Eleventh International Conference on Health, Wellness & Society

Abstract

Taekwondo is a discipline of contact between two competitors, because combat is the main form of expression which requires quick movements, good technique in those movements, high speed movements and unipedal supports; these factors are the main reasons of the development of sports injuries in this discipline, especially in the lower extremities, which are the most used because the main movements of this discipline are kicking techniques. Injuries in this discipline tend to be more likely to develop in the leg that represents the unipedal support when it is placed incorrectly and produces a bad distribution of weight on the joints, especially on the knee, which can lead to chronic injuries due to overuse. Kinesiology is a science that studies the movements based on body anatomy, so it is part of the branches to have sports medical care. Using images and kinesiological analysis of the angles of the joints in the lower extremities during the phases of the movement of the Dolly Chagui technique in a test made to a subject with taekwondo black belt, it makes possible to find the mistakes in his technique that let us generate a training protocol that allow to correct the technique and prevent chronic injuries due to poor weight distribution in the contact phases and acute injuries due to counterattack recovery.
