Plyometric Standing Jumps and Box Drills to Improve Momtong Dollyo Chagi Kick in Junior Taekwondo Athletes

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of plyometric and flexibility training methods to improve the momtong dollyo chagi kick technique in taekwondo athletes. The effect of training programs that combine physical conditions specifically has no results stating that they are interrelated to improve taekwondo kick techniques. The research method used is experimental treatment by level 2 x 2. The results of this study: firstly, there are differences in the leg power of momtong dollyo chagi kicks for taekwondo athletes in the plyometric standing jump and box drill training methods with the results Fo (A) = 12,111 > F-table 4,11. Interaction Fo (AB) = 14,044 > F-table = 4,11 with the percentage effect of plyometric and flexibility exercises of 33.83%. Plyometric standing jump exercise is better for increasing leg power of momtong dollyo chagi kick than box drill exercise for athletes who have high flexibility with t 0 16,496 > t table(0,05:10) 1,688. Box drill exercises are better for increasing the leg power of momtong dollyo chagi kicks than standing jump plyometric exercises for athletes who have low flexibility with a value of t 0 2,455 > t table(0,05:10) 1,688. Thus, it can be concluded that both standing jump plyometric exercises and box drill combined with flexibility can have the effect of increasing leg power, so that the trainer can choose a power and strength training program through plyometric training to prepare for the competition.

Plyometric training for physical education university students

“…Plyometric training produces significant improvements in physical and technical parameters in male players compared to regular handball practice [31]. It is hoped that future research will continue to explore the effects of plyometric training in both sexes at the adolescent stage which could provide more comprehensive guidance for training youth athletes [37] and that strength and conditioning coaches should consider the results of much research regarding this topic w hen designing training programs as the inclusion of plyometric training appears to be especially beneficial for improving performance [38] as these plyometric exercises are known to be effective for developing explosive strength and power in the lower extremities which can be beneficial for athletes in various sport disciplines [39]. These plyometric workouts should be under the supervision of an expert so that they can positively contribute to success [40].…”

“…Another style of martial arts that employs this type of training is Judo where some coaches have used physiological or inertial sensors to evaluate its effect on the performance of the practitioners [38]. A similar case is that of taekwondo athletes [39] who use it to develop great kicking strength [40]. It should be noted that several investigations show improvements in physical performance due to plyometric training but a more exhaustive analysis of its impact on technical skills in sports is needed [41], its impact on the psychological well-being of athletes has yet to be explored [42] and there is little information on the ideal rest time in order to improve physical condition [43].…”

The Effect of Squat Jump and Box Drill Exercises on Increasing Leg Power in Male Taekwondo Athlete ATIA Lanal Lampung

“…Lower the body and then jump into the air, once in the air, change the position of the feet so that the hind legs are now in front and vice versa, land on the toes, then transfer the weight back to the last heel, immediately bend the knees to reduce danger (Grigore et al, 2020). According to (Susianti, 2016) Box drill is an exercise that uses several boxes with an exercise method done with various movements where the size and height of the box can be adjusted. Box drill drills are exercises that increase explosive power, but this exercise emphasizes the height of jumps (Rudiansyah et al, 2014).…”
