Abstract

Given the need for the subjects to participate actively and consciously in the weightlifting training units and given the relationship of the theoretical preparation with such pedagogical principle, theoretical deficiencies are detected in four of the six athletes of the training team. Weightlifting (youth category) of the School for School Sports Initiation (EIDE) of Villa Clara, which were prepared for the 2019-2020 macrocycle. A set of elementary theoretical contents related to the clean and jerk exercise technique are proposed and evaluated by criteria of 22 experts, with high agreement in the results given the Kendall's coefficient of agreement (0.88264463), significant at a level of 0.001, in which the points awarded are between 4 and 5. Such contents were applied experimentally during two special preparation mesocycles, under conditions and methodological guidelines for active and conscious participation in the different training sessions. Finally, the improvement in knowledge and active and conscious participation is verified by means of the final theoretical tests, evidenced by observation by five coaches who are members of the Provincial Commission of this sport.
