Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
Wearable resistance (WR) is used in sport training with the aim of increasing performance by enabling sport-specific movements to occur with additional loading. Despite of its potential of allowing athletes to move more specific, studies examining WR during kicking in Taekwondo is scarce. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of WR loading on the biomechanics of axe kick. Thirty (N=30) university taekwondo athletes have been recruited as participants in this study. This study requires the participants to undergo the middle axe kick testing with WR loading worn at lower body (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% of body mass) during the execution. High-speed motion capture system was used to analyse kinematic data (kicking velocity, kicking time, kicking height, hip angle and leg displacement). Force plate was used to measure ground reaction force (GRF) while electromyography was used to determine muscle activation (vastus lateralis, rectus abdominis, gastrocnemius medial, gluteus maximus and bicep femoris muscle) during the kick. Results showed there was a significant change in kicking kinematics (kicking time was longer, decrease in kicking velocity, the kicking became shorter, hip angle and leg displacement decrease) as the WR load increased. There was a significant increase of GRF on the supporting leg as WR loads attached increased. All muscle activation also increased with loading but no significant differences found. In conclusion, WR loadings of 5% body mass and higher at lower body affected the biomechanics of the middle axe kick. Although had mechanically affect the movement, future studies are suggested to investigate the chronic effects of these loadings. The implications of this study can be used as a guideline to choose proper WR loading to be used in training.
