MODEL OF QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF THE EFFICIENCY FACTOR IN KARATE

Nazim Kurtovic

Abstract

In this paper, we present research to verify whether the continuous individually modeled transformation process with included appropriate content will affect the system for dominant response to a stimulus, as well as the improvement of the overall performance in the sport's fight in karate. We conducted the research through a series of tests on 13 top competitors in laboratory conditions that were close to real, as well as real competition conditions. The obtained results clearly showed the peculiarities of the individuals in terms of technical-tactical preparation and terms of their effectiveness in responding to a stimulus. Based on the data thus obtained, we derived the model of quantitative determination of the efficiency factor. The quotient model is strictly related to the presented materials with an emphasis on defensive responses, but it can be supplemented as necessary with other components that are an integral part of the performance planning for each competitor in the kumite (sports fight) in karate.
