Controlling for age did not alter any of the findings.
Specifically,
years of Taekwondo
experience remained significantly associated with a stronger belief that Taekwondo experience
impacted physical health, r = .28, p = .044, and remained uncorrelated with beliefs that such
experience impacted mental health, r = .17, p = .241. Overall mental health ratings remained
marginally correlated with years of Taekwondo experience, r = .27, p = .06. Thus, participants
with more Taekwondo experience did not rate their overall mental health more positively, nor
did they hold stronger beliefs that Taekwondo had exerted an influence on their mental health.
However, although the length of time participants had been involved in Taekwondo was not
associated with more positive overall physical health ratings, it was associated with a stronger
belief that Taekwondo was influential on their physical health.
