What is a "pull"?

A pull refers to an injury where a muscle or tendon is stretched or torn, commonly known as a strain. It typically happens when a muscle is overstretched or used too forcefully, leading to pain, swelling, and sometimes limited movement in the affected area. Pulls can occur during physical activities like sports or heavy lifting. Treatment usually involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation to reduce swelling and pain, along with gentle stretching and strengthening exercises once the initial pain lessens.

Example

Dopo aver sollevato scatole pesanti, ha sentito un forte strappo nella parte bassa della schiena.

trazione, sollevamento

the phase in weightlifting where the lifter lifts the barbell off the ground, typically transitioning into a higher position such as the clean or snatch

What is a "pull"?

A pull in weightlifting refers to the phase where the lifter lifts the barbell from the ground, typically as part of a movement like the clean or snatch. During this phase, the lifter generates force with their legs and back to raise the bar, often with a quick extension of the hips and knees. This motion sets the bar in motion toward a higher position, such as the shoulders in a clean or overhead in a snatch. Proper technique in the pull is crucial for the success of the entire lift, as it sets up the lifter for the next phase of the movement.

Example

She practiced her pulls repeatedly to refine her technique.

She struggled with the initial pull but managed to complete the lift successfully.

lancio iniziale, servizio iniziale

the initial throw to start a game or point in ultimate frisbee

What is a "pull"?

A pull in ultimate frisbee is the initial throw made to start a game or a point. At the beginning of each point, one team throws the disc from their end zone toward the opposing team, who attempts to catch it and start their offensive play. The pull is similar to a kickoff in football and sets the pace for the game. It is important for the throw to be accurate and well-placed, as it can give the throwing team a good defensive position if the opposing team struggles to control the disc.

Example

She aimed for maximum distance with her pull.

They practiced their pulls for hours to perfect their technique.
