Abstract

Background Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a chronic neurodevelopmental movement disorder that affects 5-8% of primary school-aged children in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China. These children have a delay in skeletal development associated with reduced activity level. Taekwondo training has been acknowledged to improve bone health in young individuals. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of a novel, adapted taekwondo training regime on skeletal development and motor proficiency in children with DCD.
