Abstract :
َ Aim:Various types of exercises can optimally impact motor preparation factors. However, there have been insufficient studies evaluating the effectiveness of elastic, plastic, and resistance exercises. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the impact of these exercises on the motor preparation of karate practitioners. Method: his semi-analytical study was conducted on 60 teenage boys in Ramhormoz in 2017. The sample was randomly divided into two groups: one group underwent eight weeks of elastic, plastic, and resistance exercises (30 people), and the other was a control group (30 people). Initial tests were performed, followed by eight weeks of training for the exercise group. At the end of the period, both groups were evaluated in terms of speed, agility, muscle endurance, cardiovascular endurance, lower extremity strength, and flexibility. Results: Data indicated that eight weeks of elastic, plastic, and resistance training effectively improved speed (P < 0.005), agility (P < 0.005), flexibility (P < 0.005), and lower extremity strength (P < 0.005). However, these exercises had no significant effect on general muscle endurance (P = 0.12) or cardiovascular endurance (P = 0.06). Conclusion: Overall, according to the research findings, elastic, plastic, and resistance exercises appear to be effective methods for enhancing the motor preparation factors of adolescent karate practitioners. These exercises can be used to improve the motor preparation of these individuals.
