| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立花蓮教育大學 === 國民教育研究所 === 96 === The purpose of this study is to investigate the influences of kinesthetic perception associated with Katate sport. 10 Karate and 24 Kumite athletes who had ever participated international competitions were subjects. Both groups of subjects were right-handed and right-legged. In order to examine the kinesthetic functions associated with Karate sport, nine kinesthetic tests with blindfold were used: 1. single-leg standing, 2. grip force control, 3. timing control, 4. width of stride control, 5. shoulder rotation with straight arm, 6. flexion of elbow, 7. extension of elbow, 8. hip rotation with straight leg, and, 9. sitting with leg extension. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data of all nine measurements and independent T test was used to test the variability of kinesthetic perception differences for both Kata and Kumite athletes. The step wise multiple regression method was used for the analysis of nine kinesthetic perceptions for both groups as well. The results of present study revealed significant difference between both groups on test 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8. On the other hand, single-leg standing was displayed significant difference for Kata athletes. According to the regression result, however, kinesthetic perceptions in terms of sitting with leg extension was influential for Kumite athletes. In conclusion, Kata athletes were skillful and showed more stable performance due to the fact with less variations of kinesthetic perception than Kumite athletes.
