“…Therefore, it seems that the higher the wearing sensation, the less useful it will be. More importantly, Sevinc and Colak [40] indicate that TEPD wearability is a leading factor that significantly affects Taekwondo performance. Therefore, manufacturing companies must maintain the product condition and continue to make efforts to improve its material and technical ability to improve product durability.…”

This study’s purpose was to establish a predictive model of the intention to accept Taekwondo electronic protector devices through the application of the technology acceptance model. Two hundred and twenty collegiate Taekwondo practitioners affiliated with the Korea Taekwondo Association participated in a survey that included 28 questions (4 relating to demographic characteristics, 12 to precursor variables, and 12 to the technology acceptance model). Correlation and structural equation modeling analyses were applied and a significance level of 0.05 was used. The results were as follows. Perceived quality had a significant influence on perceived ease of use (β = 0.380, t = 3.481, p < 0.001) and perceived usefulness (β = 0.544, t = 5.098, p < 0.001). Visual attractiveness had no significant influence on either perceived ease of use (β = 0.159, t = 1.798, p = 0.072) or perceived usefulness (β = −0.010, t = −0.131, p = 0.896). Wearability had a significant influence on perceived ease of use (β = 0.234, t = 2.867, p < 0.01), but a significantly negative influence on perceived usefulness (β = −0.218, t = −2.932, p < 0.01). Functionality had no significant influence on either perceived ease of use (β = 0.116, t = 1.031, p = 0.302) or perceived usefulness (β = 0.107, t = 1.093, p = 0.274). Perceived ease of use had a significant influence on perceived usefulness (β = 0.418, t = 4.361, p < 0.001) and acceptance intention (β = 0.361, t = 4.031, p < 0.001). Perceived usefulness had a significant influence on acceptance intention (β = 0.525, t = 5.758, p < 0.001). These results suggest that improving the perceived quality and wearability of the devices will enhance their acceptance. We believe that this study provides an appropriate verification model for the intention to accept Taekwondo electronic protection devices.

“…This means that the spectators and participants of taekwondo, supported the use of these technologies for now and future events as well as the future improvements made to the PSS. To further demonstrate the importance of hit validation and electronic point scoring systems, a study in 2019 demonstrated an increase in performance of athletes due to their training on electronic systems and gamification [14]. In particular, they tested the performance changes by training with an electronic body protector and the effects of gamification on this change.…”

“…This is also known as the R-R interval. In diagnostics, HRV analysis provides significant information on the sympathetic and parasympathetic function of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) [14,15]. Hence, it is important to measure HRV; however, there are some limitations to acquiring the ECG signal.…”

“…This is an important physiological parameter for monitoring blood circulation and respiration. Having understood the significance and importance of PPG, the simple definition of photoplethysmogram or PPG is that it is a non-invasive optical technique to measure blood volume changes in the microvascular bed of tissue [14]. The basics of how an PPG sensor works is a light-emitting diode (LED) penetrates the skin, light travels through the tissue, and then the signal is received by the photo detector.…”

<div>Taekwondo is a combat sport that is based on striking and involves full body contact. Initially, it a referee-exclusive sport and that led to increased controversy on referee/judges’ accuracy, bias and fairness. To address these concerns, point scoring systems (PSS) were introduced in 2012 only consisting of a chest protector and in 2016 head protectors were added. Constant improvements have been made on these PSS and new impact classification algorithms and hardware were developed for a system made by 20/20 Armor. The work achieved 90% accuracy for illegal vs legal classification on the head protector and 94.4% accuracy between legal impacts to the chest protector. This work proved to be a great step forward since reliance is increasing on these PSS as they are now the “final decision” for impact detection in Taekwondo. Furthermore, our algorithms use edge computing that allow for real time application and at-home training.</div>

“…The overall results indicate that among the game elements tested in the study, points [17], [18], [19], [20], leaderboard [21], [17], [18], [20] and challenges [21], [17], [18], [19] has highest frequency of effects on the study [15]. However, based on the results [15], it can be concluded that different people encounter gamification in different ways and that personal characteristics such as exercise habits and attitudes towards sports technology influence how the gamification affects exercise motivation [21].…”

PURPOSE: To identify the main findings from research on gamified virtual reality in sport METHODS: The digital databases for this review were searched and visited on 19 May 2019. Gamification AND ("virtual reality" OR sports fitness) were used as a search string or keyword in the paper selection. RESULTS: Thirty -three papers were found after the preliminary searches to narrow down the selections that align with the goals of this study. The selected papers were examined to investigate the characteristics of gamification in a broad context of sports. These findings suggest that the use of gamification methods help physical exercise in the immersive VR setting. CONCLUSION: Through the outcomes of user experience, it can prove that gamification components are boosting the pleasure of the user throughout the physical activity and provide a set of rules to encourage the athlete or user to perform better. Besides, generality of impacts with VR and gamification in sports has been discussed in this paper by listing the advantages and limitations. However, findings need more varied populations, particularly elements, athletes, kids, and older people.
