Abstract:The aim of this paper is to present the results of an assessment of internal loads in the joints of the lower limbs during the snatch performed by young weightlifters. A planar model of a weightlifter composed of 7 rigid segments (the lower trunk, thighs, lower legs and feet) connected by six hinge joints was used in the computations. The dynamic equations of the motion of the model were obtained using a projective technique. Kinematic data were recorded by a Vicon system with a sampling frequency of 200 Hz. T… Show more
