Weightlifting

Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting are the most commonly practiced strength sports where maximal strength in one repetition is the primary focus. In weightlifting there are two events: the snatch and the clean and jerk. Powerlifting consists of three events: the squat, bench press and deadlift.The goal of both sports is to lift the maximum weight in each event.The risk of injury during heavy lifting at work or during leisure time is a well-recognised problem.

  • Weightlifting injuries can occur to your legs, knees, hips and backs.
  • They also affect the upper limb, especially you shoulders, elbows and wrists. Neck injuries are also common.
