청소년 태권도 품새선수와 수련생의 코어근력과 무산소성파워 차이

The purpose of this study is to compare the differences between the core strength and anaerobic power of adolescent Taekwondo poomsae athletes and trainees, identify the superiority of the poomsae athletes and provide them as basic data for organizing appropriate training. Through this study, we intend to contribute to the improvement of physical stability in adolescence. For this study, 10 poomsae athletes and 10 trainees were recruited and healthy subjects were recruited without medical diagnosis. For the anaerobic power, the peak power and the average power were confirmed through the Wingate test. Core strength was identified by dividing it into 8 directions (0°, 45°, -45°, 90°, -90°, 135°, -135°, 180°) using the CENTAUR device. Since the anaerobic power test measures the maximum power, errors may appear during the day, so the low-intensity core strength was measured first, followed by the wingate test with a 20-minute break. Independent t-test was applied to the data collected through measurement using SPSS 27.0. The statistical significance level was set to p.05. As a result of this study, it was confirmed that the average of peak power and average power of anaerobic power of adolescent Taekwondo Poomsae athletes was statistically significantly better than that of trainees. As for core strength, it was confirmed that Taekwondo Poomsae athletes were statistically significantly superior to the trainees in 7 directions (45°, -45°, 90°, -90°, 135°, -135°, 180°) except for 0°.

The purpose of this study is to suggest an appropriate training method by examining the effect on lower extremity anaerobic power and related muscle thickness through 8 weeks of kettlebell training in Taekwondo Poomsae athletes. Seven athletes who are currently registered as athletes were selected and kettlebell training was performed for 8 weeks, and the difference was confirmed by performing the Wilcoxon-test, a non-parametric test, through pre and postmeasurement measurements. For this study, the difference was measured using a wingate anaerobic power measuring instrument and an ultrasonic instrument. As a result of the study, significant improvements were found in average power per body weight and peak power of anaerobic power. The five representative muscles of the lower extremities, rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis, and biceps femoris long muscle, all showed significant improvement.

Exploring the Effects of Coaching Behavior on the Mental Conditioning Process of Taekwondo Poomsae Athletes: A Moderated Mediation Effect of Psychological Needs and Gender

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is a gender-specific difference in the indirect effect of perceived coaching behaviors of Taekwondo Poomsae athletes on performance mediated by basic psychological needs. To this end, a survey was conducted to collect data from 474 Taekwondo Poomsae athletes (male = 285). Based on the collected data, analysis of basic descriptive statistics and confirmatory factor analysis were performed, and PROCESS was used to test the proposed model of multi mediated moderation. For female athletes, there was an indirect effect of controlling coaching behaviors resulting in performance improvement mediated by autonomy, but this effect was not observed in male athletes. The findings of this study indicate that different mental conditioning strategies should be applied in consideration of athletes’ gender to improve coaches’ methods of instruction and ultimately improve performance in Taekwondo Poomsae.

Lower Extremity Injury Prevention in Taekwondo Poomsae Athletes: An Educational Intervention

Poomsae is a non-contact form of taekwondo that involves physical exertion, technique, skills, and art. It combines kicks, blocks, stances, strikes, and punches demonstrated with an imaginary opponent. It is practice for self-defense, belt promotion, and action preparation for contact sparring. Chronic Overuse injuries are common in taekwondo Poomsae athletes as they participate in repetitive stress to attain mastery of forms used in competitions. The goal is to provide deep understanding and knowledge essential for training and optimal performance in sports to athletes and coaches. Educational intervention is deployed as a free webinar session consisting of 221 participants attended. The data are collected through a qualitative reflective feedback form consisting of questions targeting knowledge acquired and application of the information towards their practice as a coach and athlete. The result showed common reflective feedback towards the injury prevention strategy in Poomsae from the webinar: 1) Discovering strength and weakness, 2) Reason for strength and conditioning, 3) Prevention and management of injury.

Exploring the Motives of College TAEKWONDO Poomsae Athletes for Participating in the Poomsae Competitions

