The Effect of Corrective Exercises on Certain Bio kinematic Variables of the Barbell’s Kinetic Path in the Snatch Lift among Youth Weightlifters

Abstract

The objective of the study was to identify the effect of corrective exercises on certain kinematic variables and the snatch performance of the experimental group. The researchers adopted the experimental method using two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The study sample consisted of twelve weightlifters from the National Center for the Care of Sports Talent, representing 63.15% of the research population. Based on the findings, the researchers concluded that the effectiveness of the training program corrective exercises supported by motion image analysis contributed to improving specific bio kinematic variables and enhancing snatch performance. Considering the results and conclusions, the researchers recommended adopting visual and video-based motion analysis to identify weaknesses in kinematic variables and address them accordingly. Furthermore, they emphasized the importance of designing and applying corrective exercises based on the outcomes of motion analysis, whether the deficiencies are related to the athlete or the skill being performed.
