Structured PICO

Does Taekwondo training elicit sufficient heart rate responses for cardiovascular conditioning in experienced practitioners?

Population

8 male experienced Taekwondo practitioners, with 3-13 years (5.4 +/- 3.2 years) experience

Intervention

5-day Taekwondo training camp consisting of 8 fundamental training activities (elastics, technical combinations, step sparring, pad work, forms, basic techniques and forms, sparring drills, and free sparring)

Outcome

Heart rate (HR) responses measured continuously at 5-second intervalssurrogate

Different Taekwondo training activities elicit moderate to hard relative exercise intensities, making them suitable for cardiovascular conditioning.
