Sports practice is recommended as a means to attenuate the impact of the aging process. The aim of this study was to identify and analyze the neuromuscular activity and its patterns on active karate practitioners and assess the effects of the aging process. Two groups of black belt male karate practitioners, one with nine practitioners over 50 years old and the other with 21 practitioners aged between 20-30 years old performed the frontal kick mae-geri. Kinematic and electromyographic data of five muscles were collected from the right leg. Results showed two distinct periods of muscular activation in the mae-geri performance, with similar muscles activity patterns between groups. Nevertheless, some differences were found in the muscles’ activity onset and offset, in root mean square and in inter-muscle delay and co-contraction periods. Those differences indicated that aging affects the neuromuscular activity in the mae-geri performance of the oldest karate practitioners. Nevertheless, the results showed that lifelong practice of karate can preserve the quality of the neuromuscular activity in older practitioners when they perform a kick, and this could be associated with benefits to balance control. Key words: Aging, motor control, neuromuscular activity, karate, combat sports, martial arts. 1. Introduction reduction of strength also depends on the decrease in mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA [7], with a After the third decade of life, humans start to reduction of synthesis of muscle proteins [8]. experience an aging-related decline in biological The neurological activity declines with aging, too functions that affect the locomotors’ performance [1], [9, 10]. At this level, changes occur in the detection of compromising their ability to do normal activities and visual, vestibular and somatosensory stimuli [11-13], to maintain the practice of sport. Those declines in processing the information [14] and in the response happen at the level of muscular strength production [2, through muscle contraction [15]. These changes are 3], with a decrease of maximal strength associated related to the loss of neurons and a decrease in the with loss of muscle mass, and atrophy, with a decrease functional capacity of the remaining neurons, leading in cross-sectional area of muscle fibers and a decrease to a decrease in the velocity of conduction in the nerve in the number of muscle fibers [4-6].

Tai Chi practice improves neuromuscular control, In association with neuromuscular control and which improves the balance and reduces the risk of strength production, other factors, such as longer falls. Similar conclusions about balance control were co-activation and co-contraction [21], or the reduction found in the Korean martial art Taekwondo [36], and of specific tension in muscles may contribute to the also improvements in muscular strength and flexibility age-related loss of force [22]. The co-activation and were noted [37]. co-contraction between agonist and antagonist In karate, the performance of specific skills is muscles are higher in the earlier ages, decreasing dependent on a high level of control and coordination progressively with maturation, and learning and of the limbs movements and balance, which is practice of skills [23]. There is a stabilization period dependent on effective neuromuscular control.

Neuromuscular control patterns of the movements The latest research in karate has mainly focused on and the changes related with aging lead to changes in the kinesiological aspects of skills performance in the performance of both simple and complex skills. both regular and elite practitioners aged below 50 Several studies concluded that the changes in years old. Some researchers analyzed the movement time increase with aging [10, 14, 28, 29], neuromuscular patterns, kinematic and kinetic activity but the older people can perform motor skill activities of the punches [38-40], and others the kicks [41-45]. using similar control strategies to young adults [28]. However, research about the relationship between Rand and Stelmach [14] showed that several aging and karate practice has to be done. Thus, movement components were differently affected by considering the karate with a practice possible for life, aging, and this affected in different ways the decrease we must know and understand how the aging process of the overall performance. Those authors suggest the affects it, particularly in terms of neuromuscular existence of an age-related deficit in processing of activity, and the potential benefits to the quality of life sensory information, reducing the capability to plan of its practitioners. and organize sequential actions. The purpose of this study was to identify and The decline in neuromuscular function related to compare the neuromuscular patterns of activity in age [30, 31] can be slowed or delayed with regular veteran and younger black belt karate practitioners physical activity [6]. Studies about training in older during the performance of the frontal kick mae-geri to people confirm improvements in muscle strength [3, verify the existence of differences related to aging. To 32, 33], muscle power [34], explosive strength, fulfill this aim, the activity of the muscles of the hip walking speed and in balance. Improvements in the flexion, knee extension and foot plantar flexion were maximum oxygen consumption [1], as in the compared between the younger and veteran groups mitochondria functions [7] were found, which is during the performance of the mae-geri kick. We important for the contractile activity of muscles. hypothesized that continuous and regular karate Martial arts allow practitioners to maintain a regular practice will reduce the effects of aging process on and continuous practice throughout life, and some neuromuscular activity in older karate practitioners, studies related these practices with benefits in the preventing and attenuating the decrease in aging process.

Helmi Chaabène, Emerson Franchini, Bianca Miarka, Mohamed Amin Selmi, Bessem Mkaouer, and Karim Chamari Purpose: The aim of this study was to measure and compare physiological and time–motion variables during karate fighting and to assess eventual differences between winners and defeated elite karatekas in an ecologi- cally valid environment. Methods: Fourteen elite male karatekas who regularly participated in national and international events took part in a national-level competition. Results: There were no significant differences between winners and defeated karatekas regarding all the studied variables. Karatekas used more upper-limb (76.19%) than lower-limb techniques (23.80%). The kisami-zuki represented the most frequent technique, with 29.1% of all used techniques. The duration of each fighting activity ranged from <1 s to 5 s, with 83.8% ± 12.0% of the actions lasting less than 2 s. Karatekas executed 17 ± 7 high-intensity actions per fight, which corresponded to ~6 high-intensity actions per min. Action-to-rest ratio was about 1:1.5, and high-intensity- action-to-rest ratio was ~1:10. The mean blood lactate response at 3 min postcombat (Lapost) elicited during karate fighting was 11.18 ± 2.21 mmol/L (difference between Lapre and Lapost = 10.01 ± 1.81 mmol/L). Mean heart rate (HR) was 177 ± 14 beats/min (91% ± 5% of HRpeak).

In karate, precision, high speed, and tech- nique are the hallmarks of attack, counterattack, and defence. The aim of this study was the phase relation- ship between the proximal and distal joints during the execution of two technique of stroke karate: the punch gyaku tsuki and the kick mae geri. Material and Methods: The study included 14 male athletes, equally divided into 2 subgroups according to their current competi- tive level: sub-elite (SEG) and elite (EG). The karate stroke performance measure used was the linear veloci- ty peak of the wrist and foot. In order to analyze the intra-segment coordination, it was applied the nonlinear dynamics approach named continuous relative phase (CRP). From the CRP curve it was obtained the peak as well as the time to reach the CRP peak. It was also compared the index of the coordinative patterns’ variabil- ity, which was obtained by calculating the average of the CRP values and standard deviation.

Received: April 4, 2017 Accepted: May 25, 2017 Online Published: June 1, 2017 doi:10.11114/jets.v5i7.2317 URL: https://doi.org/10.11114/jets.v5i7.2317 Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the values of heart rate (HR) and blood lactate (BL) of kickboxers during kickboxing match. This study was conducted with the participation of 18 male and 16 female sportsman in Turkish Kickboxing championship, an organization of Turkish Kickboxing Federation. After the participant athletes read and signed informed voluntary consent form (BGOF) prepared for them, the measurements were collected. While no significant difference was found between ages, pre-match HR, post-match HR, pre and post-match BL of male and female Kickboxers, a significant difference was statistically found between the height (P˂0.05) and body weights (P˂0.01) of athletes. Age distribution of athletes was determined as 14-23 and mean age distribution was determined as 17.03±2.41. HR pressures of athletes differs according to pre-match and post-match periods (P˂0.001). As HR frequencies increase by 29.4% according to pre-match HR regardless of the gender, this increase was determined as 31.4% for male athletes and 27.2% for female athletes.
