AB  - In order to understand the complexity of punches, measurement under realistic conditions in a training environment is necessary. A crucial element to achieving valid results is a reliable instrument. The aim of the study was to evaluate the metrical characteristics and reliability of kinematic sensors (KS) in specific karate testing as a novel method in the training process. Fourteen male competitors, members of a Serbian national senior and cadet karate team, participated in the study. Segmental acceleration in the different modalities of reverse punch (Gyako tsuki) were measured using KS placed on the hand and body. In relation to the qualitative criterion of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) significance, good reliability (ICC = 0.75–0.90) was observed for eight kinematic variables, while excellent reliability (ICC > 0.90) was confirmed for ten kinematic variables. KS can be considered sophisticated measuring tools providing a reliable base of information for the objectification of assessment as the primary approach to top-level athletes.

AB  - To achieve good performance, athletes need to synchronize a series of movements in an optimal manner. One of the indicators used to monitor this is the order of occurrence of relevant events in the movement timeline. However, monitoring of this characteristic of rapid movement is practically limited to the laboratory settings, in which motion tracking systems can be used to acquire relevant data. Our motivation is to implement a simple-to-use and robust IMU-based solution suitable for everyday praxis. In this way, repetitive execution of technique can be constantly monitored. This provides augmented feedback to coaches and athletes and is relevant in the context of prevention of stabilization of errors, as well as monitoring for the effects of fatigue. In this research, acceleration and rotational speed signal acquired from a pair of IMUs (Inertial Measurement Unit) is used for detection of the time of occurrence of events. The research included 165 individual strikes performed by 14 elite and national-level karate competitors. All strikes were classified as slow, average, or fast based on the achieved maximal velocity of the hand. A Kruskal-Wallis test revealed significant general differences in the order of occurrence of hand acceleration start, maximal hand velocity, maximal body velocity, maximal hand acceleration, maximal body acceleration, and vertical movement onset between the groups. Partial differences were determined using a Mann-Whitney test. This paper determines the differences in the temporal structure of the reverse punch in relation to the achieved maximal velocity of the hand as a performance indicator. Detecting the time of occurrence of events using IMUs is a new method for measuring motion synchronization that provides a new insight into the coordination of articulated human movements. Such application of IMU can provide additional information about the studied structure of rapid discrete movements in various sporting activities that are otherwise imperceptible to human senses.

AB  - Compared to adults, children have longer simple reaction time
(SRT) and choice reaction time (CRT) to simple and choice visual
stimuli. Based on the available data, it can be concluded that this
occurrence could be due to correlation between age and the
information processing speed. Other factors may have an impact,
too, such as the shorter attention span which children may have.
Some studies indicate that karate favors the development of
cognitive functions, including the RT. Therefore, the aim of the
current study was to determine whether there is a difference
in simple and choice reaction time between boys and girls of
preadolescent and early adolescent age on the basic and premastery
level of karate training. Testing involved 78 participants
divided into four subgroups, in accordance with the gender and
the level of training, using a custom designed RT measuring
software, developed in LabVIEW 2012 software package. A
two-way analysis of variance (Two-way ANOVA) confirmed
no differences between boys’ and girls’ SRT scores, while the
significant differences were found at the mastery criterion
subsample level. When it comes to CRT, the differences were
found at the boys’ subsample level, as well as between genders
on the basic level of training. It cannot be stated with absolute
certainty whether the acquired differences are the result of karate
training, some other physiological and cognitive phenomena or
the maturation process. Consequently, the futher research should
involve a broader sample – the population of the physically
inactive, as well as the children involved in other sports.
AB  - U poređenju sa odraslima, deca imaju sporije prosto (PVR) i izborno (IVR) vreme reakcije (VR) na prostu i izbornu vizuelnu draž. Na osnovu podataka iz dostupne literature, može se zaključiti da bi razlog mogla biti povezanost godina starosti sa brzinom obrade informacija, ali i da drugi faktori, poput slabije pažnje, na primer, mogu imati uticaja. Neka istraživanja pokazuju da karate favorizuje razvoj kognitivnih funkcija, uključujući i VR. Stoga je cilj ove studije bio da utvrdi da li između dečaka i devojčica preadolescentskog i ranog adolescentskog uzrasta, na učeničkom i predmajstorskom stepenu obuke u karateu, postoje razlike za prosto i izborno vreme reakcije. Testirano je 78 ispitanika podeljenih u četiri subgrupe, u odnosu na pol i stepen obučenosti, primenom posebno dizajniranog softvera za merenje VR, razvijenog u programskom paketu LabVIEW 2012. Dvofaktorskom analizom varijanse (Two-way ANOVA) utvrđeno je da nema razlika između rezultata dečaka i devojčica ostvarenih za PVR, ali da su one značajne na nivou subuzoraka po kriterijumu majstorstva. Kada je u pitanju IVR, razlike su utvrđene na nivou subuzorka dečaka, kao i između polova na učeničkom nivou obuke. Ne može se sa sigurnošću tvrditi da li su dobijene razlike posledica treninga ili nekih drugih fiziološko-kognitivnih fenomena, odnosno procesa sazrevanja. Stoga bi buduća istraživanja morala da obuhvate širi uzorak - populaciju neaktivne, kao i dece uključene u druge sportove.
