Maximum Deadlift Capacity of Elite Sprinters R…

Abstract

This investigation quantifies elite sprinters' maximal deadlift capacity, showing that elite cohorts lift up to three times their body weight and underscoring the role of lower-body strength in sprint performance (Schiemann et al., 2024). This association holds across athletic populations, substantiating its contribution to explosive power (Conan & DeBeliso, 2020). Maximal lower-extremity strength enhances jumping and sprint performance in team sports (Warneke et al., 2022).

How it works

From draft to verified citations in three steps

01

01

Drop in your draft

Paste a section, upload your .docx, or work directly in Jenni's editor. Claim Confidence reads each in-text citation and finds the source it points to.

02

02

Run the review

Jenni cross-references each citation against its source — verifying claims against your library plus CrossRef, PubMed, and OpenAlex. Verdicts in under a minute.

03

03

Edit and re-verify

Each flagged claim shows you the exact passage from the source and a suggested rewrite. Accept, edit, or dismiss, then re-run the review to confirm the fix.

Six ways your citations can fail — and how Jenni catches them

Claim Confidence verifies every cited claim against its source and sorts issues into six categories — so you know exactly what kind of fix is needed.

Misrepresented

The claim distorts what the cited source actually says.

EXAMPLE

"Smith (2022) demonstrated that GPT-4 outperforms human teachers" — when Smith only measured grading speed, not teaching quality.

Contradicted

The cited source argues the opposite of the claim.

EXAMPLE

"Continuous fasting accelerates cellular repair (Lin et al., 2023)" — but Lin's findings show repair plateaus after 72 hours.

Unsupported

The cited source doesn't address the claim at all.

EXAMPLE

"CRISPR-Cas9 has been ethically endorsed by the WHO (Doudna, 2020)" — Doudna discusses mechanism, not WHO policy.

Weakly supported

Evidence in the source is thin or limited in scope.

EXAMPLE

"Resistance training improves cognition across populations (Conan, 2020)" — Conan studied only collegiate athletes.

Overstated

The claim goes further than the source warrants.

EXAMPLE

"LLM tutors significantly improve student outcomes (Park, 2024)" — Park reports a small effect on one task.

Unverifiable

The cited source can't be located or accessed.

EXAMPLE

"(Nakamura et al., 2019)" — DOI doesn't resolve, and no record exists in any indexed database.

WHY IT WORKS

WHY IT WORKS

Built for substance, not just metadata

Other AI citation tools either fabricate references or just format them. Claim Confidence verifies every claim against the source it cites.

Reads the full source

Other AI citation checkers verify metadata — does the paper exist, is the DOI valid, is the author real. Claim Confidence reads the full text of every cited source, so verdicts come from what the paper actually says.

Six verdicts, not pass/fail

A binary "verified" stamp doesn't tell you how to fix a problem. Six categories pinpoint exactly what kind of edit each claim needs.

Suggested rewrites grounded in the source

When a claim falls short, Claim Confidence surfaces the actual passage from the cited source and proposes a rewrite that fits what the source supports.
