Abstract

Olympic combat sports (ECO) include Boxing, Judo, Taekwondo, Wrestling and currently Karate, included in the 2020 Olympics in Japan. The purpose of this field investigation is to record the body composition of high level competitive female athletes of karate, to fill a gap in the knowledge of this Olympic sport. Twenty-four high level athletes of the Federação Paulista de Karatê (FPK) of the Projeto São Paulo Olí­mpico were evaluated through a double indirect methodology to asses body composition. The athletes have body composition consistent with the competitive level evidenced by other studies with similar samples, however the number of studies in this subject is quite restricted. This research presents fundamental results for the recording and follow-up of a sample of female athletes of karate who can contribute to the design of performance strategies.
