Development of the Taekwondo Performance Protocol to Assess Technical Speed and Quickness

Introduction: The aim of this study is to develop the Taekwondo Performance Protocol (TPP), with which taekwondo-specific speed and quickness performance can be measured. Materials Methods: was conducted participation 79 active athletes that were at least 1st gup level (red – black belt). At development stage TPP, reliability calculations made using test-retest method. During examination validity Illinois agility, 20-meter sprint, vertical jump, anaerobic power (Lewis) performances correlations between them examined. In addition, TPP's effectiveness in distinguishing different levels Results: results showed TPP has a high reliability. It also found associated 20-m characteristics low-to-medium had ability for levels. Conclusions: show an economical, simple, reliable, valid test.
