Reliability of Performance of Elite Olympic Weightlifters
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2004There are no published data on the reliability of competitive strength performance, even though it has a pronounced effect on athletes' medal prospects and the ability of coaches and athletes to identify factors that affect competitive performance. The purpose of this investigation was to analyze the reliability of elite olympic weightlifters over a ...

Performance evaluation of Olympic weightlifters
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1979The comparison of weights lifted by athletes in different bodyweight categories is a continuing problem for the sport of olympic weightlifting. An objective mechanical evaluation procedure was developed using basic ideas from a model proposed by Ranta in 1975. This procedure was based on more realistic assumptions than the original model and considered

Power production by Olympic weightlifters
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1980A new procedure was developed for calculating power production during Olympic lifting movements and comparisons were made with a method previously used. The power output of seven superior lifters was determined during selected phases of the snatch, clean, and jerk, from films taken at the 1975 U.S. National Championships.

Age dependence of Olympic weightlifting ability
Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 1994There is increasing interest among Masters athletes in standards for comparing performances of competitors of different ages. The goal of this study was to develop one such age-comparison method by examining the age dependence of ability in Olympic-style weightlifting.

Bone mineral density in elite junior Olympic weightlifters
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1993The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of bone mineral density (BMD) to muscular strength in highly trained young male athletes in order to gain insights concerning the influence of heavy resistance training on BMD. Twenty-five elite junior weightlifters (age, 17.4 +/- 1.4 yr) and 11 age-matched controls (16.9 +/- 1.1 yr) volunteered

Biomechanical Profiles of Olympic Weightlifters
International Journal of Sport Biomechanics, 1985The heaviest successful snatch and clean and jerk for five Gold medalists in weight-lifting at the 1984 Olympic Games were analyzed from 16mm film. Bar trajectories all showed that as the barbell was lifted from the platform it moved toward the athlete during the first pull, then away from the athlete and finally toward him again as it began to descend

Comparison of balance performance between masters Olympic weightlifters and runners
Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2020Balance disorders are a common problem among older adults that greatly increase susceptibility for falls and fractures. Aerobically trained older (masters) athletes tend to exhibit superior balance abilities compared to that of healthy age‐matched counterparts.
