KINEMATICAL ANALYSIS OF BANDAL AND DOLYO TAEKWONDO KICKS OF A HIGH LEVEL FEMALE ATHLETE

The purpose of this study was to analyze the kinematics of two Taekwondo kicks performed by a high level female athlete. The kicks were compared according to three main factors: a) type of kick (Bandal or Dolyo), b) foot of kick (right or left foot); c) kick starting with the kicking foot in front of the support limb or behind (front or back foot).The DVideo kinematical analysis system was used to reconstruct the 3D coordinates of twelve landmarks. The study was able to identify the main differences between the two most frequently used Taekwondo kicks, showed that the initial condition should be considered when comparing kicks and revealed differences between kicks accomplished with right or left foot of this high level athlete

Physical Education student teacher's self-efficacy beliefs

Made available in DSpace on 2019-09-12T16:57:14Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2010The judgments made by teachers about their own abilities to teach are important for decision making and the actions that will follow over the teaching and learning process in teaching in Physical Education. In order to investigate self-efficacy beliefs of student teachers in Physical Education, 159 students from 3rd and 4th grades of undergraduate courses in Physical Education responded to Physical Educator's Self-efficacy scale and a questionnaire. Participants are realized with a high level of self-efficacy, recognizing the importance of mastery experiences of teaching during undergraduate classes. These results provide guidance for planning strategies to address the construction of high teaching self-efficacy beliefs during the preparation process, considering that the consequences of such beliefs are associated with engagement and involvement in the task of teaching.[Iaochite, Roberto Tadeu] Universidade de Taubaté (Unitau), DEF, BR-12030180 Taubate, SP, Brazil[Iaochite, Roberto Tadeu] ESEFIC, Cruzeiro, SP, Brazil[da Silva, Afonsa Janaina] Univ Sao Francisco, FEF, BR-12900000 Braganca Paulista, SP, Brazil[Azzi, Roberta Gurgel] Univ Estadual Campinas, FE, Campinas, SP, Brazi
