aims to determine the rates of injuries, the types of injuries and what part of
the body is mostly injured in professional taekwondo sportsmen during
competitions. This study involves 287 sportsmen participated in the
interuniversity Taekwando championship in Ordu. Injuries during a match of the championship was
determined  by a
team. The characteristics  and types of injuries, the sportsmen’s verbal
expressions were registered by a pre-determined team, and it was mentioned
about how these injuries occurred, in which part of the body the injuries were
seen. Among 287 sportsmen in this study, 178 sportsmen were male, 109 ones were
female. 46 universities took part in this championship. The championship lasted
three days and total 271 competitions were done. 539 injuries were determined
in total. The mostly seen type of injury was hematoma (43%), the mostly injured
part was in lower extremities 416 (77%), most of the injuries were ones seen in
defense (36%). No injuries were not observed in neck, shoulder, spine or trunk
and cerebral injuries were not also observed. As a result of the study, it was
explained that most of the injuries seen in the taekwondo competitions did not
require the medical intervention and the lower extremities were mostly injured
in these competitions. In the light of these findings, it could be said that
these parts be protected during the competitions and the defense techniques be
different.
