Abstract
The purpose of the research was to construct the specific reaction speed test for Taekwondo. Twenty male and female elite taekwondo athletes were participated in this study. Analysis of the content validity of the test was to determine the content validity index (CVI), Construct validity, Concurrent validity and Test-retest reliability. Data were analyzed by using t-test independent and Pearson-Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. All test used the .05 level of significance.
The result showed that the constructed specific reaction speed test for Taekwondo which was created by the researcher had a content validity index (CVI = 0.93), Construct validity show that reaction speed performance was discriminated between elite and amateur taekwondo athletes (P<.01) and concurrent validity of the test showed that high correlation coefficient between the Frequency speed of kick test (FSKT10s) (P<.01) both simple reaction speed test and choice reaction speed test. Furthermore, test-retest reliability showed that correlation coefficient between on two separated occasions that reaction speed test included simple reaction speed test and choice reaction speed test (r = 0.64-0.81; P<.01).
It could be concluded that the constructed specific reaction speed test for Taekwondo be able to measure the reaction speed for taekwondo players.
