Key result
Four-week high-intensity training increases one-minute HRR by ~24 bpm in collegiate taekwondo athletes.
Why the study?
Precise monitoring of physiological responses to high-intensity training is crucial for enhancing performance and avoiding overtraining in taekwondo athletes.
Does a four-week high-intensity training program improve cardiovascular response and recovery in competitive collegiate taekwondo athletes?
Population
20 competitive collegiate taekwondo athletes aged 19-21 years old

Absolute Event Rate: 57.9% vs 34.4%
p-value: p=<0.001
A four-week high-intensity training program significantly improves heart rate recovery and lowers post-exercise systolic blood pressure in collegiate taekwondo athletes.
A 2026 study studied Taekwondo athletes (n=20). High-intensity training program vs. Baseline (pre-training) was evaluated on One-minute heart rate recovery (HRR) (p=<0.001). A four-week high-intensity training program significantly increased one-minute heart rate recovery from 34.40 to 57.90 bpm (p < 0.001) in collegiate taekwondo athletes.
