Physiological Characteristics of Taekwondo Athletes

Abstract

Taekwondo, as an Olympic sport, has always been attached to great importance by all sectors of society, but the physiological demand of this sport is still relatively short of research. Therefore, there is still a lack of theoretical support for the actual needs of Taekwondo athletes for special training and physical training. Through searching the previous literature, the research found that (1) there is a lack of research on the aerobic capacity of Taekwondo athletes; (2) Athletes need a lot of reserves and the ability to quickly synthesize ATP, have the ability to tolerate lactic acid, and the aerobic ability to quickly eliminate lactic acid for post-competition recovery; (3) Aerobic training should be arranged in the training class or added at the end of each class; (4) LDH level can be one of the factors to evaluate the level of Taekwondo athletes.
