Application of a strength program using indirect methods, developing the height of the center of gravity and explosive strength in Taekwondo

Abstract

technique, applying Hoeger's indirect method for determining RM, with the aim of developing a higher center of gravity (CG). The work is based on training theories, particularly those related to the development of explosiveness. This research allows for the application of strength training processes aimed at the technical execution of breaking with a jump in Taekwondo. In this short space, the results of this work will be taken into account, presenting the training plan used and its possible results. This research is a guide for different coaches in the country, especially those who wish to participate with their trainees in breaking techniques, particularly jump kicks, using strength training in the gym and plyometrics. The training plan for the technique studied is based on different authors, applying an integrated macrocycle of 16 microcycles, which emphasizes gym work and resistance to rapid strength combined with plyometric work. Through kinematic analysis, the center of gravity is taken as a reference variable due to its importance in achieving greater height of execution. Significant progress was achieved by comparing the initial test with the subsequent test, with gradual increases in strength, especially in the lower limbs.
