Abstract

Abstract : Learning Objectives: 1. Critique weightlifting exercises used in the training of lower-extremity power and their proposed supplementary benefits. 2. Recognize the potential for catastrophic acute injury and development of predisposing factors for future injury with weightlifting exercises. 3. Recommend the use of an existing abbreviated exercise in training with the goal of lower-extremity power enhancement.
