Tiivistelmä
The objective of this project is to help adolescent’s children to learn and understand the very basics of Olympic weightlifting and the correct techniques to keep them healthy and safe during their training sessions at the gym.
The weightlifting manual consists from 17 small chapters, which will guide the athlete through the world of weightlifting. Some of the chapters are divided into subcategories to make the information more clearly for the young athletes. The manual includes total of ten movements, which are divided in to three separate categories: warm up, Olympic lifting and strengthening lifting.
Exercises follow the order from Olympic lifts to strengthening lifts in order to present the importance of mastering the technique which is involved with classical weightlifting. In this matter, it is logical and crucial to start the learning process backwards from most advanced to very basics. This order gives the athlete all the tools to execute the movements included in the manual.
Classical weightlifting and the strengthening movements included are one of the most complicated full body exercises in the world. The challenge is mastering every single detail within the technique and learning how your body functions during these movements. Weightlifting develops all the athletic qualities needed in almost every sport, because of the variety of the movements and the muscle work which is needed to execute them. Because of the complexity and nature of the weightlifting, there is always something new to learn when you step in the gym.
The manual was made for children between 12-15 years old, so they have enough information and the correct tools to start lifting weights safely and protected.
