Olympic Lifting

rdfs:comment

Pound for pound, Olympic weightlifters have a greater level of speed-strength than any other class of athletes in all of sport. Sports scientists found that Olympic lifters were able to both vertical jump higher than any class of athletes (including the high jumpers), and run a 25 yard dash faster than any class of athletes (including the sprinters). One of the reasons for this is that vertical jump performance is highly affected by an athlete's Rate of Force Development (ROFD), otherwise known as the speed at which force can be produced, which is heavily trained by the Olympic lifts and their variations.

Pound for pound, Olympic weightlifters have a greater level of speed-strength than any other class of athletes in all of sport. Sports scientists found that Olympic lifters were able to both vertical jump higher than any class of athletes (including the high jumpers), and run a 25 yard dash faster than any class of athletes (including the sprinters). One of the reasons for this is that vertical jump performance is highly affected by an athlete's Rate of Force Development (ROFD), otherwise known as the speed at which force can be produced, which is heavily trained by the Olympic lifts and their variations. The term also applies to the methodologies used in the sport of Olympic Lifting as a training mechanism, i.e. a person can use Olympic Lifting as a method of improving health or to supplement another type of training.
