The purpose of this study was to collect the data of maximum strength, rate of force development and momentum during the initial force developing moment of snatch, clean and jerk, for establishing the model of talent identification of weightlifting. Thirty four athletes were voluntarily participated in this study and were randomly divided into elite and regular groups. All subjects performed the two type formal weightlifting movements by using a load cell, and then, all data were processing with independent t-test statistical method. The significant level was set at α=.05. The results indicated that there was no significant difference within the male elite & regular groups (p<.05), but in female group, the elite group had better performance on maximal strength (1.5 vs. 1.1), higher rate of force development (maximal strength/time) of snatch movement, as well as in the clean and jerk movement (p<.05). In conclusion, the study indicates that the method, especially the rate of force development, has higher predicting application for female weightlifting talent identification.
