respectively (p = <0.5). The 
      longitudinal analysis results revealed that ∆IMTP PF was the only predicting 
      factor of longitudinal change in weightlifting competition performance predicting 
      41.5%, 41.7% and 42.5% of ∆Total, ∆Snatch and ∆Clean & Jerk, respectively (p 
      = <0.5). The assessments and equations may be utilised by coaches or sports 
      scientists to inform the prescription of training and help predict competition 
      performance.
