귀지압이 태권도선수의 격파 정확성 및 경쟁상태불안에 미치는 영향

초록

Purpose: This study was to examine the effects of auricular acupressure on competitive state anxiety and the accuracyof breaking in taekwondo players. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental study with a time-series design. Twenty-two taekwondo breaking players were assigned to the control group for the first two weeks and then assignedto the experimental group for the next two weeks. Anxiety was measured by the revised Competitive State AnxietyInventory-2 and the accuracy of breaking was measured as a percentage of breaking the wooden board. Results: Auricularacupressure for two weeks significantly increased the accuracy of breaking from 80.83±7.99% to 90.92±7.57% (t=7.74,p<.001). Auricular acupressure for two weeks significantly increased anxiety from 35.66±10.36 to 50.64±7.45 (t=4.38,p<.001). Among three subtypes of competitive state anxiety, somatic anxiety was increased from 12.48±4.97 to22.95±4.54 (t=2.09, p=.011). Cognitive anxiety was significantly increased from 10.11±3.96 to 14.68±3.89 (t=5.37,p<.001) but self-confidence was not changed. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that auricular acupressurewas effective in increasing the accuracy of breaking in taekwondo players.
