Impact of adapted taekwondo vs. multicomponent training on health status in independent older women: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: This study, called the TKD and Aging Project, aimed to analyze and compare the effects of an adapted taekwondo program concerning multicomponent training on blood pressure, morphological variables, food consumption frequency, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), physical fitness, handgrip strength, and postural balance in independent older women.
