Background. In Taekwondo, mastering the dollyo chagi (roundhouse kick) is crucial for performance, yet many novice athletes struggle with technique. Objectives. This study aims to investigate the impact of dollyo chagi training using modified goals and pyongyo on athletes’ skills. Methods. This study employs an experimental approach to examine the skills involved in executing the dollyo chagi kick. The research design follows a "Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design," where a pretest is conducted prior to the intervention, and a posttest is administered afterward. This design enables an accurate comparison between the experimental group, which undergoes training with modified goals and pyongyo, and the control group, which does not receive the intervention. Results. The improvement in skills in the experimental group reached 57.47% (Mean Difference 10), while the control group was only 23.17% (Mean Difference 3.8). Data analysis showed a change in the percentage of posttest results compared to pretest in two groups. For the experimental group, a significant increase was recorded at 57.47%, with a posttest score of 27.40 and pretest score of 17.40. On the other hand, the control group experienced a lower increase, namely 23.17%, with a posttest score of 20.20 and pretest score of 16.40. These results indicate that the intervention applied to the experimental group had a greater impact compared to the control group. Conclusion. The research results indicate that dollyo chagi training using modified and pyongyo-based goals has a significant impact on improving dollyo chagi kicking skills in Taekwondo athletes. The superiority of the training method applied in the experimental group can be attributed to a more specific and targeted approach to enhancing dollyo chagi techniques. © 2025, Society of Aging and Physical Activity (SAPA).
