Abstract

Introduction: Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art currently practiced in over 206 countries around the world. Taekwondo is a martial art with over 80 million practitioners worldwide. Taekwondo training prevents or positively improves obesity, dyslipidaemia, diabetes, hypertension, cerebrovascular, and cardiovascular diseases in adults and the elderly. Taekwondo is a popular martial art that involves a range of physical activities, including high-impact kicking, punching, and blocking techniques. Understanding the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in Taekwondo club students is essential for developing strategies to prevent and manage these issues effectively. However, there is limited data on this specific population. For Taekwondo students, the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain may be affected by factors such as the frequency and duration of training, the level of experience, and the intensity of competitions. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among Taekwondo club students and identify the most common areas affected. This information can help in developing effective prevention and management strategies, such as modifying training programs or implementing injury prevention protocols, to ensure the health and well-being of Taekwondo athletes.

Aim & Objective: To find out prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in taekwondo club students using Nordic Body Map questionnaire.

Methods: We conducted prevalence study among 332 taekwondo club students. We collected data from the field as per inclusion criteria. We used Nordic Body Map Questionnaire and Microsoft excel for data entry.

Conclusion: From this study we can conclude that right leg (i.e. 78.30%), right ankle (i.e. 75.28%), left ankle (i.e. 56.61%), right foot (i.e. 54.50%), left foot (i.e. 52.39%), left leg (i.e. 50.59%), left knee (i.e. 48.77%), and right knee (i.e. 46.67%) are most commonly affected due to musculoskeletal pain in the taekwondo club students.
