Abstract: | This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an 8-week incremental elastic-resistance kick training
program on roundhouse kick performance and physical fitness in youth Taekwondo athletes, compared
to conventional training methods. A two-group parallel, randomized, quasi-experimental design was
employed, dividing participants into an experimental group (n
=
11, age: 15.5 ± 1.6 years, stature:
171.6 ± 9.6 cm, body mass: 59.2 ± 15.0 kg; training experience: 8.3 ± 1.9 y) and a control group (n
=
10,
age: 14.8 ± 1.1 years, stature: 164.0 ± 7.2 cm, body mass: 51.9 ± 12.8 kg; training experience: 7.5 ± 1.3
y). Both groups tailored training regimens integrated with their regular Taekwondo practice. The
study assessed multiple performance metrics, including roundhouse kick average velocity, impact
scoring, isometric muscle strength, countermovement jump performance, and simple reaction
times. The findings indicate that elastic resistance training significantly enhances Roundhouse Kick
average velocity and impact scoring while also improving specific physical fitness attributes. This
study contributes to understanding the role o |
