After a semester (15 weeks) of Taekwondo experiment intervention, the authors revealed the following findings: the total average score for the sense of shyness of the college students in the experiment group after experiment was significantly lower than that before experiment, which means that after Taekwondo intervention, the sense of shyness of the college students was significantly lower than that before experiment; the total average scores for physical harmony, sports activity, body obesity, athletic ability, physique, appearance, strength, agility, stamina, self-respect and the concept of physical self were significantly higher than those before experiment; in terms of the physical health factor, the difference were not significant, but the average score after experiment was higher than that before experiment.
