| Summary: | To date, the biomechanical analysis of upper limb during clean and
jerk event for analyzing the movement of the upper limb and reducing the risk of injury
have been on-going being investigated. However, little is known about the
biomechanical analysis of lower limb (knee joint) during clean and jerk event in young
males and females best state-level weightlifters. This study was carried out
to compare the knee joint range of motion following 1 Repitition Maximum (1-RM) and
50% of 1-RM power clean, to compare the barbell acceleration following 1-RM and
50% of 1-RM power clean at the second pull phase and to measure and analyse the knee
joint reaction force during 50% of 1-RM power clean weightlifting. Twenty-five best state-level weightlifters (17 males and 8 females) volunteered to
participate in this study. The biomechanical analysis was included the two-dimension
(2D) kinematic analysis and three-dimension (3D) motion capture analysis. For 2D
analysis test, the participants were encouraged to perform 1 Repetition Maximum (1-
RM) power clean and the performances of the participants were recorded using the
video camera. Meanwhile, for 3D analysis test, the power clean test at 50% of 1-RM
was recorded using high speed motion capture cameras The result of this
study indicated that the mean value of the knee joint range of motion (ROM) and
barbell acceleration at 50% of 1-RM power clean were greater compared to at 1-RM
power clean. Both parameters were statistically significant (p<0.05) between 1-RM and
50% 1-RM power clean. The knee joint reaction force (JRF) data were not comparable due to huge gap of the number of male and female weightlifters. Therefore, only the
descriptive data were shown. Based on the result, the demographic data
showed the overall physical evaluation of the athletes, which was in fair category.
Moreover, the values of the knee joint range of motion during 50% of 1-RM and 1-RM
power clean were lower than the normal range. Then, The change of the barbell
acceleration was affected by the intensity of the training. Furthermore, the value of the
knee joint reaction force during the second pull phase among male and female was not
in the normal range. In conclusion, two-dimensional kinematic analysis was able to
explore the power clean technique while the three-dimensional motion capture analysis
was able to investigate the mechanical principles of power clean. |
