Purpose : To research match injuries related to Taekwondo in adolescent athletes and find out preventing injuries.
Materials & Methods : We analyzed 162 match injuries of middle and high school athletes, who were surveyed in 2005 and 2006 national tournament.
Results : Among 162 match injuries, injuries in foot and hand were the most commen and there were 35 cases in serious injuries such as fracture, open dislocation, open fracture of epiphyseal plate and so on. The very fast speed and destructive power of Takwondo athlete can cause open dislocation of great toe and can cause fracture of foot and upper extremity when kicking.
Conclusion : We consider that injured athletes need proper treatments and sufficient rest not to accumulate training injuries and match injuries and need to improve mats of stadium, braces for feet and hands and put on braces for elbows to prevent match injuries.
