TESTING AND EVALUATION OF LOWER LIMB STRENGTH IN KUNG FU ATHLETES
ABSTRACT Introduction “Popularization and improvement” has been a solid guideline for developing kung fu in China for decades. Objective Test and evaluate the lower limb strength in juvenile kung fu athletes. Methods 10 young volunteer athletes were selected, including six males and four females. A three-dimensional dynamometer and a multifunctional jumping system measure the F-T curves of different bounces. Explosive force, reaction force, and proprioceptive capacity of the lower limbs were evaluated, measured, and statistically treated. Results In the experiment, the athletes in the experimental and control groups showed no increase in muscle volume or lower limb circumference, and there were no significant changes in other body lengths and thicknesses (P > 0.05). However, the relative peak power of the experimental group and the control group showed statistically remarkable differences (P < 0.05). Conclusion Young kung fu athletes should pay attention to the combination of strength and proprioception training while performing dedicated and technical training. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
