Abstract - Diagnostics of selected motor skills of Oyama Karate competitors preparing for the championships
Aim. The aim of the study was to evaluate the changes in selected parameters of motor preparation of Oyama Karate athletes in training before championship competitions. The research involved ten male athletes at the Oyama Rzeszow Sports Club (aged 22.9 ± 12.3, training period 17.6 ± 8.5 years).
Method. The anaerobic endurance (90-second test with a punching bag) and aerobic endurance (20 MSRT) and speed (circular kick, hip twist, two straight strikes) and jumping ability (squat jump-SJ and countermovement jump-CMJ) were tested.
Results. The tests were carried out during the preparatory period and during the pre-competition period.
Conclusion. The analysis shows that in all subsequent experimental studies an improvement or stabilisation of most of the analysed motor preparation parameters has been noted.
