The results of participants in Junior World Championships of weight lifting were compared between the years 1978 and 1981 and also between 1981 and 1984. In contrast to a significant improvement of athletic performance which occurred between 1978 and 1981, no significant change was seen between 1981 and 1984. It is suggested that this lack of improvement may be attributed to the more effective doping control imposed in the last few years.
