EFFECTS OF A SONGAHM TAEKWONDO TOURNAMENT ON VERTICAL JUMP AND TECHNICAL-TACTICAL PERFORMANCE IN ATHLETES OF THE BRAZILIAN NATIONAL TEAM

Journal Title: Human Movement - Year 2016, Vol 17, Issue 3

Abstract

Purpose: this study aimed to verify the effects of a simulated taekwondo tournament on vertical jump and technical-tactical performance in athletes of the Brazilian national team. Methods: 10 male Songahm taekwondo athletes of the Brazilian national team took part in this study. The participants were involved in a simulated tournament in sparring modality, comprising four 2-min fights with different opponents. Before and after each fight, the athletes performed the Sargent Jump Test and were asked to indicate the rate of perceived effort (RPE). In addition, the fights were recorded and some technical-tactical variables were analyzed: number of kicks, effectiveness and technical variety. Analysis of variance for repeated measures with the Bonferroni post hoc test were used with a significance level set at p < 0.05. Results: the main results showed no significant differences in the jump height throughout the fights (p = 0.22, trivial effect). The RPE increased over the fights (p < 0.01, large effect); however, no significant differences were obtained after each fight (p > 0.05, trivial effect). All technical-tactical variables remained unchanged over the fights (p > 0.05, trivial – small effect). Conclusions: there is no effect of simulated taekwondo tournament on vertical jump and technical-tactical performance throughout the fights. The athletes were able to recover the effort perception before each new fight started.
