Abstract

To identify the gender-specific influence of dominant laterality of motor abilities on taekwondo techniques performed to the right and left body side, thirty-nine male and eighteen female taekwondoists (age range 10±2 years) underwent two testing sessions to evaluate ambidexterity: (1) motor abilities measured on the left and the right body side; (2) quality of performance of taekwondo leg technique (front kick and roundhouse kick) measured on the right and the left body side. The results of t-test indicated gender differences in the taekwondo technique acquisition and flexibility and defined the body asymmetry differences in motor abilities assessed by the variables grip strength, frequency of alternate leg movements and alternate hand movements (p<br />Radi utvrđivanja spolnih razlika u lateralnoj motoričkoj dominaciji te njihova utjecaja na uspješnost izvođenja nožnih tehnika u taekwondou, provedeno je istraživanje na uzorku od trideset devet djevojčica i osamnaest dječaka, u dobi od 10±2 godine. Mjerenja su u svrhu procjene lateralne motoričke dominacije provedena u dvije etape: (1) mjerenje motoričkih sposobnosti na obje strane tijela; (2) procjena razine izvođenja nožnih tehnika u taekwondou (prednjeg i kružnog udarca) u lijevu i desnu stranu. Prema rezultatima t-testa, postoje značajne razlike po spolu u uspješnosti usvajanja prednjeg i kružnog udarca lijevom i desnom nogom i u fleksibilnosti, a utvrđene su i značajne razlike u motoričkim sposobnostima lijeve i desne strane tijela procijenjene varijablama jakost hvata maksimalne snage i frekvencije pokreta ruku i nogu (p
