Objective of the study was to analyze the key diets, daily timings and energy-control training elements in the professional and amateur weightlifting sports
Methods and structure of the study. The study was run at the N.I. Volkov Sports Biochemistry and Bioenergetics Department. We sampled, on written consents, the highly-skilled health weightlifting professionals and amateurs (n-27) and split them up into a professional Experimental Group (n-15) and amateur Reference Group (n=12). The sample was tested to obtain anthropometric characterisitcs including body mass and length, shoulder/ forearm/ thigh/ shin sizes/ diameters; and skin folds. The sample was surveyed to rate the actual physical activity, diets and energy-control elements in trainings. Individual energy costs were rated using the physical activity ratios and physical training intensity per body mass. Individual calorific daily demands in the Experimental Group were rated using S.A. Polievsky’s recommendations in the "Fundamentals of individual and team diets in sports".
Results and conclusion. The study found the energy metabolism in the Experimental Group peaking on training days dominated by anaerobic workouts in the AM hours; and anaerobic-alactate, lactate-anaerobic and aerobic workouts in the PM hours. Our analysis of the Experimental Group diets found violations of the key dieting recommendations, particularly in the proportions of the main nutrients.

Keywords: weightlifter, energy-control training, anaerobic/ aerobic training elements, training activity, diet.
