Interrelation of coordination abilities in young taekwondo athletes

Relevance. The need to improve coordination abilities in taekwondo is associated with an increase in the requirements for the implementation of motor tasks, the solution of which is determined by the use of innovative means and methods at the initial stage of sports training. Studying the relationship of multidirectional coordination abilities in sports activities allows us to identify the advantage of the integrated impact of exercises on young taekwondo players in order to increase the efficiency of their activities. The purpose of the study was to study the correlation of the manifestation of parameters of general and special coordination abilities in children 9-10 years old who are engaged in taekwondo at the initial stage of the training process. The methodology and organization of the study. Studies of general and special coordination abilities were carried out in the control group (18 people), engaged in the standard taekwondo program, and in the experimental group (17 people), additionally using the taekwondo «phumse freestyle» discipline in the training process. At the stages of the experiment, athletes determined the ability to rearrange movements in a changing situation, maintain static and dynamic equilibrium, orientation in space and differentiation of movement parameters. Correlation analysis of general coordination abilities and special capabilities was carried out using the non-parametric Spearman test (Statistica 10.0 program). Statistical significance was established at P Results. At the stages of the experiment, taekwondo players of the control group, engaged in a generally accepted program, showed a small number of statistically significant average relationships of coordination abilities, not exceeding 0,67. In the experimental group, there was an increase in strong correlations with the manifestation of indicators to 0,74, reflecting the coupled development of general adaptation to rearrangement, dynamic equilibrium and orientation in space to the corresponding special ability when striking.
