Note: Data represents mean ± SD; ED = Execution distance (ED1: short; ED2: normal; ED3: long); Chest = Roundhouse kick to the chest; Head = Roundhouse kick to the head. RT = Reaction time (s); ET = Normalized execution time (s · m-1); IF = Normalized impact force (N · kg-1). No pairwise significant difference was found (p > 0.05).
