Physical condition preparation of combat sport athletes for fighting simulation in experimental research: coach perspective analysis

Background and Study Aim. There is a lack of scientific information on how much time is ideal for physical conditioning preparation needed before conducting experimental research in the form of a pretest.

description Background and Study Aim. There is a lack of scientific information on how much time is ideal for physical conditioning preparation needed before conducting experimental research in the form of a pretest. The purpose of this study is to fill the information gap by collecting data and in-depth analysis of the preparation time considered optimal by coaches in facing match simulations at pretest time. Material and Methods. This type of research is qualitative, with an unstructured interview approach and field observation as well as evidence of scientific publications. The sample is 10 coaches represented by 2 coaches each from karate, judo, taekwondo, boxing, and pencak silat. Coach characteristics: aged 45 - 57 years, with experience as athletes ±10.5 years, and experience as coaches ±21.3 years. In addition, they must have a minimum coaching license at the national to international level, a bachelor's degree in sports science, and a high level of proficiency (black belt or equivalent). Data analysis uses narrative analysis methods to identify common themes and patterns that emerge from the data. Results. Aspects of technique and tactics, the importance of mastering basic techniques, fighting strategy, mastering attack distance, and defense. Aspects of physical components show that endurance and speed are crucial elements that need to be improved first. In addition, the importance of integrating types of training for muscle strength and agility is emphasized. Aspects of mental, this study highlights the importance of mental training including relaxation and visualization techniques that improve focus, self-confidence, and concentration in athletes. Then the ideal time recommended is at least 6 weeks with intensive training sessions 3-5 times per week, before starting the pretest of the study through simulation. Conclusions. The results of this study can be a reference for researchers who need to be prepared for experimental research other than using the Declaration of Helsinki. In addition, the important point is to avoid injury in the battle simulation when collecting initial pretest data, because the fighter simulation is designed like a real match. The hope is that the results of this study can be a guideline used by researchers to obtain more reliable research results.
