Abstract

Para-taekwondo (PTKD) is a modality derived from Olympic taekwondo that allows the practice of people with several types of disabilities, however, in the Paralympic Games only individuals with physical disabilities of the upper limbs are included. These parathletes are divided into sport classes, being K41 for bilateral amputation above or through the elbow, and K44 for unilateral amputation or decreased muscle strength. As it is a recent inclusion in the Paralympic program, the aspects related to scientific production should be stimulated, In this sense, the objective of this study is to review the scientific production about PTKD and suggest directions for future studies. Studies were identified from a systematic search in five databases, without limitations of language and date of publication. The papers were analyzed for frequency in 9 study areas and summarized according to the study areas established by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). A total of 38 papers were included in the study. Characterization of the sport, social aspects and performance were the main areas of concentration of the studies. Among the types of disability, studies involving physical disability predominated (19 studies). Most of the studies are published in English (16 studies), followed by Portuguese and Spanish (9 studies). We conclude that little attention has been paid to the other types of disability eligible for PTKD practice. We suggest that future critical evaluation by expert researchers regarding their specific questions would help guide researchers to provide relevant research.
