Competition Techniques Training in Terms of Various Variables

Authors

Abstract

This study aims to examine whether the techniques used by star athletes between the ages of 11-14 during the competition differ in terms of various variables. In the study, a total of 84-star athletes, 38 female and 46 males, who competed in Taekwondo Anatolian Stars League Championship group competitions, in which athletes from different provinces participated, were examined. Match analyzes of a total of 6 groups, including (37, 44, +59 kg) women and (41, 45, +65 kg) men from the weights of the athletes who competed in the competition. After the competitions held here were filmed with the help of a camera and examined one by one, data such as which techniques they used, the penalties they received were examined by the researcher and recorded in the match analysis form. In obtaining the data, the 'Taekwondo Match Analysis' form developed by Mavi Var et al. (2015) was used and it was determined which techniques were concentrated on by looking at the differences between gender and weight. The homogeneity and variances of the data obtained in the study were tested, and since the distribution of female and male athletes did not meet the normality assumption, Mann-Whitney U test was used to test the difference between two independent samples from non-parametric tests. The Kruskal-Wallis H Test was used to test whether there was a difference between the weights between men and women. As a result, there was no statistically significant difference between gender and weight classes of female athletes, while there was no statistically significant difference between weight classes of male athletes in terms of technique scored and match score values. When the scored technique values were analyzed, it was determined that the values of 45 kg athletes were higher than the values of 41 kg male athletes and the values of 65 kg and above male athletes and this change was statistically significant.
