Abstract

The research work aimed to identify and analyse reactions in the joints of the lower limb as well as in the intervertebral joints of the lumbar spine when lifting weights and making a squat. The determination of loads of the skeletal-muscular system involved the performance of simulations in the AnyBody software programme. Input data used in the research-related tests came from the tests concerning the kinematics of weightlifting by a weightlifter. The use of mathematical modelling and static optimisation methods made it possible to identify resultant responses in the joints in individual positions of a squat made under various external loads. The highest resultant responses in all of the joints subjected to analysis were identified at an angle of 135 in knee joints. As a result, it is important to pay attention during training not to stop moving during an exercise at the above-named angle.
