Development of coordination abilities in young 15-16-year-old athletes specializing in kickboxing

this study is devoted to the problem of increasing the effectiveness of the educational and training process in martial arts, using the example of kickboxing, which is solved based on the emphasized development of coordination abilities. While studying the results of scientific research by leading practitioners aimed at improving the effectiveness of the training process in kickboxing, we found no description of effective approaches to the development of coordination abilities in the training process of young men aged 15-16 years. We consider it relevant to develop means and methods of developing coordination abilities adapted for a given age and type of martial arts. Based on an analytical review of scientific, educational, and methodological literature, as well as a generalization of personal coaching experience, a training process was built that made it possible to achieve the predicted results, with the specification of tasks and the selection of appropriate means and methods for developing the coordination abilities of young kickboxers. Based on it, a program of specially selected exercises aimed at improving coordination qualities in kickboxing was developed and experimentally substantiated. The conducted pedagogical research allowed us to establish reliably significant improvements in the studied indicators. The results of the pedagogical research revealed that the targeted selection of specialized tools that consider the specifics of the sport and the age of those involved is a crucial factor in the reliable development of spatial orientation, balance, reproduction of spatial and temporal parameters of movement and sense of rhythm in young kickboxers.
