Taekwondo-specific aerobic-anaerobic-agility (TAAA) test.
The test involves six 20-s (a total of 2 minutes) intervals of shuttle sprints between point A and B and performing roundhouse kicks at these points, with a 10-s rest period between sets. 1) sprint forwards to point A; 2 and 6) a right-foot kick; 3 and 7) a right-side 180-degree rotation; 4 and 8) a left-foot kick; 5) sprint forwards to point B.
