Farklı Taekwondo Tekniklerinin Performansında Motorik Özelliklerin Belirleyici Rolü: Adölesan Elit Sporcular Üzerine Bir İnceleme

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, taekwondo sporcularında biomotor performans değişkenlerinin farklı tekme tekniklerindeki kuvvet üretimi üzerindeki yordayıcı rolünü incelemektir. Araştırma, nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden kesitsel gözlemsel model kullanılarak yürütülmüş ve çalışmaya 82 taekwondo sporcusu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Çalışmada sıçrama performansı, sprint hızı, çeviklik, esneklik, denge ve kuvvet ile ilişkili biomotor değişkenler değerlendirilmiştir. Tekme performansı, paldingchagi, tollyochagi ve dwitchagi tekniklerine ait sağ ve sol bacak kuvvet değerleri üzerinden analiz edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde Pearson korelasyon ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizleri uygulanmıştır. Bulgular, çeviklik ve denge performansının paldingchagi ve tollyochagi tekme kuvvetleri ile anlamlı ilişkiler gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre, pro-agility çeviklik süresi paldingchagi sol bacak kuvvetinin anlamlı bir yordayıcısı olarak belirlenmiş, denge performansının ise tollyochagi sağ ve sol bacak kuvvetlerini anlamlı düzeyde yordadığı saptanmıştır. Buna karşın, dwitchagi tekniğinde incelenen biomotor değişkenlerden hiçbiri anlamlı bir yordayıcı olarak bulunmamıştır. Sonuç olarak, taekwondo tekme performansının tekniklere özgü fiziksel ve koordinatif gereksinimler içerdiği ve antrenman programlarının tekme tekniklerine göre yapılandırılması gerektiği söylenebilir.

Predictive Role of Biomotor Performance Variables on Kicking Force in Taekwondo Athletes: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive role of biomotor performance variables on kicking force in different taekwondo techniques. A quantitative cross-sectional observational design was used, and 82 taekwondo athletes participated voluntarily. Biomotor variables including jump performance, sprint speed, agility, flexibility, balance, and force-related parameters were assessed. Kicking performance was evaluated using right and left leg force values for paldingchagi, tollyochagi, and dwitchagi techniques. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted. The results indicated that agility and balance were significantly associated with paldingchagi and tollyochagi kicking forces. Regression analysis revealed that pro-agility time was a significant predictor of left paldingchagi force, while balance performance predicted both right and left tollyochagi forces. No biomotor variables significantly predicted dwitchagi kicking force. In conclusion, taekwondo kicking performance appears to be technique-specific, with agility and balance playing a more prominent role in paldingchagi and tollyochagi, whereas dwitchagi may require more technique-specific and coordinative assessments. These findings highlight the importance of tailoring training programs according to the specific demands of each kicking technique.
