One of the first and foremost concern is concussions! Other parts of injury include arms, legs, trunk and groin area.
Table 1: Region of Injury (Zetaruk, M. N., Violan, M. A., Zurakowski, D., & Micheli, L. J., 2005)
The above chart is from a study conducted on Taekwondo athletes during training/competition. Out of the 49 members that participated in the study, 30% sustained head/neck injuries, such as concussions. 40.8% incurred injuries in their upper extremity, 57.1% in their lower extremity, 18.4% in the groin area and 24.5% at their trunk.
