Comparison of Leg, Back and Claw Strength Values of Elite Taekwondo, Athletes and Hawkey Players

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this research was to compare the leg, back, and claw strength values of elite taekwondo players, athletes, and field hawkey players. Method: While the universe of the research consists of elite taekwondo players, athletes, and field hawkey players in Turkey, the sample consists of 94 elite athletes, including 16 male and 16 female elite taekwondo players, 16 male and 14 female field hawkey players, and 12 male and 20 female athletes. While the athletes' leg and back strength were measured using a Leg-Back Dynamometer, claw strength was measured using a Hand Dynamometer. Results: According to the data obtained, a significant difference was determined in the leg strength, back strength and claw strength values of the elite female athletes participating in the research according to their branches (p<0.05). In these determined differences; It was determined that taekwondo players have higher values Conclusion: Consequently; leg, back and claw strength values of female elite taekwondo players from elite female athletes and field hawkey players; It can be said that the leg and back strength values of elite male athletes and field hawkey players may be higher than elite male taekwondo players.
