Abstract

The research aims to identify the kinematic outputs of the side kick according to the target areas (head, torso, and pelvis) for each of the kata players in karate, and the poomsae players in taekwondo, and then compare between the kata and poomsae players for the skill under research in the target areas, the descriptive approach was used through biomechanical kinetic analysis, and the research sample consisted of 25 kata and poomsae players, their age (15.83 years) and mass index (21.88 kg/m2) at Jazirat Al Ward and Al Hawar Club in Mansoura, the imaging was done with a high-frequency camera at 240 frames/sec and the kinetic analysis was done using the Tracker program, and the best attempt was selected to analyze it and extract some kinematic variables, then arrange and classify the data using the EXCEL 365 program and statistically analyzed it with the SPSS vr25 program.

The most important conclusions were that the kinematic output of the poomsae players in taekwondo in the head region is better than the kinematic output of the kata players in Karate, with a value of (T) 7.64 in favor of the poomsae players, the kinematic output of kata players in the sport of karate in the pelvic area is better than the kinematic output of the poomsae players in taekwondo, as it reached a value (T) of 4.82 in favor of the kata players, and by comparing the kicking speed between the karate and taekwondo players in general, the kicking speed and the
