Featured Application: This paper highlights the importance of young athletes’ testing and comparison to correct variables of available normative values in upper body Wingate testing. Therefore, we must be careful which results (absolute or relative) we compare to the established normative values. In our case, we recommend comparing relative values of body mass to available judo upper body classificatory tables for youth judokas. Moreover, anaerobic-focused training is recommended for young athletes in judo. Additionally, these data can be used to develop young athletes’ normative values for the upper body Wingate test via meta-analysis. Judo elements rely on lower and upper body muscle power, supported by the ATP-PCr energy system, which is crucial in high-intensity tasks. This study aims to assess the anaerobic status of young male competitive judokas using the upper body Wingate test and explore associations with competition performance and individual morphological characteristics. A total of 29 male judokas from the U18 and U20 age categories were tested, all actively participating in top-tier national and international competitions. Anthropometric characteristics and body composition measurements were obtained for all participants through bioelectrical impedance analysis. Anaerobic testing was conducted using the upper body Wingate test with a hand ergometer. Competition performance was recorded from the final national cup ranking list. The results presented no statistically significant correlations between morphological and anaerobic variables and competitive performance among selected participants. This highlights the importance of the necessity of updated training programs to increase the anaerobic performance of young Slovenian judokas. Additionally, it shows that in these age groups, anaerobic performance is not the crucial factor but just one piece of the puzzle in young judokas’ successful competition performance; therefore other variables should be further researched.
