Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Two groups

"Experimental group" and "Control group"

Group Type OTHER

Taekwondo-Specific Agility Test (TSAT), Frequency Speed of Kick Test (FSKT), Frequency Speed of Kick Test (FSKT10s), Multiple Frequency Speed of Kick Test (FSKTmult), Kick Decrement Index (KDI)

Intervention Type OTHER

After pre-test measurements, the experimental group performed an eight-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program three times per week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) alongside their regular taekwondo training. The control group continued with their regular taekwondo training only. After the eight-week intervention, post-tests were administered to both groups, and the results were recorded by the researchers.
