Sports Performance and Training

In weightlifting, as in other sports, the fight for the first places within each weight class involves at least 4 to 6 athletes with approximately equal performances. The continuous improvement of the lifting technique must represent a permanent concern, without which the achievement of outstanding performances remains a random phenomenon. Among the main qualities required by weightlifting, an essential element in achieving sports performance is the lifting technique. This study focuses on the recording and analysis of execution times (from the moment when the discs are lifted off the platform until the upper limbs are stretched up with the barbell overhead). The study is part of an extensive research that aims, in this stage, at all categories of athletes participating in weightlifting competitions. The recording and measurement were performed using the AviSynth program that consisted of: camera - JVC digital camera, electronic computer, tripod, laptop, video monitor and video cassettes. The research presents the recording and analysis of execution times in the snatch event for some women weightlifters of European value, participants in the 2018 European Weightlifting Championships that took place in Bucharest, Romania. The research includes seven female athletes aged 21 to 30 years, from different countries, namely two athletes from Italy and one athlete from Bulgaria, Poland, France, the United Kingdom and Romania, respectively. This study is the continuation of a research on execution times in the snatch event, which finally aims to compare the Romanian athletes with those from other countries.
