ABSTRACT
During the lockdown, some clubs had the usual approach to training while others did not because of the prescribed measures. Differences in training also occurred due to compliance or non-compliance with the measures. Some sports theorists argue that this should affect results at all levels of sport. The aim of this paper is to examine aspects of kickboxing training during the lockdown. The second goal is to determine the correlation between the work model and the amount of training during the lockdown and kickboxing results. A validated questionnaire was used to collect data from 40 active fighters aged 24.13±5.67 years, including 34 men aged 24.29±5.73 years and 6 women aged 23.17±5.71 years. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistical parameters, whereas correlations were tested by Spearman's correlation coefficient. Kickboxers mostly trained at home or out in the open, no special program was implemented; it was usually decided by athletes themselves, and they received psychological support from the coach. Compared to previous sparring training, they did less than 50%, and TE-TA training was done at 60%, endurance at 70%, and strength at 80%. Fighters who had good results before the pandemic paid more attention to training. Fighters who worked harder on endurance had better placement in 2022. The difference between the results before and after the lockdown is significantly correlated to the amount of TE-TA training. Clubs need to balance between adherence to measures and results, and be aware of the fact that their competition still does some things that they are not allowed to do. Based on this research, instructions for training in similar situations can be given.
