Introduction: Performance in taekwondo may be determined by technical, tactical factors, psychological, physical and physiological characteristics. The physical activity and physiological requirements of taekwondo competition make athletes to need several aspects of fitness, including aerobics and anaerobic power, muscular strength, muscular power, flexibility, speed and agility. The purpose of this paper was to describe and compare a selection of anthropometric and physiological specifications of female taekwondo athletes aged 25-30 years in Tehran in two Kiurogi and Poomsae styles. Methodology: Two 12-member groups of professional athletes were selected as testable subjects with average height of 165.25±1.03 cm and weight of 59.25±2.24 Kg for Kiurogi and 165.08±1.55 cm and 57.85±2.47 Kg for Poomsae. Characteristics of physical type were determined by Heath-Carter method and fatness percentage was determined by 8-point skin fold method. The subjects performed the exercise and stretching movements for body warm up. Sargent jumping, agility, aerobic and anaerobic capacity tests were performed.
Results: The findings showed that there was no significant difference between variables of physical type, physical composition, maximum oxygen consumed, explosive capability of feet and anaerobic capability peak (P≥0.05) but a significant difference between variables of site jumping, agility, and anaerobic capability average (P≤0.05) was observed. Discussion: Due to the result of this research which can divine that in Martial arts such as taekwondo, low body fat percentage and volume of muscle mass are advantages. Taekwondo athletes body type are mesomorph which have ectomorph characteristics, and endomorph rate is low. Also, due to the validity of agility, jumping, and an average of anaerobic capacity which can divine that more agility and high intensity jumps rates and also a better average of anaerobic capacity in sparring in comparison to Poomsae is required. Sparring is an explosive with a lot of changing direction and jumping while is series predetermined techniques with the same rhythm and without explosive movements in Poomsae.
