Brain-Body training may give taekwondo athletes an edge
NCT ID NCT07702136
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding neuro-athletic training—exercises that challenge the nervous system with extra sensory input—to regular taekwondo practice can improve balance, agility, and jumping ability while reducing injury risk. Researchers will compare two groups of 13 athletes each: one doing standard training and one adding neuro-athletic drills. The trial focuses on athletes who have trained for at least two years and show a specific leg asymmetry that raises injury risk.

- What this could lead to
- If effective, this training approach could help taekwondo athletes improve performance and lower their risk of injury.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 26 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The training may not outperform regular practice.
