Abstract

This study aims to improve the functional strength (Strength – Power- Balance) using the Functional strength Exercises and knowledge and their impact on Snatch performance for lifters. Applied study on a sample of (12) weightlifters Registered Egyptian Federation of weightlifting/ Egypt of season 2016/2017, the researcher used an experimental method to design two groups, one Functional strength group consisted of (6) lifter and the other control group of (6) lifter. Where the mean age of (20.17 ± 3.97 years) and height (166.00 ± 3.29 cm), weight (79.08 ± 14.02 kg) and age training (8.83 ± 4.02 years) for the Functional strength group, while the Mean age (18.83 ± 2.14 years), height (165.83 ± 8.59 cm), weight (69.07 ± 5.91 kg) and age training (6.33 ± 3.14 years) for the control group Methods. The Functional strength group underwent a functional strength Exercises while the control group underwent Traditional exercises. Functional strength Exercises Continued for 12 Weeks 3 times per week and the training session lasted 90-120 a minute. The pre and post for the two control and Functional strength group a measured functional strength (Strength – Power- Balance) and snatch performance tests for the two groups. Statistical analysis of the experimental and control data SPSS was used to apply formulas statistical by calculating: Mean, Standard deviation, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon test. Results. The results showed the use of a functional strength Exercises resulted in an improvement statistically significant at a level of functional strength training and snatch performance for weightlifters. This study confirms that a functional strength (strength – Power- Balance) training improves snatch performance for lifters. Conclusions. The Weightlifting Federation and attention by coaches trained in the application of a functional strength training weightlifters programs given the positive impact on the lifters.

Highlights

Weightlifting is one of the sports where there has been significant development of digital levels and performance of the lifters is linked to what they have of the qualities of a special physical (Vorobyev, 1978).The muscular strength is of great importance in the distinctive sports by strength, Power, speed and immense balance the relative importance of muscle strength in sports activities that require skills or movements such as lifting, stretching and push weightlifting (Vorobyev, 1989; Ian, 2004; Ebada, 2011).Functional strength training is one of the modern training methods
This progress is due to the impact of the researcher progress Development Training progress strength to muscles strong center and linking the lower valuation of the top party working in the snatch has led to improved performance level to snatch lift to Functional strength group
It agrees with the results of the study of each (Brewer et al, 2008, Ebada, 2008), which showed that the improved performance level weightlifting depends on the development of Power resulting from the strength and speed during the snatch lift performance

Introduction

Weightlifting is one of the sports where there has been significant development of digital levels and performance of the lifters is linked to what they have of the qualities of a special physical (Vorobyev, 1978).The muscular strength is of great importance in the distinctive sports by strength, Power, speed and immense balance the relative importance of muscle strength in sports activities that require skills or movements such as lifting, stretching and push weightlifting (Vorobyev, 1989; Ian, 2004; Ebada, 2011).Functional strength training is one of the modern training methods. The muscular strength is of great importance in the distinctive sports by strength, Power, speed and immense balance the relative importance of muscle strength in sports activities that require skills or movements such as lifting, stretching and push weightlifting (Vorobyev, 1989; Ian, 2004; Ebada, 2011). Functional strength training is the practice of motion against resistance weight bar, with an objective of improving a lifter strength, Power and Balance to perform a lift. Functional strength training has taken a different course today, functional strength training is a range of total-body activities that build strength, Power, balance and coordination for general fitness, and improve lifters ability to perform lifting. Functional strength training commonly is perceived as a form
