“…Participation in Taekwondo training can also be effective in emotional and social development, through reducing anxiety, promoting independence and leadership, and controlling aggression [ 36 , 37 ]. In addition, some previous studies have suggested that regular Taekwondo training can be effective in improving mood states, as measured by the POMS test [ 10 , 38 ]. In this study, to verify the effect of Taekwondo training on international students’ mental and social health, a K-POMS-B test and a sociality survey, consisting of three sub-categories of peer relationships, social activity, and perceived discrimination, were conducted.…”

We aimed to investigate the effect of Taekwondo training on physical fitness, mood, sociality, and cognitive function among international students in South Korea. We randomly assigned 24 international students to a control group (CG, n = 12) and experimental group (EG, n = 12). The EG performed Taekwondo training for 16 weeks, while the CG did not train. Each participant underwent a physical fitness test and sociability questionnaire before and after the intervention. We also examined changes in mood state and cognitive function, using the Korean version of the Profile of Mood State-Brief (K-POMS-B), and the Stroop Color and Word test, respectively. Regarding the physical fitness variables, sit-and-reach records in the EG significantly increased after intervention (p < 0.05). In the sub-variable of K-POMS-B, Vigor-Activity scores significantly increased (p < 0.05) after intervention, while the Fatigue-Inertia scores significantly decreased in the EG (p < 0.05). Furthermore, in the EG, peer relationship scores, a sub-variable of sociability, significantly decreased after intervention (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that Taekwondo training can not only improve flexibility among physical fitness factors, but can also be effective in improving the mood state and sociality of international students.

“…Taekwondo, in particular, has been shown to provide significant psychological benefits to Athletes, such as cognitive and affective self-regulation, improvements in social behavior, and elevated mood (Akehurst, Southcott, & Lambert, 2020;Harwood, Lavidor, & Rassovsky, 2017;Yang, Ko, & Roh, 2018). Taekwondo Athletes have also been observed to have low levels of anxiety, depression, and aggression as well as excellent physical conditions (Bridge, da Silva Santos, Chaabene, Pieter, & Franchini, 2014;Moore, Dudley, & Woodcock, 2019;Quintero et al, 2023;Valdés-Badilla et al, 2021).…”

In sports and taekwondo in particular, it is of interest to understand the impact of sociodemographic and physical factors of athletes during this period, as well as their impact on psychological health. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between physical activity levels, demographic factors, and psychological well-being during the COVID-19 lockdown in Taekwondo athletes. Seventy-eight male Taekwondo athletes (35 ± 14.6 years) at national and international levels participated in an online survey during the COVID-19 Lockdown period in September 2020. The factors analyzed included expertise, socioeconomic status, education, and physical activity levels. The main findings of this study indicated that university education level was significantly associated with both well-being and lower distress (χ2 = 7.0; p = 0.03). Similarly, athletes with a moderate level of physical activity showed a significant association with their state of well-being (χ2 = 7.0; p = 0.03) and absence of distress (χ2 = 10.5; p = 0.00). However, no significant associations were found between technical level and age category with well-being or distress. Our findings showed that the lockdown negatively affected both total physical activity levels and psychological well-being in Colombian Taekwondo Athletes. A higher educational level allows for a greater understanding of the situations presented during the pandemic, and the level of physical activity is a determinant of the mental health of athletes.

“…Athletes generate fatigue after exercise stimulation. In this case, if the fatigue is not eliminated in time, athletes will not be able to adapt to further training load, which will eventually have an adverse effect on the training results [1][2].…”

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effects of resuming training using yoga on the physical functions and fitness of Taekwondo athletes after high-intensity training.Method: A total of 50 Taekwondo athletes from this college were randomly divided into 2 groups. 25 athletes are in the control group, and they massage their muscles after high-intensity training to help recovery. Meanwhile, 25 athletes are in observation groups, and they practice yoga after high-intensity training for resuming training. After 8 weeks, the physical functions and fitness of the two groups of athletes were compared.Result: There was no statistically significant difference between the observation group and the control group before starting high-intensity training from 1st week to 8th week (P<0.05). From the 4th week to the 8th week after high-intensity training, the observation group's heart rate, heart rate after resuming training and subjective physical sensation degree scores were lower than the control group (P<0.05). After 8 weeks of resuming training in the observation group, hemoglobin was higher than the control group, blood urea nitrogen and creatine kinase was lower than the control group (P<0.05). The observation group's flexion test results of the sitting position after 4th week and 8th week of resuming training were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion: The use of yoga for resuming training after high-intensity training can improve the physical function and fitness of Taekwondo athletes, improve the flexibility of athletes and promote their professional skills.
