Description

Introduction Taekwondo is a Korean martial art practiced in over 184 countries. (1) The sport gained full medal status at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia, (1) and draws participants of all ages due to its perceived fitness benefits and popularity. A beginner starts at a rank of 'white belt' and when he or she has achieved sufficient proficiency of Taekwondo skills, they move through several higher ranks, respectively the colored belts (In increasing rank: Yellow, Orange, Green, Purple, Blue, Brown, Red), and black belts (with increasing rank based on Dan level, from 1st to 9th). To qualify for provincial tournament the athlete has to hold a first degree black belt from the WTF and has to weigh in the day before the tournament within the weight category they had applied to. Local tournaments have no such stipulations, though athletes are segregated by gender, age, and weight. Points in competition are awarded for full contact kicks to the body and head. A match consists of three rounds of two minutes each, and requires cardiovascular and muscular endurance. Due to the physical demands imposed on the athlete and the forces involved in full contact sparring, injury risk must be addressed.
