Abstract

Objective of the study is to identify the effectiveness of kickboxing techniques that condition victory in a bout by knockout. Methods and structure of the study. A video analysis of 86 professional fights conducted according to K-1 rules and ending in a knockout was carried out. The significance of kickboxing techniques in achieving victory by knockout was calculated by the frequency of its achievement by the applied technique. Results and conclusions. It was established that the effectiveness of the high roundhouse kick and the high hook punch in finishing a bout by knockout is determined by striking the opponent's head. Strikes to the abdomen and thigh area are also effective means for finishing a bout by knockout. The least effective techniques were the heel kick and the jumping punch.
