Correlation Relationship Between Landing Phase Momentum In The Bar Lift To The Breast, the Weight Variables On Each Leg and knee joint in Female Iraqi League Weightlifters

Abstract

The aim of the research was to identify the correlation relationship between the moment of landing in the weight lift to the breast, weight variables on each leg and the knee joint in female Iraqi weightlifters. The importance of the research lies in finding the places where the athlete is more prone to injuries and injuries can be reduced in joints by decreasing rotation radius thus decreasing the moments affecting the joint during this phase. The subjects were (7) female Iraqi league weightlifters. The researchers conducted many tests including body mass test, maximum achievement tests for the clean and jerk, kinematical variables analysis of landing phase, the knee joint. The results showed that the weight on each leg have the highest correlation value with the final sitting momentum variables. In addition to that, the researchers concluded that the moment on the knee joint during the fall phase was the highest value in knee1 and the angle of knee3 of the knee bending angles
