The Effect Of Taekwondo Training On Static And Dynamic Balance Development: A Brief Review

Abstract

The successful performance of most daily activities and maintaining proper posture depends on the ability to balance, and the concept of balance is of great importance in daily life and in all sports branches. Taekwondo is characterized by an emphasis on dynamic kicking techniques applied from a moving stance. When practicing taekwondo techniques, a developed ability of static and dynamic balance during training and competition is extremely important in maintaining posture and making the right move in attack and defense. For these reasons, static and dynamic balance development is emphasized in taekwondo. In the literature, studies examining the effects of taekwondo training on various physical parameters were frequently found. Therefore, it was deemed necessary to summarize whether taekwondo training has an effect on balance ability in terms of the studies conducted in the literature. The aim of this study is to systematically examine the studies conducted to determine the effect of taekwondo training on balance development and to provide a source for further research on this subject.
