Taekwondo (TKD) is a popular sport practiced by people of all ages in more than 180 countries and it is generally considered as being beneficial to health even though the scientific evidence for this is not conclusive. Despite its popularity, there are very few studies on the health benefits of TKD, therefore this article attempts to pull together the existing strands of relevant research.
This paper aimed to review the effects of TKD training on physical fitness.
A search of literature on both electronic and printed media was performed and 23 papers with relevance to the topic were included and critically reviewed. The main outcomes examined were anaerobic and aerobic fitness, body composition, muscle strength, endurance, power and flexibility.
There is no conclusive evidence in the literature that TKD practice can improve anaerobic fitness or muscle strength. However, TKD training may have some benefits in aerobic capacity, body composition (fat loss) and flexibility.
Physiotherapists or fitness instructors may consider recommending TKD to their clients as a beneficial form of exercise to promote aerobic fitness and flexibility.
跆拳道（TKD）是一项在 180 多个国家中深受各年龄段人群喜爱的流行运动，尽管其对健康的益处尚无定论，但人们普遍认为它对健康有益。尽管跆拳道很受欢迎，但关于其健康益处的研究却很少，因此本文试图梳理相关研究的现有线索。
本文旨在综述跆拳道训练对身体素质的影响。
对电子和印刷媒体上的文献进行了检索，并纳入了 23 篇与该主题相关的论文进行了批判性评价。主要考察的结果是无氧和有氧健身、身体成分、肌肉力量、耐力、力量和柔韧性。
文献中没有确凿的证据表明跆拳道练习可以提高无氧健身或肌肉力量。然而，跆拳道训练可能对有氧能力、身体成分（减脂）和柔韧性有一定的益处。
物理治疗师或健身教练可以考虑向他们的客户推荐跆拳道，作为一种有益的运动形式，以促进有氧健身和柔韧性。
