Identification of some technical particularities in weightlifting athletes

Abstract

Among the most important elements of the barbell lifting technique, we can mention the positioning of athletes’ soles on the competition platform. This technical element is called the initial or starting position and represents the first element of the barbell lifting algorithm. In this research, we shall try to identify (through measurements), in performance (world class) athletes, the position and the stability of their soles on the support surface, in relation to sports performance.
