IDO MOVEMENT FOR CULTURE

The article is focused on the description of possibilities of kinematic analysis in area of combatives. Many coaches have analysed the movement of athletes based on observation. Observation is not accurate enough for exact analysis because a single observer is not able to see greater details and physical parameters of movement.
Objectives. In the article, we have described the possibilities of kinematic analysis and the possibilities of their transfer to sport and training practices based on long term experiences with the SIMI system and in connection with the running projects at Faculty of Sports Studies.
Material and methods. Kinematic analysis represented by the SIMI system offers a wide scale of possibilities such as comparison in three dimensional space, simulation and modification of input parameters to improve the technique. As an example we have chosen front kick named mae geri, executed by both a man and a woman.
Conclusions. Our analysis was based on exact physical parameters. We have evaluated and compared the technique of each proband, in a high number of physical parameters such as velocity, acceleration, chain of movement during kick and stroke and we have tried to optimize the movement. This possibility has been helping us for a couple of years to determine trends in many sports disciplines and we would like to use it further in combative area.
