Linear kinematics of the barbell in snatch lifts. Data are means (±SD).

Vertical kinematics	Men (n=9)	Women (n=9)
Barbell height at the end of the first pull (m)	.50 (.04)	.49 (.02)
Barbell height at the end of the second pull (m)	.89 (.04)	.89 (.04)
Maximal height of the barbell (m)	1.16 (.05)	1.17±0.05)
Drop displacement of the barbell (m)	0.14 (.03)	.15 (.02)
Maximal vertical linear velocity of the barbell in the first pull (m·s-1)	1.14 (.15)	1.03 (.12)
Maximal vertical linear velocity of the barbell in the second pull (m·s-1)	1.69 (.07)	1.80 (.12)*
Horizontal kinematics
Horizontal displacement toward weightlifter in the first pull (cm)	3.56 (1.40)	4.26 (1.25)
Horizontal displacement away from weightlifter in the second pull (cm)	2.27 (2.94)	1.55 (4.74)
Horizontal displacement toward weightlifter after beginning of descent from maximum height (cm)	3.52 (1.89)	5.41 (4.20)
