Postural stability assessment in elite taekwondo athletes: comparative study between different age group
The main aim of this study was to characterize the postural stability profile of elite Croatian male and female Taekwondo athletes. The second aim was to compare the postural stability in frontal and sagittal plane in Taekwondo athletes of different age groups. The sample was composed of three groups of Taekwondo athletes. First group included seniors (20.3±2.26), the second-juniors (16.6±0.63) and the third group was composed of cadets (14.625±0.73). The following stability parameters were used in the research: Range center of force X (RCX) ; Range center of force Y (RCY) ; Force (Force) ; Area of sway (ASWAY) ; Sway distance (SWAY) ; Speed of sway (SSWAY). Based on the discriminant analysis, all variables significantly contribute to the difference between the groups. We found that the seniors significantly differ from the cadets in all parameters, and the difference is in favour of seniors (p≤0.05). Seniors and juniors are not differ in any parameter, juniors and cadets are differ in all parameters. To conclude, postural stability parameters were higher in the senior compared junior and cadet group. The findings depend on trainee age (senior>cadets) and may be of important for the selection, training design and health care of Taekwondo athletes.
