Clean and Jerk Exercise
Sports that use push-pull actions require the athlete to apply force continuously throughout the desired range of movement. If an athlete wants to apply maximum force to a heavy resistance, the athlete simultaneously uses the largest number of body segments that can be applied to the task such as the legs, back, shoulders and arms. The clean and jerk is an exercise that allows the athlete to apply maximum force when using the push-pull action. In the exercise, clean and jerk, the “clean” means that the athlete is performing the lifting-pulling action and the “jerk” means that the athlete is performing the push action. Another action in the push-pull exercise is carrying. The athlete performs this action when he/she pauses with the bar at the chest and when the bar is at arm’s length above the head. The mechanical principles involved in the clean and jerk apply to all lifting, carrying and spotting techniques. Laws controlling stability also play an important role in the clean and jerk because the athlete needs to have a good stance in order to perform the exercise properly. The characteristics for the exercise are simple, yet important.
