“…Meanwhile, the contribution to balance only shows a result of 23.5% and regression testing also shows that there is no influence on the kizami-gyaku zuki punch. Until now, the contribution of balance to technical ability in combat sport punches has not yet been found, but there are studies that explain that balance can influence lower limbs strength, of course it can influence stances (dachi) or kicks in karate (Oktavian et al, 2022); (Ölmez & Akcan, 2023).…”

The purpose of this research is to analyze the contribution of coordination, balance, flexibility, arm muscle strength to the kizami-gyaku zuki punch of female athletes. The background to this research is from observations of the qualifying round at the 2023 National Sports Week (PON), on average female athletes earn points from punches. This research is an analytical survey to test the contribution of the independent variables. The sample was 50 female athletes with characteristics namely age 19.8±1.2 years, training experience 8.3±0.6 years, weight 50±1.5 kg, height 160.4±1.5 cm. The tests carried out included coordination using the Hand-Wall Toss Test, balance using the Modified Bass Test of Dynamic Balance, flexibility using the sit and reach test, arm muscle strength using push up for 1 minute, kizami-gyaku zuki punches using a punching bag during 30 seconds. The results of this research show that coordination, flexibility, and arm muscle strength have an effect on kizami-gyaku zuki punches. However, balance has no effect on the kizami-gyaku zuki punches. Adjusted R Square results, the contribution from coordination (r = 0.341) or 34.1%, balance (r = 0.235) or 23.5%, flexibility (r = 0.490) or 49%, arm muscle strength (r = 0.465) or 46.5%, contribution overall against kizami-gyaku zuki punch (r = 0.674) or 67.4%. The conclusion is that it is important for trainers, athletes, and sports karate academics to focus on these four physical components so that the kumite abilities of female athletes can be improved. However, it is important to train in other physical components, such as endurance, technique and tactics and mental. Future research is expected to add variables or update the types of tests used in this research. Article visualizations:<img src="/-counters-/soc/0078/a.php" alt="Hit counter" />

“…The third phase involved the isokinetic measurements, which consisted of consecutive phases of concentric (Con), eccentric (Ecc), and isometric (Iso) contractions. Players were divided into three different groups (5,4, and 4 players, respectively) for each isokinetic phase to mitigate fatigue-related performance losses and enable testing at similar time intervals. The participants visited the laboratory on consecutive days, and the isokinetic tests began as previously recommended (around 16:00 and approximately 3 h after a standard meal) [29].…”

“…Soccer is a sport that demands not only intricate techniques and tactics but also high levels of physical performance [1][2][3]. Strength and power serve as crucial benchmarks for assessing physical performance [4]. Isokinetic dynamometers are widely recognized as the gold standard for measuring both strength and power [5][6][7], making them a common choice in clinical research, particularly in studies related to various health-related injuries and conditions [8,9].…”

The shot performance of female soccer players is one of the most critical factors in winning a soccer match. It is essential to thoroughly clarify the kinetic factors that can improve shot performance. This study explores the connections between ball velocity post-shooting and isokinetic knee extension (EXT) and flexion (FLX) strength performances among female soccer players. Thirteen voluntary players from professional leagues took part in the research study. The study analyzed the average and peak concentric (Con) and eccentric (Ecc) torques, isometric (Iso) strength performances at angular velocities of 60°/s, 180°/s and 300°/s, the time required to reach peak torque, and ball velocities during shooting. The relationships among these variables were investigated separately for the dominant (D) and non-dominant (ND) legs. The analysis unveiled significant correlations between ball velocities and D-EXT (Absolute) peak torque at an angular velocity of 60°/s (r = 0.597; p < 0.05), D-%IPS (r = −0.580; p < 0.05), and ND-FLX (Absolute) average torque (r = 0.559; p < 0.05). Moreover, notable associations were observed between ball velocities and ND-EXT (Absolute) (r = 0.581; p < 0.05), as well as ND-FLX (Absolute) (r = 0.602; p < 0.05) average torques at an angular velocity of 180°/s. Additionally, significant relationships were found between ball velocities and peak (r = 0.664; p = 0.013) and average (r = 0.660; p = 0.014) torques generated during ND-EXT (Absolute) at an angular velocity of 300°/s. However, the connections between the time to reach peak torque, eccentric and isometric forces, and ball velocities were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The results of the study indicate that enhancing concentric isokinetic strength development at 60°/s, 180°/s, and 300°/s angular velocities, along with balanced strengthening of the ND extremity, holds paramount importance in elevating shot performance among female soccer players, particularly in the context of rapid shot strategies.
