The main focus of the seminar will be on the challenges and opportunities that taekwondo is facing during the coronavirus pandemic. 

Organisers are calling for submissions on topics such as physiology, nutrition, motor development, technology and innovations, psychological studies, and management. 

It is the fourth time the seminar will take place, with this year's edition set to be held virtually due to the pandemic.
