Impact of Rapid Weight Reduction on Judo Athletes: A Comprehensive Analysis
Abstract
This study examined in top male judo athletes the impact of fast weight reduction on physical and physiological measures. Over 36 hours, nineteen national-level competitors lost 5% of their body weight; then, they slept for fifteen hours. Before weight reduction and during recovery, a battery of motor ability tests and physiological examinations was carried out. Results showed mixed effects: submaximal aerobic capacity dropped even as some anaerobic performances improved. These results imply that fast weight loss plans could affect several elements of athletic performance, especially in endurance-related activities.
