Relationship between Leadership Types of Taekwondo Instructors and Immersion on Exercise

Objectives: This study was conducted to clarify the relationship between the leadership types of Taekwondo instructors and immersion in exercise. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The subjects of this study were 184 Taekwondo students in Jeonbuk, Jeonnam, and Gwangju who responded to a survey. The data were processed via exploratory factor analysis, reliability verification, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. Findings: First of all, the correlation between leadership types of Taekwondo instructors and immersion in exercise turned out to be positive for all sub-variables. Secondly, among leadership types of Taekwondo instructors, training order behavior and assumption-based behavior most influenced the recognition of clear goals and the ability for self control. Training order behavior, assumption-based behavior, and social supporting behavior influenced ecstasy. Application /Improvement: Assumption-based behavior and positive compensating behavior influenced changes in temporal sense, and assumption-based behavior influenced the experience of self-driven goals. Given the aforementioned conclusions, we infer that assumption-based behavior among leadership types of Taekwondo instructors is effective in improving the immersion of Taekwondo players in exercise.
