During the event, a Bangor University student, Grace Batey, will be conducting a study to which aims to look at how pressure affects athletes' technique and performance in competition versus in training.

Grace will be recording competition lifts (of those who agree to participate) from a respectable distance, and tracking the bar path. This will then be repeated later on in a training setting, where 3 Snatches and 3 Clean and Jerks will be recorded.

Grace will then analyse the bar paths, comparing across both competition and training to evaluate the differences.

This is an exciting opportunity to help support the research in your sport and will be beneficial to your future performances. There will be no interruptions to your training, programming, or competition performance, so why not get involved?

This is a UKAD registered event and testing may be in place. Click here for Anti-Doping and Clean Sport information
