This was the first delivery by Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Weightlifting Federation of a foundation research course of weightlifting, working in collaboration with the University of Trinidad and Tobago. The aim was for the students to gain a basic understanding of the lifts, how and when to apply the assistant exercises, as well as to undertake and appraise a weightlifting session. The research element of the course was designed with the aim of tracking the progress of the lifts through monitoring the trajectory of the bar, including also its velocity and acceleration. A brief history of the sport, on when and how it developed, including its past and present lifters and achievements was then covered. There was a health and safety section which had several strands that examined how to write an accident report. The Federation also included a section on how safe Olympic Weightlifting is. |
