Q

Olympic weightlifting limitations:

A
  • time consuming to teach
  • high risk of injury (orthopaedic concerns)
  • poor mechanical specificity
19
Q

Poor mechanical specificity with Olympic weightlifting:

A
  • direction of force only vertical
  • cyclic regime difficult to achieve
  • bilateral
20
Q

Kinematic and kinetic parameters between snatch and ____ ____ are very similar.

A

vertical jump

21
Q

Strong correlation between weightlifting performance and ____ ____ performance in weightlifters.

A

vertical jump

22
Q

Strong relationship between isometric clean pull and _____ performance.

A

throwing

23
Q

Olympic lifting exercises appear to produce _____ performance improvements than VJ exercises in physically active subjects.

A

broader

24
Q

Olympic lifting exercises and order during competition:

A
  • snatch

- clean and jerk

25
Q

How are Olympic lifts scored?

A
  • 3 attempts on each lift

- combined total of 2 heaviest successful lifts determines overall results within bodyweight category

26
Q

Basic training guidelines of Olympic lifts:

A
  • learn the receive/catch position first
  • introduce lifts from jump (or hang) position
  • 75-80% 1RM shown to produce highest power outputs
  • 3-6x < 6 reps with full recovery (2-5 min) between sets
27
Q

Traditional 1RM based prescription can be problematic when…

A

fluctuations in freshness and fatigue are considered

28
Q

Advantages of velocity based training:

A
  • autogregulated loading with target velocities based on normative values can increase quality of VCT training
  • target loads can easily be prescribed with a less strenuous p1RM VBT test at the start of each workout
29

37
Q

Guidelines for depth jumps:

A
  1. magnitude of load (weight and height)
  2. amortization should be minimal
  3. 5-8 reps per exercise as a start or calculated force from body mass and drop height
  4. increase speed and acceleration before drop height or take off height
38

Sets and reps for depth jumps:

A
  • 4 sets of 10 jumps for well conditioned
  • 2-3 sets of 5-8 jumps for lesser conditioned athletes
  • 1-2 times per week as part of special strength training prescription

Depth jumps should be utilized ____ days prior to a highly prioritized technical session.

A

3-4

40
Q
