Abstract

Taekwondo is a Korean martial art, combat sport, and Olympic discipline. Taekwondo competition is characterized as an individual sport (1X1), single elimination tournament and repechage system. The aim goal of this study was to conduct a bibliometric review regarding the item’s “Taekwondo” and “Performance”, through identified and published papers 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 papers published between 1992 and 2022. Descriptive analysis, citation, authorships, countries, institutions, and keywords co-occurrence analyses were conducted on Taekwondo sports performance. The papers found in the WOS database are inserted into 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 most published and cited researchers. The countries with the highest number of published papers 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, finding a gap in 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 to establish collaborations within groups, institutions, and countries. In this way, the productivity, effectiveness, and quality of research would be increased, as well as international collaboration networks.
