Sponge Mats, but not Taekwondo Mats, Reduce Landing Impact From Heights of 0.45, 0.90, and 1.35 m in Taekwondo Gyeokpa Players
The TKD mat was ineffective in reducing the landing impact as similar landing biomechanics were observed between landing on the ground and the TKD mat. We recommend the use of the sponge mat to reduce landing impact as it attenuated vGRF, delayed time to reach peak vGRF, and maintained sagittal plane landing posture, as compared with landing on the ground and the TKD mat.
