Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out whether improvement was achieved by applying a kettlebell training program to improve the fundamental physical strength, lumbar muscle strength, and muscle power of judo athletes. The purpose of this study is to find out how the muscle activity that appears during kettlebell swings changes after training. Body composition (height, weight, body fat percentage) and physical strength (muscle endurance, flexibility, muscle strength, psoas, psoas power) were measured to measure primary and professional physical strength. After attaching the electromyography sensor, about ten kettlebell swings were performed continuously, and kettlebells weighing 12 kg and 16 kg were used. At this time, the kettlebell swing phase was divided into two phases. The first phase of the kettlebell swing was defined as the section from when the kettlebell went down to the front of the collarbone. Phase 2 was defined as the section from the front of the collarbone to the bottom of the kettlebell. As a result of the study, kettlebell training showed an increase in all items in essential physical fitness, but the two athletes showed different patterns in professional fitness and muscle activity. It shows the injury and lack of sufficient rest during training and the need for more extended kettlebell training. It is believed that more reliable training results would have appeared.
