DETERMINATION OF THE OPTIMAL PARAMETERS OF AIR KICK WITH A 900° ROTATION
The article considers the methodology for investigating complex coordination activities, with the help of the Kinovea software. The software is in use at the taekwondo competitions (Phymse section) accompanied by music including the mandatory elements of the taekwondo kicking and acrobatics, in combination with the foot blows technique realization. One of the obligatory elements of an arbitrary complex is a kick performed in an unsupported position, with rotation up to a maximum degree, namely a 900°-turn kick. When evaluating a kick, the Kinovea software and the judges' assessment are used to appraise the complexity level of a kick. In the article, the optimal parameters of a back-circular kick, with a turn by 900°, are determined. The obtained results can help practitioners to develop a technique for teaching technical actions of taekwondo carried out in an unsupported position.
