Questions With Correct Answers
Line of gravity imaginary vertical line that passes through the athletes center of mass and
runs through the point at the feet over which the athlete is balanced. Slightly behind mid foot
Center of pressure The point of the foot at which the downward force of the barbell body
system is focused. Line of gravity usually passes through this point but not when an athlete is
moving
Strength versus technique Debates are on extreme ends of the spectrum, some say
Olympic lifting is fully dependent on technique while others say technique is irrelevant with
enough strength.
Strength versus technique continued You need both a good amount of strength and
technique to per a successful lift
Technique is The medium through which strength is expressed
Legs versus hips Both are critical for optimal pulling, knee extension for elevating the
barbell and hip extension for the speed of the barbell
, Advanced weight training Exam 1 Detailed
Questions With Correct Answers
Maximal hip and knee extension Creates maximal elevation and acceleration of the
barbell
Body proportions and effects There is an ideal physique based on anatomical structure
that gives lifters an advantage in Olympic lifting
Body proportions and effects continued Anatomical structure-Lengths Of limbs and
trunk, the width and shape of pelvis, shape of the skeletal components of the shoulder complex
and the precise alignment of various joints
Physical traits Traits that individuals possess by virtue of birth, not due to any intentional
intervention, examples include speed and explosiveness.
Physical traits continued Speed and explosiveness are primarily dictated by the natural
ratio of fast to slow twitch muscle fibers,hormone levels, skeletal structure and neurological
factors such as motor units recruitment.

Questions With Correct Answers
Example of physical traits People who are naturally strong or flexible but do not lift or
stretch often.
Physical traits in Olympic lifting The elbow is very important, some lifters can
hyperextend the elbow to fully extend the arm with weight overhead due to their natural range of
motion while other lifters can not fully extend the elbow and will struggle more keeping weight
stable overhead
Training response and recovery No two athletes will respond the same to any given
training stimulus due to innate characteristics each athlete possesses. Factors include hormones,
sleep quality and stress management
Why warm up for training? Reduce chance of injury by preparing joints and muscles.
Optimize performance by improving nerve transmission and communication between central
nervous system and motor units
Idea of warming up Increase body temperature, get blood flow through the muscles, and
get synovial fluid through the joints without taxing it metabolically.
