Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: Taekwondo athletes' knee flexor and extensor muscle groups reveal the joint's biomechanical characteristics when tested and may suggest a direction for individual strength training in Tae Kwon Do athletes. Objective: Evaluate the impact of muscle strengthening on joint strength in Tae Kwon Do athletes. Methods: The study was conducted through a literature review, experimental test, and logical analysis. Results: The strength of the flexion muscle group in Taekwondo athletes was significantly higher than that of extension. The flexion-extension ratio is high. This characteristic may be related to the athletes' habit of supporting body weight with the left leg and attacking with the right leg. Conclusion: Strength training of the knee flexors is indicated for Tae Kwon Do athletes, balancing the muscular balance by raising the flexor fatigue index close to that of the extensors, improving the strength and endurance of the knee flexor muscles. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
