Description
Summary:Problem. Although some of the potential benefits of taekwondo are still untapped for the safety of adolescents, there are important specific functions and physical preparations like flexibility to meet task requirements. Some of these soft skills are still missing on the ground though they enable practitioners to develop such movements in terms of technical skills. Knowing the flexibility of students’ bodies during rehearsal time or competition, especially in Kyorugi and Poomsae is crucial. In those games, a good performer is recognised through points awarded especially if the kick hits the head of the rival. In truth, the precision, flexibility of the limbs, and perfection of motions are believed to help the accuracy of the kicks and are still missing in many Taekwondo practitioners as well as an appropriate tool. Therefore, the aim is to develop a flexibility test model known as the BFS test.Method. This research is R&D (Research and Development) using the ADDIE model and aims to develop a flexibility test model in Taekwondo kicking. This proposed test model would enable the measurement of flexibility in the front, side, and rear kicks. Importantly, its validity and reliability were both tested by experts’ judgments along with the value of Aiken’s V model.Results and Conclusions. Results showed that the new model was appraised as a suitable model, with the highest score of 0.929 against 0.74 as calculated values. We concluded that the Flexibility Test Model was completely designated and tested with the BFS Flexibility Test under P
