SOME FEATURES OF INCREASING SPECIAL FLEXIBILITY IN TAEKWONDO

Abstract

The training of highly qualified athletes cannot be without the introduction and research of new forms of increasing the effectiveness of the training process, training athletes, which in turn affects the result of competitive activity. The purpose of the study was to identify the effect of the articular range on dynamic flexibility and myofascial activation in taekwondo athletes. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 29 athletes, the average age of 22 years old, whose weight averaged 66 kg, all are members of the Taekwondo team Unidades tecnológicas de Santander (Colombia). Research methods: analysis and generalization of literature, pedagogical observation, pedagogical experiment, physiological methods, methods of mathematical statistics. The BASELINE® CE DIGIT goniometer, BORG table and ACCUSPORT lactatometer were used to assess the level of flexibility. The results show that after a study in two groups, the best range of joint mobility is determined by the work of myofascial activity, which allows it to increase to an average angle of 164.54 °, while dynamic activity increased in the range to an angle of 159.58 °. It should be noted that the base average value of joint mobility for the two groups was 145.00º. Statistical significance was at P≤ 0.05. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using the SPSS version 2.0 software. Glossary: Taekwondo, physical fitness, flexibility, joint mobility, myofascial activity in sports, articular range of motion (ARM).
