Research on Exercises to Improve the Physical Strength of Male Athletes on High School Karate-do Teams

Abstract

The present study suggests suitable physical exercises for male athletes on high school karate-do teams to im- prove their physical strength. Coaches can use these exercises and related training methods for karate-do athletes in high schools in Vietnam. As a result of six months of training with these exercises, the professional achieve- ments of athletes in all tests have made good progress. In particular, the test of alternately straight punching in kiba-dachi in 10 seconds results in the highest growth rate of w = 20.23%, while the outcome of the test of repeatedly jerking hands in 30 seconds is the lowest at w = 11.01%.
