| Abstract | ||
| This study aim to identify Kinematic characteristics of the half roundhouse kick (Mawashi-geri Jodan) and Identify the effect of training program to improve fine motor reaction speed in light of kinematic characteristics of half roundhouse kick (Mawashi-geri Jodan) The researcher used the descriptive approach to identify Kinematic characteristics of Mawashi-geri Jodan skill and experimental approach with one group design for application of proposed program for development of fine motor reaction speed for skill under discussion. The research sample consists of (10) first-class players from Almonofiyah Karate region, also one international player selected as sample of kinematic analysis for skill under study The most important results: - Knee and pelvis joints represent great importance in Mawashi-geri kick for karate players - Body’s center of gravity plays a great role in success of performing motor requirement of Mawashi-geri for karate players. - It is important to use exercises similar to skill performance The researcher recommended using kinematic determinants derived from this research when developing speed training program and associate with other physical abilities like accuracy. | ||
