Abstract
Exploring effective training methods to reliably trigger scoring in electronic protective gear is a significant challenge faced by coaches and athletes, and it constitutes a critical research direction that urgently demands scientific exploration. To improve the scientific precision of daily Taekwondo training and enhance competitive performance more efficiently and to improve the effectiveness of daily Taekwondo training and enhance competitive performance, a hydrogel-based flexible pressure-sensing film was developed. This film would enable traditional Taekwondo protective gear with electronic sensing capabilities via a simple adhesion method. By attaching a low-cost, high-precision, and appropriately flexible gel-based pressure-sensing film to conventional protective gear through a straightforward adhesion approach, it can attain sensing performance comparable to that of specialized…
