Taekwondo, entrenador, infancia, adolescencia, formación profesionalResumen
La enseñanza del taekwondo infantil suele asociarse al dominio técnico acreditado por el cinturón negro; las exigencias actuales del entrenamiento deportivo, el desarrollo evolutivo y la protección integral de la niñez demandan competencias profesionales que trascienden la certificación técnica tradicional. El objetivo de la investigación fue analizar críticamente las competencias profesionales requeridas para la enseñanza del taekwondo en niños, niñas y adolescentes. Se realizó una revisión narrativa crítica de literatura científica y normativa sobre entrenamiento deportivo infantil, formación de entrenadores, desarrollo evolutivo, pedagogía, psicología y protección integral aplicadas al taekwondo formativo. Se evidenció que la enseñanza del taekwondo en edades formativas requiere competencias científicas, pedagógicas, psicológicas y jurídicas complementarias al dominio técnico; las acreditaciones deportivas certifican conocimientos específicos de la disciplina, pero no garantizan preparación suficiente para planificar, enseñar, proteger y acompañar adecuadamente el desarrollo integral de niños, niñas y adolescentes. Se concluye que la enseñanza del taekwondo infantil constituye una responsabilidad profesional multidimensional que exige integrar conocimientos científicos, pedagógicos, psicológicos y éticos, superando una visión centrada exclusivamente en la acreditación técnica deportiva.
