Maximum
barbell vertical displacement prior to the catch in the
snatch lift ranges between 1.0 — 1.3 m (Baumann et al. 1988; Garhammer, 1985; Garhammer, 2001; Campos et al. 2006; Gourgoulis et al. 2002; 2004; 2009; Okada et al. 2008; Akkuş, 2012; Harbili, 2012; Ho et al. 2014; Harbili & Alptekin, 2014) but decreases with increasing load (Garhammer, 1985; 2001; Hadi et al. 2012) and is greater in males
than in females (Gourgoulis et al. 2002) but smaller in more skilled athletes
than in less skilled athletes (Burdett et al. 1982).
