| Summary: | <p>It is the main purpose of this study to investigate the kinematics and kinetics effect of</p><p>wearable resistance (WR), when loaded on the lower limb body part during a martial</p><p>arts front kick performance. Fifteen female martial arts athletes aged between 20 to 25</p><p>years old with body mass (BM) between 40kg to 55kg were recruited. Subjects were</p><p>required to perform 3 trials for each condition : Unloaded (UL), Calf Loaded (CL) 3%</p><p>BM and Calf &Thigh Loaded (CTL) 3% BM in a randomized order that made up total</p><p>9 trials. Kicking velocity, kicking force and kicking power were collected and used to</p><p>assess the kinematic and kinetics of kicking executions using Kinovea 2D motion</p><p>analysis software. Data was statistically analyzed to produce mechanical profiles of</p><p>the front kick, and comparisons of the outputs was made. Repeated measure one-way</p><p>Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test and paired sample t-test were used. Overall the</p><p>results showed no significant differences within 3 WR conditions. Besides, the results</p><p>also showed no significant different when comparing between kicking velocity,</p><p>kicking force and kicking power for all three WR conditions. Nevertheless all three</p><p>kinematics and kinetics variables indicated using WR 3% BM CL and 3 % BM CTL</p><p>condition greater than UL condition when compared from the mean. Evidently,</p><p>loading 3% BM in our study improved the front kick kinematics and kinetics from the</p><p>mean results but its still insufficient load to observe the improvement. In summary,</p><p>researcher suggested that, both loaded condition more than 3% BM might be</p><p>sufficient and also effective for improving the front kick performance as well as future</p><p>study should included the element of impulse-momentum to ensure the result can be</p><p>more applicable to the competitive combat sports.</p> |
