What is it about?

We demonstrated the significant effects of body size and composition on anaerobic alactic power in elite taekwondo athletes differed by age, maturational status, and training experience.

Why is it important?

Our findings show that by determining the current level of anthropometric and body composition measures for individual athletes and via regressive modelling, one can anticipate the individual developmental dynamics of anaerobic alactic power.

Perspectives

On the basis of anthropometric profiling, we recommend the recruitment and selection of tall and lean individuals with a high anaerobic predisposition in taekwondo. Such a profile may enable coaches to better predict future athlete development, particularly in AAP.
