Description
Summary:Aim and Method. The purpose of this study was to describe the physical performance (acceleration, number of impacts, distance and maximum speed) and physiological response (heart rate and blood lactate) of young female taekwondo athletes during combat simulations. Material. The sample consisted of seven girls (13.1 ± 1.1 years), who participated in a simulated taekwondo competition. Results. The main results observed were: post match blood lactate = 4.19 ± 2.03 mmol.L-1; peak heart rate = 201 ± 7 bpm; maximum acceleration = 9.68 ± 0.52 G; number of impacts = 148 ± 42; total distance = 203 ± 69 m; and maximum speed = 7.07 [6.7, 8.2] km/h. A lower mean heart rate (P
