COMPARISON OF THE EFFECTS OF HIGH LEVEL TECHNICAL STRIKES OF TAEKWONDO ATHLETES ON THE ELECTRONIC HEAD GEAR BEFORE AND AFTER TRAINING

Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the change in taekwondo athletes’ performance as a result of the training with electronic head gears in order to develop their high level technical skills. The research sample consisted of 30 licensed male taekwondo athletes who were in the age range of 10-13 years and trained in a private gym. Four high-level strike techniques were identified for the development of their technical skills, and they were applied an eight-week taekwondo training program including two hours of practice per day three days a week. IBM SPSS 21.0 software was used to analyze the research data. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the distributions of the data. Pearson’s correlation analysis was used to examine inter-variable relations, and ANOVA post-hoc Tukey analysis was used to determine the differences between the research groups. The results were presented as means X and standard deviations SS . The p values of less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. A significant difference between the groups was determined in the final test measurements, but no statistically significant difference was found in the first test. The practice with electronic head gears system was found to have a positive effect on the performance of athletes who performed the technical strikes in the training program.
