A weightlifter needs to develop maximum power for competition. Based on biomechanical principles, they should focus primarily on:

  1. Speed-dominated power to increase lifting velocity
  2. Flexibility training to improve range of motion
  3. Endurance training to sustain effort over time
  4. Strength-dominated power to overcome resistance

\(D\)

Show Worked Solution
  • D is correct: Weightlifting requires strength-dominated power to overcome heavy resistance, prioritising force production over speed.

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Speed-dominated power is more appropriate for jumping and running activities.
  • B is incorrect: While flexibility helps, power development is the primary requirement.
  • C is incorrect: Weightlifting is primarily anaerobic and power-focused, not endurance-based.
