Taekwondo is a modernized martial art that includes various combinations of hand and kicking techniques and core values of Taekwondo philosophy such as courtesy, mutual respect, and self-control. Physical inactivity is highly prevalent among older adults and is a major contributor to health-related problems. Intergenerational physical activity programs are used as an effective tool to make a positive connection between generations and provide additional health benefits for both generations. This review study aimed to examine the theories of intergenerational physical activity programs and propose the Intergenerational Taekwondo Program (ITP). Various theories such as the transtheoretical model, contact theory, social capital theory, situated learning theory, human development theory, personality theory, and whole-person wellness model have been adopted in intergenerational physical activity programs. Our review suggests that to develop the Intergenerational Taekwondo Program, instructors should (1) establishing common goals, (2) understand differences in physical and mental abilities, and (3) offer incentives to encourage participants in physical activity programs. The proposed ITP program has the potential to not just provide unique inherent values and improving physical functions, but also to form generational connections.
跆拳道是一种现代化的武术，包括各种手技和踢技的组合，以及跆拳道哲学的核心价值观，如礼貌、相互尊重和自我控制。老年人普遍存在身体活动不足的问题，这是导致与健康相关问题的主要原因之一。代际体育活动计划被用作一种有效工具，在代际之间建立积极的联系，并为两代人提供额外的健康益处。本综述研究旨在探讨代际体育活动计划的理论，并提出代际跆拳道计划（ITP）。代际体育活动计划中采用了各种理论，如跨理论模型、接触理论、社会资本理论、情境学习理论、人类发展理论、人格理论和整体健康模式。我们的综述表明，为了开发代际跆拳道计划，教练应该（1）确立共同目标，（2）了解身心能力的差异，（3）提供激励措施，鼓励参与者参加体育活动计划。拟议的 ITP 计划不仅有可能提供独特的内在价值和改善身体功能，还有可能建立代际联系。
