WEIGHTLIFTING EXERCISES FOR LOWER-EXTREMITY POWER: An Alternative With Less Risk

Critique weightlifting exercises used in the training of lower-extremity power and their proposed supplementary benefits and recommend the use of an existing abbreviated exercise in training with the goal ofLower-extremeity power enhancement.

Comparison of Different Methods of Determining Power Output in Weightlifting Exercises

The methods of measuring power output in weightlifting exercises in these terms are discussed, with specific considerations, advantages, and disadvantages.

Weightlifting Movements and Sprint Performance

A review of the available scientific research on the impact of weightLIFTing-BASED training on sprinter performance concludes that there is limited research evidence supporting the potential benefits of weightlIFTing techniques to SPRINT performance.

Training For Pow er: Principles And Practice

Developing an athlete’s ability to generate power is a key goal of periodisation. This development can be enhanced through manipulation of the force­velocity curve, whereby athletes first increase…

Should All Athletes Use Explosive Lifting?

The authors addressed the applications and limitations of a type of resistance training known as explosive lifting and the discrepancies in the field about its use focus on the weightlifting movements and how they are used to develop explosive power.

Training for power: principles and practice

Developing an athlete’s ability to generate power is a key goal of periodisation. This development can be enhanced through manipulation of the force-velocity curve, whereby athletes first increase…

Unique Aspects of Competitive Weightlifting Training and Physiology

Weightlifting is a dynamic strength and power sport in which two, multijoint, whole-body lifts are performed in competition; the snatch and clean and jerk. During the performance of these lifts,…

Effects of ballistic training on preseason preparation of elite volleyball players.

Analysis of the data from the various other jump tests suggested increased overall force output during jumping, and in particular increased rate of force development were the main contributors to the increased jump height.

Maximum Strength‐Power‐Performance Relationships in Collegiate Throwers

Results suggest that maximum strength is strongly associated with PP even at relatively light loads such as those associated with sport-specific dynamic explosiveness (i.e., SN, SP, WGT), and peak force, peak rate of force development, and PP increased over the 8 weeks.
