To Syllabus

Starts week 4, 2025

The course highlights key elements in the technical execution of competition approved lifts in the disciplines of squats, bench press and dead lifting. The course deals with the principles and foundations of individualising technique to optimise adaptations based on individual conditions, needs and goals. Competition rules in each discipline are analysed and discussed according to the judging criteria. The key aspects of the technical execution of the lifts in relation to energy efficiency, movement path, movement timing and compliance with formal requirements are identified and problematised. The ability of powerlifting to contribute to meeting sustainability goals relating to well-being at both the national and global levels are discussed from a variety or perspectives focussing on the most common public health diseases. The course also deals with socio economic, equality and equal opportunity related aspects of non discriminatory rights and opportunities to partake in the sport. Specific responsibilities that powerlifting has and opportunities that it provides to contribute to increased equality and equal opportunities in sport and wider society are discussed on the basis of the UN Global Sustainability objectives 5 and 10, as well as the goal of the National Sports Federation to promote inclusive sports and safe sports environments.
