Annotation

This article reviews Russian-language scientific publications on the biomechanics of kickboxing. Based on the PRISMA-ScR 2018 Scoping review Statement, the author identifies three categories of publications: general works on the biomechanics of martial arts, dissertations on kickboxing, and scientific papers about kickboxing in books, journals, and conference proceedings. Through analysis, the author highlights and organizes key elements of martial arts biomechanics such as hand and foot strikes, their phases, frequency, dynamics, and the role of muscle groups. These elements are seen as parts of a biokinematic chain, including the kinematic phases of leg, arm, and body movements. The system of identified elements encompasses three groups of factors that require consideration in kickboxing: different movements like offence and defence as well as attacking movements, training components and current conditions. These features are quite impor tant in complexity because they could be considered as a base for developing methodical guidance for training and exercises. The integration of above structured chains gains sports biomechanics of kickboxing, representing a unified framework of spatiotemporal movements of bodies. These shapes concept of how to build and construct effective movements, develop crucial skills and abilities. This framework is constructed with attention to individual characteris- tics and the practical application of biomechanical principles in monitoring both training and combat processes. The study also applies biomechanical principles to monitor training or competition performance. This research makes a valuable contribution to the scientific exploration of kickboxing biomechanics, offering insights into improving techniques and performance monitoring.