The study was conducted with the aim of exploring the motives of college Taekwondo poomsae athletes for participating in the poomsae competitions. To achieve the goal of the study, closed and open type surveys were conducted on 136 college athletes registered with the Korea Taekwondo Association across the country, and the results of analyzing the data collected through the survey are as follows. First, the first time college Taekwondo poomsae athletes participated in a poomsae competition was, 41.91% when they were in high school, 24.26% in middle school, 20.59% in elementary school, and 13.24% in college. Second, they have participated in poomsae competitions 30 or more times(30.88%), 20 or more times(19.12%), 10 or more times(13.24%), 25 or more(11.76%), five or more times(10.29%), 3 or more times(7.35%). Third, the motivational factors for college Taekwondo poomsae athletes to participate in the poomsae competitions were structured into 36 areas, which are grouped into 8 general areas: personal achievements(196), performance improvement(118), personal growth(100), fun(75), recommendation/environment(72), psychological enhancement(69), ability/relation-ship(52), and no-particular motives(10). Of the 8 general areas, personal achievements were shown at the high-est rate. Based on the results of the research so far, I would like to suggest follow-up research as follows. First, the motivation for university taekwondo poomsae athletes to participate in the competition was only expected to be natural, but there were more factors than winning. If we understand these diverse motivations well, we will be able to conduct strategic research to promote the competition. Second, although the study was conducted only on university poomsae players, it is believed that comparative analysis of the motivation for participation in competitions between ages would be possible if the study was conducted on taekwondo fighters and other age groups. In particular, meaningful research could be done because the sport of poomsae has the special charac-teristics of athletes of all ages, from college students to those in their 60s or older. Third, if research is done to find ways to solve difficulties and difficulties in participating in the competition, rather than the motivation for college taekwondo poomsae athletes, an effective alternative to mid-life or retirement could be made.

Secondly, perfectionist strive results in negative effects on stress caused by the restriction of personal time; and positive effects on stress generated by dissatisfaction in competition results, coaching, and/or career prospects. Thirdly, perfectionistic concerns positively affect the lack of fulfillment and perceived value, whereas perfectionistic strive poses negative effects on the loss of perceived value and physical and/or mental exhaustion.

Initial steps towards evidenced-based classification for Taekwondo poomsae athletes with intellectual impairments: a pilot study

The Paralympic classification process for athletes with intellectual impairments (II) requires sport-specific testing, developed on the basis of evidence about the impact of the underlying impairment on the performance in that sport. The main purpose of this explorative study was to assess the feasibility, reliability and validity of a novel taekwondo poomsae test in a sample of Taekwondo poomsae athletes with II. The second purpose was to determine to what extent cognitive aspects of sports intelligence are related to poomsae performance. The final purpose was to understand the relationship between generic working memory and poomsae specific memory. Thirteen poomsae athletes with II (8 males and 5 females) performed four cognitive and executive function tests and a novel test, specifically developed for the purpose of this study, to assess taekwondo poomsae performance. Results revealed a significant positive correlation between psychomotor speed and poomsae performance (TPPS), both for the dominant hand (r=.766, p < .05) and non-dominant hand (r=.658, p < .05). Poomsae specific memory (TPMS) was found to be significantly correlated to mean (r=.704, p = .011) and maximum generic working memory (r=.655, p = .021). High reliability (TPPS r=.982, ICC=.97-.99, d=.041; TPMS r=.955, ICC=.99-.99, d=.058) (p<.05), feasibility and content validity established the taekwondo poomsae test as a potential tool to include in a future evidence-based classification system for taekwondo poomsae athletes with II.

The Effect of Technical Competence in Balance Elements of Rhythmic Gymnastics on the Sportive Success of Taekwondo Poomsae Athletes

This study aims to investigate the effect of technical competence in certain balance elements, an important parameter in rhythmic gymnastics, on sportive success in taekwondo poomsae athletes and the relationship between them. The study was conducted on 12 female taekwondo athletes (age: 17.6±1.2; height: 159.26±3.1 cm; weight: 50.79±1.82 kg; BMI: 20.88±0.98 kg/m2). The participants were selected from successful athletes who were in the top 6 in their own category in the national taekwondo competition held this year. The athletes performed 6 balance elements in rhythmic gymnastics, i.e. side passé (SP), 90° forward (90°F), side split with hand support (SSWHS), Arabesque with trunk forward (A), Cossack (C) and free leg to the side (FLS), and the Y balance test. The relationship between these balances that were assessed by 3 international judges and success rating was identified using the Spearman correlation test. The level of significance was accepted as p&lt;0.05. As result, a statistically significant difference was found between side passé and split with hand support, balances used in rhythmic gymnastics, and success ratings (p&lt;0.05). While no statistically significant difference was found between other balances, i.e. 90° forward, arabesque with trunk forward, cossack and free leg to the side and sportive success, there was a high relationship between them. In addition, there was no statistically significant difference between sportive success and right and left anterior (RAB, LAB) posteromedial (RPMB, LPMB) and posterolateral (RPLB, LPLB) reach distances. In conclusion, since the study found a high relationship between sportive success and technical competence of poomsae athletes in the two technical side balances, it is suggested that basic gymnastics training can be effective in improving the balancing skills of taekwondo poomsae athletes.
