Abstract

Introduction: Taekwondo is a dynamic form of unarmed self defense and generally focused on kicking techniques, which derived from other martial arts. A sudden kick and turn kicking (dollyeo chagi, bandae dollyeo chagietc.) are part of Taekwondo; Player can turn to speed and power to escape from the competitor kicking. Speed and accuracy are two main factors of movement of Taekwondo2. The term of Proprioception was first described by Sherrington (1906) as a result of his study and practical’s on sensory information achieved by the central neural system through mechanoreceptors located in the ligaments, joint capsule, tendons, muscles, and skin4. Aim of Study: To study the effect of proprioceptive training and resistance training in Taekwondo athletes in the level of their performances & to compare their affects on players trained under both the programs and getting a plan leading to efficacy. Methodology: A total of 30 taekwondo athletes volunteered to participate in this study after having all risk explained to them before the investigation. They were divided randomly into two groups. Proprioceptive training group (group A) and Resistance training group (group B). Result: This chapter deals with the result of data analysis of the pre and post training scores of three outcome measures that is Agility T- test, Quickness test and Acceleration test, within group A and group B and between group A and group B. The scores were analyzed and interpreted to determine effectiveness of Proprioception and Resistance training to improve performance level of taekwondo athletes. Paired t-test was used to analyze and compare pre & post training score within the group A & group B. The Significant level is kept at probability (p<0.05). Unpaired t-test was used to analyze and compare post training score between group A & group B. Conclusion: Our studyconcluded that both Proprioceptive and Resistance trainings are helpful to prevent and minimize injuries and increases the performance level in athletes.
