Abstract

The aims of the current study were first, to evaluate whether there were differences in the front kicking kinematics executed by professional Taekwondo and Karate athletics. Second, biomechanical evaluations aimed to determine the kinematic variables of effective front kicking performance between different training strategies. Sixteen elite Taekwondo and fourteen Karate athletics performed front kick. Kinematics and kinetics were recorded using a ten high-speed camera and two force plates. Taekwondo and karate groups present significant kinematic and repeatability differences, which significant differences observed in the range of motion, angular velocity, and peak values of lower limb angular positions and velocities. Although, the movement pattern of a front kick in group was similar. Based on our results, different training strategies for one movement (front kick) can change neuromuscular, motor control, and kicking efficacy. Analyzing this kind of research and comparison between two different groups that executes the same action with two different learning methods can improve the knowledge of athletics and coaches to better performance in training and learning strategies. In addition, this type of study of training strategy and motor control can reduce sports mistakes in coaching, particularly in the primary period of athletics training, and decrease injury probability.
