Abstract
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is one of the most common motor disorder with a prevalence of approximately 6% in typical children of primary school age. This disorder is characterized by marked impairments in motor functions, however it is the poor capacity for balance and coordination that makes it a serious problem. This can not only affect the attainment of academic achievements and daily activities, but requires extra attention for the high risk of falls, limits physical activity and affects the development of other motor skills. Due to the importance of solving this disorder or at least reducing some of its consequences, there have been numerous studies with children affected by DCD in which participants follow a training protocol based on Taekwondo.
The results are optimal, and it has been demonstrated that Taekwondo could be an effective tool with which to improve the balance and coordination skills of children with DCD
