The purposes
of this study were to determine the influence of a jumping training protocol,
using the weighted rope, on lower extremity visual and auditory reaction time
performance in adolescent taekwondo (TKD) athletes. Twenty-two elite taekwondo
athletes were randomly divided into two groups: the weigthed rope-trained (WRT)
group (n = 11) and the control group (n = 11). Subjects in WRT group had
jumping training 3 times a week for 12 weeks in addition to the routine
taekwondo training program. The control group had no any training protocol in
addition to the routine taekwondo training program. The visual and auditory
reaction time performances of the subjects, both dominant and non-dominant legs
were assessed with the Optojump System. The results of Paired Simple T test
showed that the WRT decreased both the visual and the audiotory reaction time
of non-dominant leg from pre to post-training (p=0,00, p=0,01 respectively).
Although the pre-training audiotory and visual reaction times of dominant were
similar between the groups (p>0,05), the post-training visual reaction time
of dominant leg was significantly lower in the WRT group compared to control
group (p=0,01). This study demonstrates that the weighted rope training program
is effective in decreasing the reaction time in dominant and non-dominant leg.
It is suggested that the WRT can be applied as an effective exercise program
for enhancing visual and auditory reaction time performance.
