Gourgoulis et al compare linear kinematics and energy changes of the barbell, along with the angular kinematics of the leg movement during the snatch technique, between male adolescent and adult weightlifters. Results reveal no significant differences between the adolescent and the adult weightlifters in the majority of the kinematic variables, indicating that the adolescent weightlifters were characterized by a high level of snatch technique and differentiated from the adults at the less powerful execution of the movement.
