Taekwondo masters and coaches believe that they have a kind of “eagle eye” and that is why they feel comfortable to analyze athletes’ skills without using essential tools. The aim of this study was to analyze the athletes’ technical indicators during performance of the Miluh-chagi kick. To analyze the reliability and precision of the cycle of ten kicks (n = 120), performed by 5 women and 7 men senior athletes, we used an expert panel and a previously published observational tool. The coefficient of variation was calculated to verify precision. The intraclass correlation coefficient was calculated to confirm the reliability among the evaluators. Student’s t-test was used for group-to-group analysis. Correlation analyses were accessed using Spearman’s rho. The data quality sample reliability results, for group, intra- and inter-rater were excellent and good re-spectively. Statistically significant differences, with a large effect size, were found in the foot take-off, knee up and start leg flexion observational moments. The values showed a small and negative to moderate correlation between the conducts and aggregates criteria. Perfect correlation values were found between support leg foot and contact leg position. These findings meet the measurement requirements of athletes’ technical indicators to analyze motor behavior, develop-ment and performance of this technique.

Taekwondo is a Korean martial art, combat sport, and Olympic discipline. Taekwondo competi-tion is characterized as an individual sport (1X1), single elimination tournament and repechage system. The aim goal of this study is brought of a bibliometric review regarding the item’s “taekwondo” and “performance”, through identified and published manuscripts on the Web of Science (WOS) database by December 31, 2022. The bibliometric analysis was used to analyze a data set of 460 WOS-indexed manuscripts published between 1992 and 2022. Descriptive analy-sis, citation, authorships, countries, institutionals, and keywords co-occurrence analyses were conducted into Taekwondo sports performance. The manuscripts founded in the WOS database are inserted on the categories: “Sports Science” (n = 229), “Hospitality Leisure Sport Tourism” (n = 48), and “Physiology” (n = 32). The authors Kazemi et al. (2006), Matsushigue et al. (2009), and Paillard (2017) are the must published and cited researchers. The countries with high number of published manuscripts with the objective of this study are Brazil (n = 83), South Korea (n = 57), and Spain (n = 52). We found also, five collaboration networks between authors and institutions, found a gap of the thematic relevant researchers. The authors should have highlighted Franchini, E., (n = 42), and Falco, C., (n = 20). It is recommended to carry out multidimensional research on Taekwondo sports performance with the aim of establishing collaborations within groups, insti-tutions, and countries. In this way, the productivity, effectiveness, and quality of research would be increased, as well as international collaboration networks.
