Abstract

Background and Study Aim: Strength training is often considered a key element in preparing athletes for combat sports, as it allows them to increase their power capabilities and, through the interaction of motor skills, affects endurance and speed. The aim of our work is knowledge about the level of strength of the upper and lower limbs of kickboxing competitors fighting in the K1 formula and relationship this indicators with the level of technical and tactical preparations.

Material and Methods: The study was conducted on a group of 15 high-level kickboxing athletes who regularly participate in K1 competitions. In the study, the level of isometric strength of the extensors and flexors of the upper and lower limbs (elbow and knee joints, respectively) of the left and right sides was measured. For this purpose, the BTE Primus RS system was used for objective evaluation and functional training (BTE USA, New Hampshire), which in this case served as a dynamometer.

Results: A statistically significant positive relationship was found between the effectiveness and efficiency index of the attack and the strength of the extensors and flexors of the lower right limb (p<0.001).

Conclusions: The level of strength of the lower limbs has a statistically significant effect on the indicators of technical and tactical training.


Key words: isometric strength, motor skills, speed, explosive strength, endurance, combat sports, attack effectiveness, attack activity
