broader athletic performance in healthy adults. To identify if any relationship between the performance within
the training program and athletic performance exists when measured independently.
Methods: Twenty-six, apparently healthy adults: four males (age = 51.6 ± 4.0 years; height 178.8 ± 13cm and
body mass = 82.4kg ± 6.5kg) and twenty-twofemales (age = 38.3 ± 7.0 years; height 163.5 ± 6cm and body mass
= 58.6kg ± 4.5kg)participated in and completed the yearlong longitudinal cross-sectional study. All participants
had trained with BODYPUMP™ for ≥ 1 year; this was their solemethod of training which they attended on
average a minimum of twice a week.Isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) peak force (PF), 10m sprint time, counter
movement jump (CMJ) height and the total score of athleticism (TSA)were all assessed.
Results: Testing revealed that after 1-year total load (kg) relative to body weight (BW) has a strong correlation
with isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) peak force (PF) (r=0.767), 10m Sprint (r=0.712), counter movement jump
(CMJ) height (r=0.719) and the total score of athleticism (TSA) (r=0.721) as assessed by Pearson’s correlation
p <0.05.
Conclusions: This research demonstrates that BODYPUMP™ does have athletic carryover for some components
of fitness (strength, power and speed). This study has shown that thetotal score of athleticism (TSA) is strongly
correlated to lifting ability (r=0.721) within the training program.
