Tõsteviisid
Tõsteviisid are variations of lifting techniques used in weight training and strength sports. The term originates from Estonian, where "tõsta" means "to lift" and "viis" means "method" or "way". In both amateur and professional contexts, the classification of lifting methods helps athletes, coaches, and sports scientists design training programs, monitor biomechanical loading, and assess performance outcomes.
The primary categories of tõsteviisid include concentric, eccentric, and isometric contractions. Concentric versions involve shortening of
Within Olympic weightlifting, two distinct lifts dominate training: the snatch and the clean and jerk. Each
