Improving Olympic weightlifting performance in the training environment

The Weightlifting Video Overlay System provides coaches and athletes with objective measures of lifting performance along with synchronized video images for the entire lifting movement sequence. The feedback of performance results is available immediately after the completion of the lift. Both coach and athlete can review lifting technique and performance measures in normal, half, or quarter speed. Frame-by-frame playback as well as repeated viewing is also available. Athletes and coaches are provided a CD or video tape for subsequent study of lifting performance. This system offers weightlifting coaches a way to help their athletes improve their lifting technique based upon objective measures of lifting performance and a qualitative analysis of technique. It provides a unique combination of information that can not be seen by the naked eye. The needed technique corrections can be suggested by the coach before the athlete`s next lift. This lift can then be reviewed so that the coach and athlete can evaluate whether or not the weightlifting performance shows improved execution.
