Developing balance stability in young taekwondo athletes using vestibulosomatic exercises

Background and Study Aim. Balance plays a crucial role in enhancing technical skills and strike accuracy in combat sports, particularly in taekwondo. Sustaining static balance in the "yopchagi" (side kick) and "apchagi" (front kick) positions, as well as maintaining dynamic balance during rapid movements with sharp directional changes (rotational and torsional accelerations), is fundamental for executing accurate strikes in taekwondo competitions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a vestibulosomatic exercise program in improving static and dynamic balance stability, as well as strike accuracy, in adolescent taekwondo athletes during the execution of "yopchagi" (side kick) and "apchagi" (front kick) under visual and non-visual conditions. Materials and methods. The experiment included a control group (CG) and an experimental group (EG), each composed of 12 taekwondo athletes aged 15–16. Both groups trained 12 times per week following a set schedule: from 8:30 to 10:45 in the mor
