| Popis | The objective was to compare head impacts by junior and senior taekwondo athletes following a turning kick. It is worrisome that junior athletes may be subject to similar impacts produced by adult competitors. This study provides a glimpse into the possible impacts of rotational velocities experienced during full-contact competition. These data may provide a stepping-stone towards developing more age-specific designs for protective headgear. |
