摘要：This study examined some basic motoric features of elite Turkish kickboxers according to their weight categories (light, middle and heavy-weight) and sporting success. The study included 37 kickboxers in the camping period prior to the European Kickboxing Championship, and the participants were divided into three categories: Group A=Light-weight (60 kg and less, n=8); Group B=Middle-weight (between 61 and 74 kg, n=16); and Group C=Heavy-weight (75 kg and more, n=13). Participants were also divided into two groups: medalists (n=14; 22.07±3.17 years, 175.35±8.30cm, 68.92±15.77kg) and non-medalists athletes (n=23; 23.04±4.80 years, 179.96±7.09cm, 75.01±14.78kg). The participants completed a 20-meter sprint and tests of flexibility, handgrip strength, back and leg strength, balance and reaction. In conclusion, a significant difference was observed only in the parameters of absolute and relative strength between the weight categories, whereas no significant difference was found in the parameters of reaction, flexibility, balance and sprint. In addition, the basic motoric features of medalist athletes, which were different from others, were found to be relative strengths relative right hand grip strength (0.71±0.11, 0.63±0.08 kg), relative left hand grip strength (0.71±0.11, 0.63±0.08 kg), relative leg strength (1.86±0.39, 1.60±0.26 kg), relative back strength (1.98±0.52, 1.62±0.32 kg) and speed (2.82±0.26, 3.18±0.47 sec) p<0.05. Key words: Elite kick boxers, weight categories, motoric parameters.
