Biomechanics of the Snatch Analyzed by Physiotutors during their Bachelor Studies as a project of the Subject Biomechanics 3
During our Bachelor studies, we had to follow the course Biomechanics 3. In previous courses (1 & 2) we learned a lot about the several forces acting on the body, as well as, in and around a joint. We focused a lot on the biomechanics of gait, specific muscle activity, and more. In Biomechanics 3, the ultimate goal was to write a biomechanical analysis of a chosen movement. The analysis should include: Phases of the movement, kinematics, external forces, and joint analysis including muscle activity.
We chose the Olympic snatch as we thought it represented a relatively complex movement, which we could analyze in the sagittal plane. In the video below you will see the Olympic snatch with the different phases it’s divided into.
