Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: Taekwondo is a complex reactive sport that requires training in various tactics. Due to its significant impact and antagonism, athletes must master the tactics in the shortest time. Objective: To compare the impact of password and simulation training methods on athletes’ reaction times. Methods: Taekwondo athletes› reactions and striking abilities were studied. The difference between the two training methods on taekwondo athletes’ reaction and striking ability was analyzed by comparing the data before and after the athletes’ training. Results: The mean reaction times of down kick, sidekick, and cross kick after training in the password and simulated training groups were compared, with P values of P=0.020<0.05, P=0.046<0.05, and P=0.028<0.05, respectively, showing statistical difference. In regard to the mean strike time of down kick, sidekick, and cross kick, a comparison of the password training group and the simulated training group resulted in P=0.950>0.05, P=0.417>0.05, P=0.552>0.05, respectively, with no significant statistical difference. Conclusions: The password training method is significantly better than the simulation training method for improving the reaction time. The training methods have no significant effect on strike strength. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.
