Summary

This study aimed to assess the effects of an 8-week incremental elastic-resistance kick training program on the roundhouse kick quality and physical performance, in comparison to conventional training methods of youth Taekwondo athletes. A two-group parallel, randomized, quasi-experimental design was used, dividing Participants into experimental (n=11, age: 15.5 ± 1.5 years, stature: 169.5 ± 15.5 cm, body mass: 63.2 ± 26.2 kg; training experience: 7.0 ± 3.0 y) and control group (n=10, age: 14.8 ± 1.2 years, stature: 162.0 ± 14.0 cm, body mass: 53.15 ± 21.4 kg; training experience: 5.5 ± 1.5 y), undergoing tailored Elastic Resistance training alongside their regular Taekwondo regimen. The study measured various performance metrics including Roundhouse Kick velocity, impact scoring, isometric muscle strength, counter movement jump performance, and simple reaction times.
