The athlete must move as quickly as possible into the center point while maintaining the guard position.\n2. The athlete must change direction, turn toward Partner 1, and perform a Palding kick with the left leg.\n3. The athlete must move toward Partner 2 and perform a Dollyo-Chagi kick with the right leg.\n4. The athlete must return to the center.\n5.

During the test, athletes were instructed to stand with both feet on the mat of the measurement device and jump as high as possible when the device's light signal was activated. Arm and leg swings were permitted during the jump. Care was taken to ensure that athletes landed on both feet simultaneously. The vertical jump distance for each athlete was recorded from the device's display after the jump. The test was repeated three times, with a 1-minute rest interval between attempts.

The distance from the starting line to the athlete's heels was measured in centimeters and recorded.
