Does a Taekwondo-specific exercise test (TKDtest) reliably measure cardiorespiratory variables compared to a standard treadmill exercise test in Taekwondo athletes?
A novel Taekwondo-specific exercise test is reliable for measuring cardiorespiratory variables and elicits different physiological responses compared to standard treadmill testing due to the specific motor tasks involved.
Araújo et al. (2015) studied this question.
