Objective of the study was to rate the highly coordinated kicks (HCK) execution trends based on the sport elite`s competitive performance analysis. Methods and structure of the study. The experimental study was run at "Dolphin" Secondary School in St. Petersburg. We analyzed video replays of 67 sparring bouts of the leading national team members (World/ European championship competitors) for the period of 2018-2020. We mined and analyzed the highly coordinated kicks execution and success data for analysis. Results and discussion. The study found that most successful (more often rated as scoring kicks) in the modern elite taekwondo sparring bouts are the 180° Back Kick "Dwit Chagi" attempts than the 360° Reverse Side Kick "Bandae Yeop Chagi" and 540° Roundhouse Kick "Dollyeo Chagi" ones; with the kicks executed more often to the body than to the head. Success of the scoring kicks in sparring bouts depends on the kick speed, accuracy and timing. Therefore, we would recommend for the coaches and competitors making a special emphasis in trainings on the 180° Back Kick excellence techniques since these kicks are more likely to score in competitions.
