The importance of balance with the prescriptive teaching in kickboxing

Abstract

Problem statement. The problem in kickboxers is that during the execution of a shot (especially in lateral kicks) they have difficulty in keeping the balance in the third phase (reload phase) of the shot as they are focused on hitting the opponent in a position from their guard and their balance. Aim. The goal of the study is to improve balance in a group of kickboxers using two different types of exercises and observe which of the two is more effective. Methods. The sample is made up of 2 groups of 10 people in each group, with an average age of 16 with no experience in kickboxing. The first group was trained following the cognitive approach through varied exercises. The second group, on the other hand, was trained following the cognitive approach through partial exercises. The stork test was performed to underestimate balance and the independent samples t-test was used to underestimate the post-workout difference. Results. The result is statistically significant (p
