Глоссарий правил v5.2
ISF glossary
Key terms are normalized from the official Rules v5.2 glossary and referee terminology so discipline names, movement names, officials and result concepts match the current rulebook.
Rules v5.2 dated October 1, 2026 is summarized directly on this site, with full PDF editions, glossary, FAQ, categories, records and official workflow sections available as internal pages. The English text of the Rules prevails.
Classic Streetlifting
A strength competition format with one maximal additional-weight repetition in pull-ups and dips.
Multirep Streetlifting
A competition format combining strength and functional endurance, where athletes perform as many valid repetitions as possible with a fixed weight within 2 minutes.
Weighted Calisthenics
A multi-event format including muscle-up, pull-ups, dips and barbell squats to compare all-around strength.
Divisions
Eligibility and competition-level categories: Amateur, Pro and Adaptive (Adaptive is results only; ISF records are not kept for it).
Weight Categories
Body-mass groupings determined by official weigh-in before the event.
Age Categories
Age-range groupings such as Juniors, Open and Masters 40+, determined on the competition date.
Sex Categories
Athlete groupings based on sex assigned at birth (Men, Women), with an Unrestricted Division for those outside the binary classification.
Pull-Up
A bar exercise from full arm extension to chin clearly over the bar; pronated and supinated grips are both permitted and judged by the same standard.
Dip
A dip-bar exercise on parallel or V-shaped bars where the athlete lowers the body until the shoulder joint is at or below elbow level, then extends the arms to full lock-out.
Muscle-Up
An exercise moving from a full hang to a support position above the bar or rings with full lock-out.
Bar Muscle-Up
The bar version of the muscle-up; default Weighted Calisthenics muscle-up discipline for male athletes.
Ring Muscle-Up
The ring version of the muscle-up (Section 4.3.2); default for female athletes, who may elect the Bar Muscle-Up no later than 10 minutes before the planned start of the attempts of their weight class.
Barbell Squat
A squat with the barbell on the back until the top surface of the thigh at the hip joint drops below the top of the knee, followed by return to the starting position.
Weights
Supplemental plates or kettlebells attached to the athlete belt to increase resistance.
Weight Belt
A specialized belt used to attach additional weight to the athlete during weighted exercises; the load hangs on a non-elastic textile or synthetic strap.
Accessories / Supportive Gear
Permitted items such as wrist wraps, elbow sleeves, knee sleeves and chalk when used within ISF regulations.
Referee Signals
A light signal system (white for a valid attempt, red for no-lift); if unavailable, flags or cards of the same colours are used. Commands are given by voice and hand signal.
Timer
A device for measuring attempt time or platform-call time.
Appeal
An official request by an athlete or representative to review a referee decision in a disputed situation.
Disqualification
Removal of an athlete from the competition or of an attempt from scoring due to rule violations, safety concerns or unsportsmanlike conduct.
ISF Record
The officially recognized best performance in a discipline at an ISF-sanctioned event under full rule compliance.
Jury
A panel of senior referees (Section 8.8) responsible for rule adherence, appeals and dispute resolution.
Chief Referee
The central (platform) referee who gives the commands Get Ready!, Start!, Finish! (Rack! in the Squat), stops a false start and repeats the commands, grants repeat attempts under Section 7.4.5 and decides on disputed gear before the athlete enters the platform (Sections 5.6, 7.4.5 and 8.1).
Side Referees
The two referees at the sides of the platform; they judge the attempt equally with the Chief Referee, and the decision is made by a 2-of-3 majority (Section 8.1).
Head Referee
The referee in charge of the refereeing team, appointed by the organizer in agreement with ISF or the national federation (international events: International Referee; national events: at least National Referee; other events: at least Regional Referee); does not referee on the platform at the same time and acts for the Jury in its absence (Section 8.8).
President of the Jury
The head of the Jury, holding the highest national or international referee category; appeals against referee decisions are lodged with the President of the Jury (Sections 7.9 and 8.8).
Technical Controller
The official who inspects competition equipment, plates and kettlebells before the competition and receives the women’s Bar Muscle-Up election (Sections 4.3, 6.1 and 6.9).
Chief Secretary
The head of the Secretariat who keeps the competition protocol and, together with the referees, verifies records (Sections 7.7.5 and 9.2).
False Start
Starting the movement before the Start! command. The Chief Referee stops the athlete and repeats the commands; a false start is not a no-rep in itself (Section 4).
Repeat Attempt
An attempt granted again after a loading error, the organizer’s equipment failure or an assistant error; it is taken at the end of the round (Section 7.4.5).
ISF Points
The official relative scoring system: ISF Points = 100 × (Result / (Expected × AgeFactor))^1.5, with AgeFactor = 1.0 — age is deliberately not taken into account (Section 10.9).
