Özet
ObjectiveThis study aimed to monitor acute changes in body weight and hydration status—measured via urine-specific gravity (USG) and urine color (UC)—in elite-level kickboxers during a real-world competitive environment. The research sought to provide critical insights into current weight-management practices and the prevalence of hypohydration during the pre-competition period.MethodsUsing a cohort repeated-measures design, ten elite male kickboxers (age: 20.5±2.8 years) were monitored at four distinct time points: one week before the competition (T1), one day before the official weigh-in (T2), at the official weigh-in (T3), and on the competition day (T4). Body weight was measured using a calibrated scale, and body composition was assessed via bioelectrical impedance. Hydration status was evaluated through midstream urine samples analyzed for USG and UC. Hypohydration was defined as a USG≥ …
