Development of vestibular stability in young taekwondo does with the help of "Freestyle-phumseh" discipline exercises

Relevance. The development of motor capabilities, the formation and improvement of mechanisms aimed at maintaining optimal body position in space, is possible with the introduction of new means and methods into the training process to improve vestibular stability and coordination of athletes. A significant increase in the ability to maintain balance in children aged 8-10years is associated with the targeted influence of appropriate means and methods of sports training. Integrating complex coordination exercises of the "Freestyle-phumseh" taekwondo discipline into the learning process can help solve motor problems and capabilities of young taekwondo athletes, ensuring increased efficiency of vestibular stability and coordination activity. The purpose of the study was to identify the peculiarities of vestibular stability in children aged 8-10 years using "Freestyle-phumseh" taekwondo exercises at the initial stage of the training process. Research methodology. We studied 35 taekwondo players aged 8-10 years, training according to the standard taekwondo program and using exercises of the "Freestyle-phumseh" discipline. At the stages of the study, the ability to maintain general static and general and special dynamic balance was tested. The research results were processed using the Statistica 10.0 program. Quantitative characteristics were described using medians and interquartile intervals. Statistical significance was set at P Conclusion. The formation of vestibular stability in young taekwondo athletes at the initial stage of the training process most effectively occurred when using exercises of the taekwondo discipline "Freestyle-phumseh".
