The Relationship Between Relative Impact Force and Jumping Performance in Taekwondo Athletes
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Performance Assessment Protocol for The Study Focuses on National Taekwondo Athletes, Rather Than a Specific Disease or Medical Condition. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary
he goal of this study is to examine the relationship between countermovement jump performance and kick impact power in elite Taekwondo athletes and to evaluate these variables across gender and weight categories. The main questions it aims to answer are whether jump performance is associated with kick impact power and whether these variables differ according to weight class and gender. Thirty-two elite Taekwondo athletes with international experience participated in the study. Participants performed countermovement jump tests to assess anaerobic power and sport-specific kicking tests to measure impact power. Data were analyzed using correlation, t-tests, ANOVA, and Kruskal-Wallis tests, with post-hoc comparisons where appropriate. Participants performed: countermovement jump tests to assess explosive lower-limb power sport-specific kicking tests to measure impact force laboratory-based performance assessments using biomechanical measurements
Study Details
Timeline
Arms & Interventions
Participants were elite Taekwondo athletes who underwent standardized performance testing including countermovement jump (CMJ) assessment and sport-specific kicking tests (Roundhouse Kick and Side Kick). Kick impact power was measured using a validated force measurement system. No intervention was administered. All assessments were performed under controlled laboratory conditions.
Interventions
Participants underwent a standardized performance assessment protocol including countermovement jump (CMJ) testing and sport-specific kicking tests (Roundhouse Kick and Side Kick). Kick impact power was measured using a validated biomechanical force measurement system (PowerKube). No therapeutic or training intervention was applied. All assessments were conducted under controlled laboratory conditions to evaluate explosive power and sport-specific performance characteristics. Device: OptoJump Photoelectric Cell System The OptoJump system was used to measure countermovement jump (CMJ) height and assess lower extremity explosive power. Device: PowerKube Impact Measurement System The PowerKube device was used to measure kicking impact power (Roundhouse Kick and Side Kick) in watts. Procedure: Performance Testing Protocol Participants underwent anthropometric assessment, CMJ testing, and kicking performance tests under standardized laboratory conditions. No training or therapeutic interv
