Effects of 6-Week Dynamic and Static Neuromuscular Training Program on Postural Stability Control of High School Taekwondo Athletes / 대한스포츠의학회지

ABSTRACT

Purpose@#This study aimed to compare a dynamic neuromuscular training program with a static neuromuscular training program for taekwondo players. @*Methods@#This study design was a randomized control trial. Three high school taekwondo teams (taekwondo neuromuscular training [TNT] group, 22; Get Set group, 17; and control group, 24) participated in the study. Get Set group performed a program focused on the static movement, and TNT group performed a program which was modified Get Set to dynamic movement. Control group maintained the existing taekwondo training without any intervention. The intervention group performed 15-minute training three times a week for 6 weeks. Dynamic Postural Stability Index (DPSI) and time-to-boundary test (TTB) tests were performed before and after 6 weeks of training. @*Results@#As a result of DPSI, an interaction effect was observed only in the anterior/posterior stability index of the dominant leg of the TNT and Get Set groups (p＜0.05). However, there was no difference between the TNT and the Get Set groups.As a result of TTB analysis, no statistical effect was observed in all variables of the dominant and non-dominant legs. @*Conclusion@#As a result of conducting 6-week dynamic and static neuromuscular training for taekwondo athletes, the effect of training was found in both the intervention group. However, differences in training effects between groups could not be proved. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly confirm the difference between the two training through long-term follow-up studies.
