Weightlifting load effect on intra-limb coordination of lower extremity during pull phase in snatch: Vector coding approach

This study examined the weightlifting load effects on the lower extremity coordination pattern during a snatch pull movement. Twenty male elite weightlifters performed snatch trials in each of the three load conditions [light (30%), medium (65%) and heavy (90%) of their maximum weightlifting capacities]. Kinematic data for the transition, second pull and take-off phases of a snatch were collected at 200 Hz using an eight-camera motion capture...
