Speed, Agility, and Quickness (SAQ) training of the circuit system: How does it affect kick speed and agility of junior taekwondo athletes?

Abstract

The study is conducted based on a trainer's difficulty in improving the speed of kicks and agility of taekwondo junior athletes. This condition is a consideration for trainers to develop a proper and measurable cirquit SAQ training program to improve kick speed and agility for taekwondo novice athletes. This study aims to find out the effect of SAQ cirquit exercises with kick speed and agility. The research method used is an experimental method with equivalent time series design research design. The research is conducted for 6 weeks with a frequency of 1 week 3 exercises and consists of 3 series. Every 4 weeks it is done postest with design; (1) pre-test-treatment-portest stage 1, and (2) pre test-postest-postest stage 2. Data analysis technique uses t test with significance level 0.05. The results conclude that; (1) there is a significant influence between cirquit SAQ exercises on the kick speed of taekwondo junior athletes. (2) there is a significant influence between cirquit SAQ exercises on the agility of taekwondo junior athletes. From the results of this study, researchers expect that there will be recommendations to be used as further considerations for the future so that this study is more in-depth related to SAQ exercises, and hopefully this study can be a reference material for other researchers who want to research about the influence of SAQ exercises.

Improving leg power and Dolyo Chagi kick speed in Taekwondo using plyometric, SAQ, and circuit training methods

“…In relation to kick techniques in martial arts, the SAQ training method can improve the results of side kicks in pencak silat athletes (Daulay et al, 2016), besides that it can also increase the speed of right and left front kicks (As'ad & Adi, 2021). Specifically in the sport of taekwondo, the SAQ training method has a very significant positive effect on the speed of kicks and the agility of junior taekwondo athletes (Akhmad et al, 2021). When compared with the results of this study, it can be said that it is relevant to this research.…”

Physical Training Intervention on the Functional Status of Taekwondo Athletes

“…t i represents a vector that measures risk factors for athletes. We use formula (5) to calculate the probability function of each athlete's risk factor value…”

“…Condition λ 1 ≥ (0,1), the athlete's risk factor is high risk. 5 For conditions λ 2 ≤ (0,1), the athlete's risk factor is low risk. The athlete's risk factor is a moderate risk for infection λ 3 ≠ (0,1).…”

Systematic Training in Traditional Martial Arts Choreography in College

“…Athletes need to strengthen their physical fitness to achieve a good level of competition. 8 The coaches should closely cooperate with the physical requirements of the martial arts routine competition and make overall arrangements for the training content, intensity, and density.…”
