Weight loss (WL) is common among judokas; however, most studies concentrate on non-elite competitors. This study examined the extent, methodologies, and contributing variables of WL among Olympic-level judo competitors during the qualifying cycle, positing that elevated WL scores signify detrimental practices. Research data was collected using the cross-sectional survey method. Research data was collected from 44 judokas (32 males, 12 females) rated in the top 50 globally during 2024 Antalya Grand Slam. Independent samples t-tests and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to assess between-group differences, while Spearman’s rank-order correlation coefficients were calculated to assess the relationship between variables. Male athletes had markedly elevated typical weight loss percentages, peak career weight reduction (in kg and %), and post-competition weight return compared to females. Gradual …
