Weightlifting Exercises Enhance Athletic Performance That Requires High-Load Speed Strength

چکیده
W eightlifting is a sport in which athletes compete for the total weight of 2 lifts: the snatch and the clean and jerk. The training methods used in this sport are also used as a method of strength training for a wide range of other sports. Weightlifting exercises can be effective for enhancing athletic performance that requires high-load speed strength such as football, basketball, volleyball, and track and field events because of their biomechanical characteristics of high force and power output (11, 21). Weightlifting exercises include the snatch, clean and jerk, and variations of these such as the hang snatch, hang clean, snatch pull, and clean pull. The purpose of this article is to provide a biomechanical and physiological discussion as to why weightlifting exercises are useful to improve athletic performance and how they should be performed in a training program.
