Movement in taekwondo is highly correlated with impact on the pelvic floor muscles (PFM). On this area of expertise there are few studies, especially specific studies in taekwondo. A similar training program has not yet been publicly issued, therefore we constructed a program, that could be used as a basis for the next studies. The purpose of this thesis was to use the training of PFM in taekwondo; to include it into a training process and to develop a suitable program for it. We have described what PFM are and their function and the effects that have influence on PFM, where and why they appear in taekwondo and how we can minimize the risk of injury. We have described when it is an appropriate time to use cyclization, which movements are included, what are the basic kicks and muscle groups in taekwondo. The program was built for the present season, for a specific competitor. We have included all competitions the selected competitor wants to attend. Because the high frequency of competitions in taekwondo is something usual, we can say, that the program is adjusted to this and therefore suitable for the average competitor. We wanted to develop a program that can increase core stability strength and therefore maybe minimize risk of injury in the sport, where there is a lot of jumps and physical contact and a high risk of injury. We presented cyclization, described it by periods, constructed a detailed microcycle and its training units. We also included clear instructions for a successful performance of the program. The described microcycle and detailed designed training units are intended for further research on this field. A successful performance of the program and its enforcement would potentially mean a healthier and more efficient approach for the average competitor.
