Tomàs Chacon, II° degree, member of Samjok-O and the national team, did scientific research concerning the effects of HIIT on hypoxia. Some members of the belgian national team were some of his study objects.
Some words written by Tomàs:
I am pleased to present to you the recent scientific research entitled: “Effects of High-Intensity Interval Training in Hypoxia on Taekwondo Performance”, which is published in the prestigious “Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance” (https://journals.humankinetics.com).
Together with members of the “Université catholique de Louvain” (Louvain-La-Neuve – Belgium), we have conducted research on the valuable effects of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) in hypoxia and/or normoxia to improve the performance in Taekwon-Do practitioners.
This study was carried out with the participation (between others) of Taekwon-Do practitioners from ITF-Belgium, from the different regions (Flanders, Brussels and Wallonie).
I am very grateful to the Belgian Federation and to all the people who participated in this study for their collaboration and contribution to the science, which through it, we can base our work as athletes, instructors or professionals on.
