Main Article Content
Introduction: Grit is a dispositional trait that refers to individual differences in the tendency to work hard to achieve long-term goals and to maintain effort and interest over years despite failure, adversity, and setbacks in progress. Objective: To identify differences by sex and category in the level of grit in a sample of Colombian taekwondo practitioners. Methodology: A non-experimental quantitative study of descriptive and correlational nature, with a cross-sectional design, conducted in a population of Colombian taekwondo practitioners. Grit levels were assessed using the scale of this construct. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were performed to determine differences by sex and category in Colombian taekwondo practitioners. Results: Grit levels, perseverance, and consistency of interest are similar between men and women in this sample. Both grit and perseverance show identical medians and non-significant p-values (p <0.406 and p <0.315 respectively). Consistency of interest is also similar between both sexes, with p-values <0.843. Likewise, grit levels are similar in all three categories, with a common median of 3.25 and consistent percentile values. No statistically significant differences were found between categories for grit, perseverance, and consistency of interest, as their p-values exceed the typical threshold of statistical significance. Conclusions: The results revealed that there were no significant differences between sexes and categories, indicating notable consistency and little variability in grit levels within this population.
