To determine the pattern of injuries sustained by taekwondo competitors, and how previous injury affects performance in sporting competition.
Competitors at a major New Zealand full-contact taekwondo tournament were given a comprehensive questionnaire immediately before competition. Self reports of injuries sustained through taekwondo in the previous 12 months were determined.
No significant sex differences were found. The injury prevalence was high, but comparatively less than reported for other contact sports such as rugby football. However, one in 20 injuries was a closed head injury. No significant associations between prior injury and tournament outcome were found.
Taekwondo can be a source of disabling injury. However, the fact that prior injury did not appear to be associated with impaired competition performance may militate against acceptance of control and regulation by competitors and coaches.
确定跆拳道运动员受伤的模式，以及既往伤病如何影响体育比赛成绩。
在新西兰一场大型全接触式跆拳道比赛前，马上给参赛选手发放一份综合问卷。确定他们在过去12个月里因跆拳道运动而受伤的自我报告情况。
未发现显著的性别差异。受伤发生率很高，但相对低于橄榄球等其他接触性运动的报告发生率。然而，每20例伤病中就有1例是闭合性头部损伤。未发现既往伤病与比赛结果之间存在显著关联。
跆拳道可能是致残性损伤的一个来源。然而，既往伤病似乎与比赛成绩受损并无关联，这一事实可能不利于运动员和教练接受管控和规则。
