EFECTO DEL ENTRENAMIENTO DE FUERZA REGULAR EN LA REDUCCIÓN DE LESIONES DEPORTIVAS EN ATLETAS DE KUNG FU

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

As the competitive level of martial arts keeps improving, the requirements for athletes’ skills are also getting more elevated. Against this background, implementing preventive protocols for sports practice injuries is necessary. Regular strength training is a practice that aims to prevent injuries, but the approach in Kung Fu practitioners is still empirical.

Objective:

Explore the effect of regular strength training on Kung Fu athletes’ exercise injury.

Methods:

40 athletes with similar ages and grades are randomly grouped into control and experimental groups. While the control group practiced regular training, strength training lasting 90 minutes was implemented three times a week for five months in the experimental group. Physical test results have been analyzed before and after the experiment.

Results:

After a detailed analysis of the quality and ability data, the indicators are significantly different. Although the athletes in the control group also improved to varying degrees, they are not as good as those in the experimental group.

Conclusion:

Regular strength training has a positive impact on reducing exercise injury in martial arts athletes and helps improve the athletic level of athletes. After much regular strength training, the quality and ability of the athletes were significantly improved. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies - Investigating the result.
