Gender differences, however, subtle need to be taken into account in the learning/training of weightlifters. If a coach prepares a female weightlifter from a male perspective there is a risk the strengths of the female athlete will be ignored. The coach may endeavor to decide the female weightlifter`s movements conform to generally accepted parameters; which have been handed down for decades as appropriate for male weightlifters. That would be the nurture approach. A nature approach would allow thefemale weightlifter perform the classic exercises in conformity with the strengths inherent to the athlete`s Biology: low overall muscle tension, larger mobility in joints ability to reflexively relax muscles fast; utilize inertia, elastic energy, and so forth. Consequently, the coach needs to cognizant of the technique peculiarities of the female athlete such as a more effective utilization of calf muscles and less reliance on the back (an Asian pull technique) an asymmet-rical placement of the feet in squat, bowing the legs in and out during thepull, a longer time of readiness in the jerk a `dolga gatovitsa`, a mechanically efficient expression of muscle power by means of relaxation of unnecessary tension in antagonists and a greater reliance on utilizing elasticenergy from tendons and ligaments.
