“…The head and face are parts that are most likely to be affected by attacks compared to the trunk. These results agree with previous study (Reza, S et al, 2021), which showed that 76.7% of the attacks were to the head and 23.3% were to the trunk. However, they disagree with the results of a study by Laird & McLeod (2009) who showed that 54% of the attacks were targeted to the opponent's trunk and only 35% were to the opponent's face and head, while 11% were to the penalty area.…”

“…The third minute, with 45.4% of attacks, was the highest intensity time in the competition, while the first minute, with 23.1% attacks, was the lowest intensity. These results agree with those of our previous study, in the third one minute with 46.7% attack was the most intense duration in world championships and world karate league competitions in 2018 and 2019, and the first minute with 18.4% attacks was the least intense duration (Reza, S et al, 2021). This indicates that in the first minute, the players are getting to know each other and are finding the right target to attack and are strategizing the exact time to execute it.…”

This study primarily aimed to conduct an observational analysis of Olympic finalists’ performance to determine the patterns and characteristics of karate at the highest level of competition. Due to the need for a complete analytical system, we can use this study to create useful information about the planning process based on winning strategies. The research is based on an analysis of athletes who go to the final of the Tokyo Olympic Games. Thirty fights in the male competition were analysed. Prevalence, percentage frequency, and nonparametric tests were used (Fisher’s exact test, the likelihood ratio test, and Pearson’s chi-square test) for data analysis. Quantity indicators showed that male karate athletes tend to use upper limb karate techniques (53.70%) more than lower limb (35.65%) and a combination (upper and lower or lower and upper limb 10.65%). The difference in scoring by two tactical models of attack and counterattack was significant, and 69.2% of the points were scored by attacking. Moreover, the results suggest a predominant scoring technique using the Kisami-Tsuki model has the highest number of attacks. Considering these characteristics can provide important indicators for technical and tactical coaches and physical trainers to design special training conditions for their athletes.
