| Abstract | ||
| The purpose of this research is identifying the following: 1- The setting of specific gymnastic exercises for weightlifters (youth-class) 2- The effect of using gymnastic exercises on the maximum strength and the flexibility of certain body joints of the weightlifters 3- The effect of having limber joints and a high maximum strength on the weightlifters' performance and bar path The weightlifters used the experimental research method by selecting two compatible groups, because it fits this type of studies well. The research population is represented by twelve weightlifters (selected purposively) from Al Diwaniya Club and Al Rafidayn Club, and they were divided into two groups (the control group and the experimental group). The researchers tested the weightlifters' performance, maximum strength, bar path and flexibility. Depending in the results of this experiment, the researchers concluded the following: 1- Using gymnastic exercises contributed to the enhancement of the weightlifters' joint limberness and affected their performance positively. 2- The enhancement of the weightlifters' flexibility affected their maximum strength and bar path positively. The researcher recommends the following: 1- Coaches should include these gymnastic exercises in the training program of weightlifters, because it affects their maximum strength, performance and bar path during the snatch lift. 2- There should be more similar researches on high intensity exercises in order to improve the sporter's muscular power. | ||
