Purpose: the study attempted to investigate collegiate athletes’ subjective cognitive differences on the difficulty of Poomsae moves in Taekwondo. Methods: research participants were athletes who competed in 2015 National Intercollegiate Athletic Games. 78 questionnaires were administrated and 64 valid ones were retrieved (male: 35; female:29). The subjective cognitive differences on the difficulty of Poomsae as well as the subjective cognitive differences on the difficulty of hands, stances, foot techniques in Poomsae by collegiate athletes were analyzed with one-way ANOVA. Results: 1. Collegiate athletes considered the most difficult Poomsae move was Pyongwon. 2. There were no significant differences among the subjective cognitive difficulties on hand techniques, while the differences among subjective cognitive difficulties on stances and foot techniques were significant. Conclusions and Suggestions: 1. The findings showed, “crane stance” in Keumgang was considered significant harder than other Poomsae stances. 2. The food techniques (front kick followed by back side kick) in Pyogwon was considered significant harder than other Poomsae foot techniques. It is suggested, athletes should practice more on those stances and foot techniques considered more difficult. Also, assistant equipment can be used to improve the skills, for instance, the proprioception control ability on the ankles as well as core muscles can be enhanced by training on the unstable surface of BOSU ball. The findings of this study can serve as the references for Taekwondo Poomsae coaches and athletes during trainings and competitions. |
