SPORT TALENT AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE WITH ZYBEK SPORTS IN ELITE AMERICAN TAEKWONDO ATHLETES
Keywords:
Sports talent, Athletic performance, TaekwondoAbstract
Taekwondo demands agile movements, efficient changes of direction, as well as leg power and explosiveness to execute techniques quickly and precisely. Objective: To determine the relationship between athletic performance in Zybek sport tests and sports talent in elite American taekwondo practitioners. Materials and Methods: A quantitative research with a descriptive and correlational approach, quasi-experimental in nature, and cross-sectional design, conducted on a sample of (n=470) taekwondo practitioners. Results: The findings revealed a statistically significant inversely proportional relationship between the 40-yard sprint test and sports talent (-0.089, p=0.054). Additionally, the performance values in various tests among elite taekwondo athletes were as follows: 10-yard dash (1.89±0.16), 20-yard dash (3.21, P25=3.03; P75=3.42), 40-yard dash (5.96, P25=5.53; P75=6.30), pro agility (5.19±0.37), vertical jump (20.70, P25=17.2; P75=25.60), horizontal jump (79.00, P25=72.00; P75=88.00), and sports talent (8.0, P25=4.00; P75=18.00). Conclusions: The results indicated that only the 40-yard sprint variable showed a significant relationship with sports talent. A higher ranking in taekwondo was associated with better performance in the 40-yard sprint, suggesting that those closer to the top position exhibited superior proficiency in this specific area. This finding suggests that speed and agility are key skills linked to success in the taekwondo ranking.
