The relationship between Taekwondo training habits and injury: a survey of a collegiate Taekwondo population

Abstract: ObjectiveTo correlate training habits of Taekwondo (TKD) athletes to risk for injury.BackgroundTKD is a Korean marital art that has been growing in popularity, with nearly 2 million individuals practicing the sport in the United States. Because of the combative nature of the sport, injuries are an inherent risk. However, data on proper training habits, types of injuries sustained during training, and recommendations for athletes to avoid injury are lacking. Frequently, studies of TKD evaluate athletes’ injurie… Show more

“…Accordingly, athletes not only have to perform TKD-specific skills and conditioning training but also have to participate in regional tournaments. However, these reality simulated training regimens (team combat practice, friendly match/competition, and regional tournament) possibly cause varying levels of sport injuries due to the frequent physical contact between athletes (Kazemi et al., 2005; Covarrubias et al., 2015; Hammami et al., 2018), because injuries are an inherent risk due to the nature of combat sports. These negative impacts during training may thus result in short-term training cessation and subsequently perturb athletic performance and competition preparations (Eston et al., 2003).…”

“…Indeed, future research should be conducted to examine training load planning within wrestling. Training load may also have a significant relationship to injury rate, for example, higher training load has been associated with more frequent injuries in taekwondo [ 29 ], though injuries were not assessed within the current study so no conclusion can be drawn in such areas with this data. Outside of these reported differences, frequency of training had no influence on competitive winningness in any combat sport.…”

“…However, these sports provide ambiguous outcomes in the health-sport relationship, as they are responsible for most sports injuries [2][3] . Taekwondo is a combat sport that prioritizes direct contact between athletes, by kicks and punches, which makes it inherent to injuries risk 2,4 . The requirements and competitiveness of the sport increase the risk of sports injuries and, despite efforts to reduce it, studies are necessary to assess its prevalence and associated risk factors 5,6 .…”
