“Articles 1-3 deal with the biomechanics of Taekwon-Do including the revealed phenomenon of Kinematic Target Effect (KTE) and my proposed KTE coefficient. This can help to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the tested person. Application, for example, in the selection of players or people sent to rehabilitation.
Article 4 deals with the psychological assessment of TKD players. It is interesting to note that most studies indicate that women have a greater “anxiety state” than men. Our research shows that there is no difference between the TKD players tested, which can indicate that perhaps Taekwon-Do reduces anxiety in women.” – summarized Prof. Wasik.
