Flywheel Training Effects on Power and Performance in Youth Olympic Weightlifters
Sponsor: New Damietta University Hospital
Summary
This study investigated the effects of flywheel inertial training on lower-limb power, trunk stability, and Olympic weightlifting performance in youth athletes. Eighteen youth Olympic weightlifters were allocated to a flywheel training group or a control group. Both groups continued their regular weightlifting training over a 10-week intervention period. The experimental group performed additional flywheel-based exercises twice weekly. Outcomes included measures of lower-limb power, trunk inclination during lifting, weightlifting performance, and technical error frequency.

Interventions
Flywheel Inertial Training
Flywheel inertial training was performed twice weekly for 10 weeks in addition to regular Olympic weightlifting training. The program included lower-limb and trunk exercises such as squats, split squats, Romanian deadlifts, pulling variations, and core stabilization exercises. The training emphasized eccentric overload and progressive resistance to enhance power production and movement control.
Traditional Weightlifting Training
Participants performed conventional Olympic weightlifting training including snatch and clean and jerk technique practice, squats, pulling exercises, strength exercises, mobility exercises, and general physical preparation according to the regular training program.
