INTRODUCTION
Sport defines as the activity which mainly involves the physical movement of the body in
order to play game. Sport analysis is the complete observational task which is done by the coach
in order to collect the data about the athletes' performance (Hamlin, Lizamore and Hopkins,
2018). Athlete analysis refer as the approach to identify the required qualities for the athlete, it
also gives the analysis about the injuries, so it will enable the coach to prepare the training plan
for the athlete or to use the preventive measure to avoid any injuries. This report discusses the
weightlifting sport and also entails the sport review along with the bio motor abilities.
MAIN BODY
Review for the sport
Weightlifting is the individual sport, but still it is able to provides the greater and
entertaining aspects for the team sport. This sport usually contains the two events which are one
hand and two hand lift. In such the athlete lifted the weight from the ground to their overhead.
This game test the physical endurance of the athlete, this game is also plays in a Olympic in
which the athletes of the different country competes which each other. The main lifts is
performed by the athletes are snatch and other are jerk and clean. In which the snatch involves
the regular lifting movement, in this the weight is over the head of the athlete and the arm
position for snatch is extended, also the athlete is in squat position. Snatch is consider as the
fastest motion in all games (Gullu and et.al 2020). For the clean and jerk lift these are the part
lift, in which the athlete stands up from the squat situation, and takes a pause after this they
moved their knees and push the weight over the head.
Duration and breaks in weightlifting game
For the weightlifting game there are possible three competitive round, for the athletes it is
important to follow all the rounds in a sequential order. For the weightlifting set the timing lasts

between the 30 and 40 seconds. As for the break criteria it is depends on how heavy the weight
is. Ideally it is about 2 to 5 minute rest for the heavyweight. Weightlifting game consider as the
Olympic sport. In which the individual athlete competes with each other, they lift the barbell
which includes the heavyweight plates. For playing this game every athlete is liable to take the
three chance for both snatch and clean or jerk.
Typical movement pattern in the weightlifting
Side shuffle is the common pattern which is the agility exercise that mainly aims the
glutes, thighs part of the body. As by doing this exercise will increase the strength of the lower
body that is more important for the weight lifter athlete. This exercise boosts the metabolism of
the person also lead to burn the calories which enables the athletes to stay fit and win their
matches. Other typical movement which can be seen is hinge pattern which is pulling pattern that
targets the lower body (Hancock and et.al 2021). Hinge pattern also consider as the dead lift in
this the major movement body parts are lower portion, back.
Frequency of the side shuffle movement refer as to continue the shuffling in both left o
right direction on the basis of the desired time which is set by the athlete. Side shuffle pattern
frequency also consider as the “Heel to rear Jog” It is suggested to initiates with the staring 10
seconds and leads it to the 90 second sessions. If the individual is able to enhance their fitness at
this frequency then they can proceed to enhance their speed. Intensity for the side shuffle pattern
is to slowly starts the movement without jumping, it is suggested that to do the side shuffle raps
for almost about the 20 to 50 seconds and then linked it with the other increased intensity
physical exercises. Its benefit is that it will keep the heart rate up for the entire exercise session.
Other type of pattern that can be seen in weightlifting is balance it is the critical type of
lifting pattern which can be seen in Olympic lifting. As snatch balance define as compound
physical exercise which completely activates the muscles, it is most recommended exercise for
the weight lifter to prepare for the Olympics. For the snatch balance it is stated that athlete
proceeds with the weights which they take and complete 1-3 repetitions. Athlete first need to set
the barbell outside of their squat which is set by their height and the position of the barbell must
be lower than the shoulders (Milanese and et.al 2017). Main benefit of doing this exercise as it
will enable the athlete to enhance their snatch techniques, it also helps to improve the footwork
which is beneficial in order to do the complicated exercises as full and power snatch, that are
considered as the complex exercises in weightlifting game.
