Lean mass and quadriceps muscle architecture have been associated with performance in male well-trained weightlifters, but no data exist for female weightlifters. The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between lean mass, quadriceps cross sectional area (CSA), and muscle architecture with weightlifting performance in female weightlifters. Eight well-trained female weightlifters (age 23.5 ± 6.3 years, maximum total lifting performance = 147.4 ± 34.1 kg) participated in the study. Five of the athletes were members of the national team and three were among the nation's top-five performers of the respective body-weight category. Measurements included maximum lifting performance in snatch and clean and jerk, body composition (dual x-ray absorptiometry), vastus lateralis (VL) muscle architecture, vastus intermedius (VI) muscle thickness and quadriceps muscles' CSA and countermovement jump (CMJ). Very large to nearly perfect correlations were found between snatch and clean and jerk for trunk lean body mass (r = 0.959 and 0.929), for total CSA (r = 0.732 and 0.608), and CMJ power (r = 0.933 and 0.896). These results suggest that lean body mass, quadriceps' CSA and CMJ should be monitored regularly in female weightlifters to detect potential modifications in lifting performance.

"Organizational changes/improvements and or Lean Six Sigma has become more popular in workplaces in recent years. It is crucial to understand the theories; however, it is fatal to the success of a project if we fail to get to the heart of how and what is required to implement sustainable changes within an organization. This book offers focused, practical examples on how to maximize the value that Lean Six Sigma could bring to an organization, and shows how to deal with the greatest challenges to implementing change successfully. This book provides insight into: Balancing short term results with achieving long term sustainable change; Incorporating critical thinking into Lean Six Sigma to spur innovation; New ways of implementing change management within Lean Six Sigma and organizational transformation; Using a Lean Six Sigma Scorecard to maximize strategy execution within organizational projects. And much more!!!"--
