A focus on the knee and hip joints, force, power, inertia, angle of pull, force vectors, centripetal/centrifugal forces, levers, linear velocity, etc.
I am researching this topic for a course presentation. I would appreciate any information or referral to specific articles, specific research, etc.
There is a pretty large amount of research about the snatch. These might be a good start:
Ho, L. K., et al. (2014). "Reviewing current knowledge in snatch performance and technique: the need for future directions in applied research." Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research 28(2): 574-586.
Bartonietz, K. E. (1996). "Biomechanics of the snatch: toward a higher training efficiency." Strength and Cond. 18(3): 24-31.
Hadi, G., et al. (2012). "Three-dimensional kinematic analysis of the snatch technique for lifting different barbell weights." Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research 26(6): 1568-1576.
Gourgoulis, V., et al. (2009). "Unsuccessful vs. successful performance in snatch lifts: a kinematic approach." Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research 23(2): 486-494.
I lifted for a short while, but was not very good. I study it as well, as it will be a big part of my dissertation once data collection starts. Glad the information helped.
