The extant research on Taekwondo has focused primarily on the physiological effects of training, with limited interest in psychological resilience, self-defence and quality of life levels. The present study examined the effects of Taekwondo exercises on psychological resilience, self-defence and quality of life levels in healthy female subjects.
The present study comprised 30 healthy, sedentary female subjects. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups: one group participated in Taekwondo training (TG), while the other group served as the control group (CG). The sample sizes for both the TG and CG groups were 15. The TT group underwent conventional Taekwondo instruction, while the CG group maintained their habitual routine and refrained from sporting pursuits. The Brief Psychological Resilience Scale, the Physical Self-Defence Scale for Women, and the SF-12 Quality of Life Scale were administered before and after the six-week training period.
The 6-week Taekwondo training programme led to significant improvements in both physical health (PH) ( = 0.049) and mental health (MH) ( < 0.01) scores in female participants. It did not produce a significant change in psychological resilience (PR) scores ( > 0.05). It produced significant improvements in self-defence against simple physical attacks (SP) ( = 0.004) and self-defence against dangerous physical attacks (DP) ( = 0.041) scores.
The positive effects of Taekwondo training on psychological resilience, physical self-defence and quality of life levels have been demonstrated in healthy female subjects. This study provides valuable insights into the impact of Taekwondo exercises on psychological resilience, physical self-defence and quality of life levels. The findings of this study can guide future intervention and programme design in the context of sports psychology.
现存关于跆拳道的研究主要集中在训练的生理影响上，对心理韧性、自卫能力和生活质量水平的关注有限。本研究考察了跆拳道练习对健康女性受试者心理韧性、自卫能力和生活质量水平的影响。
本研究包括30名健康的久坐不动的女性受试者。受试者被随机分为两组：一组参加跆拳道训练（TG组），另一组作为对照组（CG组）。TG组和CG组的样本量均为15。TG组接受传统的跆拳道指导，而CG组保持其习惯的日常活动，不参加体育活动。在为期六周的训练期前后，分别使用简易心理韧性量表、女性身体自卫量表和SF-12生活质量量表进行测量。
为期6周的跆拳道训练计划使女性参与者的身体健康（PH）得分（P = 0.049）和心理健康（MH）得分（P < 0.01）均有显著提高。心理韧性（PR）得分没有显著变化（P > 0.05）。在针对简单身体攻击的自卫能力（SP）得分（P = 0.004）和针对危险身体攻击的自卫能力（DP）得分（P = 0.041）方面有显著提高。
跆拳道训练对健康女性受试者的心理韧性、身体自卫能力和生活质量水平具有积极影响。本研究为跆拳道练习对心理韧性、身体自卫能力和生活质量水平的影响提供了有价值的见解。本研究结果可为运动心理学背景下的未来干预和项目设计提供指导。
