Concurrent validity and test-retest reliability for the assessment of body segment lengths using two-dimensional video-recordings in weightlifting
The aims of this study were 1) to propose a simple two-dimensional (2D) video-based method to measure segment lengths in the clean and jerk during weightlifting competitions, and 2) to check concurrent validity and test-retest reliability compared to 3D video-based measurements.

| Summary: | The aims of this study were 1) to propose a simple two-dimensional (2D) video-based method to measure segment lengths in the clean and jerk during weightlifting competitions, and 2) to check concurrent validity and test-retest reliability compared to 3D video-based measurements. In the first part of the study, key body positions for the assessment of segment lengths via 2D measurement method were determined. In the second part, concurrent validity was verified, comparing the 2D segment length measurements to 3D measurements. In the third part, the test-retest reliability of the 2D approach was investigated. In the clean and in the jerk, the lift-off/start position and the position of maximum barbell velocity displayed a minimised offset between ‘real’ 3D segment lengths and 2D projections of the segment lengths. For the concurrent validity assessment, the overall random measurement error was 4.3% with concordance correlation coefficients ranging from 0.64 to 0.88. The standard error of measurement in the test-retest procedure was 2.4% on average with intraclass correlation coefficients ranging from 0.85 to 0.96. The proposed 2D video-based approach to measure body segment lengths during weightlifting exercises is proven to be a valid and reliable procedure. |
