“…The problem with most of the previous studies on the kinanthropometric attributes of combat sports is that they were either concentrated on a limited spectrum of morphological characteristics or were conducted in the absence of one of the somatotype characteristics, anthropometric and/or body compositions 1,2,12,13 . As such, the present study aimed to examine the kinanthropometric attributes of three martial art disciplines (i.e., judo, karate, and taekwondo) and to juxtapose as well as to compare the kinanthropometric attributes of these three disciplines to determine if a significant difference exists among elite male athletes.…”

Introduction: It is well known that the body composition of an athlete plays a critical role in sports performance. However, although many studies exist concerning the kinanthropometric attributes of mainstream sports, few studies are forthcoming on individual martial arts disciplines, especially in elite athletes. Objective: This study aimed at establishing the kinanthropometric attributes of Judo, Karate, and Taekwondo athletes. Methods: Thirty-eight elite male Judo (n=42, mean age: 21.7±2.9 years), Taekwondo (n=46, mean age: 21.1±2.6 years) and Karate (n=50, mean age: 21.3±3.0 years) athletes were chosen randomly. The study determined and compared stature, body mass (BM), body mass index (BMI), fat mass (FM), lean body mass (LBM), body surface area (BSA), sum of skinfolds (∑SK3), percentage body fat (%BF), and somatotype. Results: The findings of the present study demonstrate that although within normal levels, the sampled Judo athletes have significantly (p<0.05) higher FM, ∑SK3 (particularly at the triceps and subscapular skinfold sites), %BF and lower percentage LBM that either the Taekwondo and Karate athletes. In addition, the sampled Judo athletes displayed a more significant (p<0.05) endomorphic somatotype when compared to the Taekwondo and Karate athletes. Conclusions: These findings are essential in determining the optimal kinanthropometric attributes of elite male Judo, Karate, and Taekwondo athletes and may assist in the context of talent identification.

“…More specifically, padel game dynamics and match outcome could be exclusively analyzed for the final period of close (i.e., balance score) matches (Gomez, Gasperi, & Lupo, 2016). In addition, further studies on the analysis of physical performances (i.e., countermovement jump and handgrip) before and after official matches (Chiodo, Tessitore, Cortis, Lupo Ammendolia, & Capranica, 2012), time motion analysis (Conte, Favero, Lupo, Francioni, Capranica, & Tessitore, 2015) and game-based conditioning tests (Conte, Tessitore, Smiley, Thomas, & Favero (2016), physiological and psychological aspects (Casolino, Cortis, Lupo, Chiodo, Minganti, & Capranica, 2012), or integrated analyses which simultaneously consider heart rate, motion, and technical and tactical aspects (Lupo, Capranica, Cugliari, Gómez, & Tessitore, 2016), could substantially improve the knowledge of this emerging sport.…”

The present study aimed at analyzing the technical and tactical aspects of professional padel matches in relation to gender and match outcome. For this purpose, a notational analysis was performed on 22 official matches of the World Padel Tour 2016 by means of 18 technical and tactical indicators. A non-parametric approach was applied to evaluate differences (P ≤ 0.05) between gender and match outcome subgroups. For gender, differences emerged for the occurrence (P<0.001) and duration (P<0.001) of rallies, backhand strokes (P=0.02) and backhand volley (P=0.027), strokes close to net (P=0.001) and from midfield zone (P=0.012), smashes determining ball out (P<0.001), and first service faults (P<0.001). For match outcome, a difference was found only for the occurrence of winning rallies (in general: P<0.001; in female performance: P=0.009; in male performance: P=0.001). Although findings highlight that padel performance can be discriminated only for gender, whereas winning and losing performances resulted similar, probably for the influence of different playing styles, this study could represent a valuable reference for further analyses and more effective padel training plans. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar aspectos técnicos y tácticos en pádel profesional en relación con el género y el resultado final del partido. Para ello, se realizó un análisis notacional de 22 partidos oficiales del circuito profesional World Padel Tour 2016 registrando 18 indicadores técnicos y tácticos. Se llevó a cabo un aná-lisis no paramétrico de los datos para comparar las diferencias (P ≤ 0.05) entre los subgrupos de género y resultado final. Para el género, se encontraron diferencias en el número (P<0.001) y duración (P<0.001) de los rallies, golpes de revés (P=0.02) y voleas de revés (P=0.027), golpes cerca de la red (P<0.001) y golpes desde la zona intermedia del campo (P=0.012), remates ganadores por bola fuera del campo (P<0.001) y faltas de primer saque (P<0.001). Para el resultado del partido, se encontraron diferencias únicamente en el número de rallies ganadores (en general: P<0.001; en mujeres: P=0.009; en hombres: P=0.001). Los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto importantes diferencias en el rendimiento de pádel en cuanto al género, observando resultados similares entre ganadores y perdedores probablemente como consecuencia de diferentes estilos de juego. Este estudio por tanto puede servir como referencia válida para el desarrollo tanto de futuros análisis como de planes de entrenamiento más efectivos en pádel.Palabras clave: indicadores técnicos; indicadores tácticos; frecuencia cardiac; contramovimiento; prensión manual.

“…The difference between karate and taekwondo athletes during the SJ, CMJ, and 5JT may be a consequence of the frequent use of kicks by the taekwondo athletes. In fact, much emphasis is placed on lower-limb power generation, which is necessary to generate powerful kicks in taekwondo [17]. This emphasis on kicks could result in a better lowerlimb endurance rather than power development.…”
