Objective of the study was to analyze the biomechanic characteristics of shuttle move in martial arts.
Methods and structure of the study. We sampled for the shuttle move biomechanics analysis two fight videos showing the execution of shuttle move by the skilled and unskilled (beginner) fighters. The skilled one was tested with wider movement amplitudes and higher speed of the center of body mass – indicative of the better equilibrium and lower energy costs.
Results and conclusion. The unskilled athlete was tested with much more erratic rushes in shuttle move execution than the skilled one. The amplitude analysis of the relative average speed of the center of body mass in the inter-cycle transition phases found two peaks in the most common speeds – versus only one speed peak in the unskilled athlete’s shuttle move profile. It is also important that the unskilled athlete was tested with much higher energy costs fraught with early fatigue in the bouts.
