BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SNATCH TECHNIQUE OF ELITE MALES IN TAIWAN

Abstract

The study compared two-dimensional snatch parameters of Taiwan elite males with International athletes by two-dimensional snatch parameters. Two males who were good Weight Lifting athletes in Taiwan were analyzed through PEAK motion analysis system to obtain kinematic data of the bar bell and human body. The result we found out as follows (1) The maximum velocity of barbell raising of this study was from 2.049 m/s to 2.124 m/so (2) The barbell speed ratio of the first and second pull of male lifters of this study was from 1.07 to 1.47. (3) The percentage of barbell height to the lifters' height of females lifters was 73% to 74% (4) The vertical dropping velocity of gravity of body of this study was 203.1 m/s to 205.7 m/so
