INFLUENCES OF LOWER LIMB STRENGTHENING ON MARTIAL ARTS TEACHING

INFLUÊNCIAS DO FORTALECIMENTO DE MEMBROS INFERIORES NO ENSINO DE ARTES MARCIAIS

INFLUENCIAS DEL FORTALECIMIENTO DE LOS MIEMBROS INFERIORES EN LA ENSEÑANZA DE ARTES MARCIALES

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

One of the focuses of research on martial arts education is how to improve the assistance of martial arts teaching through strength training directed to sports movements. Scientific contributions about the influence of these strengths can underpin athletes’ training.

Objective:

Study the influences of lower limb strength training on the abilities of martial arts students.

Methods:

20 students from a college martial arts class were randomly selected as volunteers for the experiment. They were divided into the experimental group, which performed systematic lower limb strength training according to a specific protocol, and the control group, which performed traditional exercise, and basic physical training in the physical education institute. The experiment lasted eight weeks. The relevant data were analyzed statistically.

Results:

Left unipodal balance ability in the experimental group increased from 43.646s before training to 56.110s, with an increased rate of 22.213%; right unipodal balance ability increased from 43.845s before training to 57.126s, with an increased rate of 23.249%.

Conclusion:

It is recommended to integrate targeted training methods, such as lower limb muscle training, into the martial arts teaching process to improve the physical quality of martial arts athletes due to the benefits observed in their teaching process. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
