Purpose: Grip strength is one of the performance components that are affected by physical parameters such as age, weight, height and gender, among anthropometric variables. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of anthropometric properties on hand grip strength in elite wrestling and weightlifting athletes. Method: A total of n = 24 healthy athletes participated who 12 elite male wrestlers and 12 weightlifters Age, height, weight, BMI, VYY (%), sports age and hand grip strength (dominant and non-dominant) of the athletes participating in the study were taken. In statistical analyses of data, the comparison of the groups was made with the independent t test and evaluated with Spearman correlation analysis and examined at the significance level of p<0,05. Results: As a result of the statistical processes performed between the groups, it was found that there was a significant difference between age, height and sports age (p<0,05). It was determined that the% difference values of the groups with significant differences were age 20.65%, height 5.23% and sports age 52%. It was determined that there was no statistically significant difference between the groups with the measurement results of weight, BMI, VYY, dominant hand grip strength and nondominant hand grip strength. As a result of the Spearman correlation analysis, statistically, between weightlifting athletes' dominant hand grip strength and weight (r = 0,781; p <0,003) and BMI (r = 0,722; p <0,008); It was found that there was a statistically significant difference between the strength of the nondominante hand grip and weight (r = 0,595; p <0,041), and the values of bmi (r = 0,701; p <0,011). Conclusion: It was observed that there was no statistically significant difference between hand grip strengths of elite weightlifting and wrestling athletes. As a result of the correlation analysis, it was observed that weight and BMI parameters in weightlifting athletes had an effect on both dominant and non-dominant hand grip strength.
