Summary

Strength and proprioception exercises are used to improve the strength and unipodal balance of lower limbs in Taekwondo players. The moments of unipodal support in Taekwondo require a great demand that is necessary to adapt the athlete through the development of strength and proprioception. The main objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness of strength work with elastic bands and balance exercises in increasing strength and unipodal proprioception in taekwondists aged 18 to 30 years. Randomized, single blind clinical study 30 taekwondists will be randomized to the two study groups: experimental (strength training and proprioception) and control (without intervention). The intervention will last 4 weeks, with 2 weekly sessions each session will be approximately 15 minutes each. The study variables will be: unipodal muscle strength (jump test), and lower limb balance (Y-Balance test). The sample distribution will be calculated using a Kolmogorov-Smmirnof analysis. The changes after each evaluation will be analyzed with the t-student test and with an ANOVA of repeated measures the intra and intersubject effect will be observed. The effect size will be calculated using Cohen's formula. After the training period it is intended to obtain improvement in the strength of the lower limbs, as well as an increase in balance during unipodal support during the execution of a movement.

Conditions

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Strength and proprioception exercises	Strength and proprioception exercises will be performed with the athlete in different positions depending on the exercise. There will be 3 series with 30 repetitions and 10-second breaks between sets. Each exercise session will be held for 15 minutes. Theraband® exercises are: unipodal balancing on hard surface with open and closed eyes, unipodal balancing on soft surface, squats, lateral walk, isometric contractions with garter and dynamic leg opening, tiptoe, and eccentric hamstring curl with garter.
