This study examined some basic motoric features of elite Turkish kickboxers accordingto their weight categories (light, middle and heavy-weight) and sporting success. Thestudy included 37 kickboxers in the camping period prior to the European KickboxingChampionship, 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 dividedinto 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 wasobserved only in the parameters of absolute and relative strength between the weightcategories, whereas no significant difference was found in the parameters of reaction,flexibility, balance and sprint. In addition, the basic motoric features of medalistathletes, which were different from others, were found to be relative strengths relativeright 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), relativeback strength(1.98±0.52, 1.62±0.32 kg) and speed (2.82±0.26, 3.18±0.47 sec) p<0.05.
