Research on the biomechanical laterality of athletes' lower limbs during side kick in the competitive Taekwondo.

ABSTRACT: Laterality between lower limbs can affects sports performance when Taekwondo athletes completing kicking movements, and Side Kick (SK) is the one of the most used kicking movements in Taekwondo competitions. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to explore whether there is biomechanical laterality of the dominant side (DS) and non-dominant side (NS) of the lower limbs in competitive Taekwondo athletes during SK movements when effectively scored. Fourteen Taekwondo elite athletes were selected as subjects. The kinematic and kinetic data of the SK performed by subjects were collected using motion capture system and a three-dimensional force platform. The collected data were imported into Visual3D software for inverse kinematic calculations. There are biomechanical indicators with later
