The sample was deliberately selected from first-stage students at the Faculty of Education. In the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, with 76 students from Classes D and E, the sample percentage was 23.75% out of a total of 320 students. A cotinine examination was conducted on the sample, which consisted of 70 students divided into two groups: the first group included smokers, and the second group included non-smokers.<br> <strong>Results. </strong>The study showed a direct and significant correlation between the variable percentage of cotinine in the body and the variable language. It turned out that the value of the association between cotinine and achievement for the group of smokers is 0.068, which is not significant at a p-value of 0.699. In contrast, the value of the association between cotinine and achievement for the non-smoking group is 0.9470, which is significant at p < 0.001. The relationship is positive, although it did not meet the expected figures.<br> <strong>Conclusion. </strong>The study found a weak correlation between cotinine variables and snatch lift achievement in smokers, while non-smokers showed a positive correlation with snatch lift achievement. Smokers had been exposed to smoking for long periods, indicating a weak correlation between cotinine variables and snatch lift achievement. Non-smokers had a standard percentage of cotinine in urine, indicating a stronger correlation between cotinine variables and snatch lift achievement.</div> Cotinine, Weightlifting Sports, Snatch Lift 0 0 http://aassjournal.com/browse.php?a_code=A-11-2417-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Omar Khalid Yasir omar.taha@cope.uobaghdad.edu.iq 100319475328460017249 0009-0008-3020-3032 Yes College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, University of Baghdad, Baghdad, Iraq
