Özet:

 This study aims to determine the prevalence of rapid weight loss RWL methods in different combat sports. Active male and female athletes from wrestling, taekwondo, boxing, and kickboxing participated in a two-phase study Reliability study n93; main study n271. The first phase involved the Turkish adaptation, validity, and reliability study of the Rapid Weight Loss Questionnaire RWL-Q developed by Artioli et al 2010. In the second phase, the RWL-Q was utilized to determine the preferred weight loss methods and their prevalence among different combat athletes. The results indicated that 88.6 of the combat athletes Wrestling: 79.3, kickboxing: 91.2, taekwondo: 88.7, and boxing: 98.3 lose weight before the competition. The RWL scores in kickboxing 43.40  14.22 were similar to those in taekwondo 39.94  11.22 p0.05, but higher compared to RWL in wrestling 34.11  13.28 p0.000 and boxing 34.03  8.46 p0.000. Coaches and fellow athletes were the main influencers encouraging the use of RWL methods. The most common methods preffered by athletes were increasing exercise 41.3 and gradual dieting 31.8. However, boxers showed a tendency towards more aggressive methods, like spitting 59.3, sauna 47.5 and vomiting 42.4, which differed from other combat sports. In conclusion, this research highlights a high prevalence of RWL methods among combat athletes, with coaches and fellow athletes playing significant roles in influencing their adoption. Therefore, it is evident that athletes and coaches need to be informed about the detrimental effects of rapid weight loss methods in order to increase their awareness and develop alternative weight loss strategies.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklı mücadele sporlarında hızlı kilo düşme HKD yöntemlerinin kullanım sıklığını belirlemektir. İki evreden oluşan çalışmaya güreş, taekwondo, boks ve kickboks branşlarından birinde aktif kadın ve erkek sporcular katılmıştır Güvenirlik çalışması n93; ana çalışma n271. Birinci evrede, sporcuların HKD yöntemlerini uygulama durumlarını saptayan, Artioli ve arkadaşları tarafından 2010 yılında geliştirilen, HKD Anketinin Türkçe uyarlaması, geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması yapılmıştır. İkinci evrede ise HKD anketi kullanılarak farklı mücadele sporlarında tercih edilen HKD yöntemleri ve kullanım sıklıkları belirlenmiştir. Mücadele sporcularının 88,6sı Güreş: 79,3, kickboks: 91,2, taekwondo: 88,7 ve boks: 98,3 müsabaka öncesi kilo verdiğini belirtmiştir. HKD puanları; kickboks branşında 43,40  14,22, taekwondo 39,94  11,22 branşına benzer p0,05, güreş 34,11  13,28 p0,000 ve boks 34,03  8,46 p0,000 branşlarına kıyasla daha yüksek bulunmuştur. HKD yöntemlerinin kullanımını teşvik eden bireylerin başında antrenör Çok etkili : kickboks: 63,1; taekwondo: 54,8; güreş: 47,6 ve branş arkadaşları Çok etkili : boks: 44,1; taekwondo: 43,5; kickboks: 39,7 gelmektedir. En sık tercih edilen HKD yöntemleri incelendiğinde tüm katılımcılar egzersizi arttırma 41,3 ve kademeli diyeti 31,8 her zaman seçerken; diğer branşlardan farklı olarak boksörlerin tükürme 59,3, sauna 47,5 ve kusma 42,4 gibi daha agresif yöntemleri tercih ettiği görülmüştür. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarından yola çıkılarak, tüm mücadele sporlarında yüksek prevelansa sahip HKD yöntemlerinin olumsuz etkilerine dair sporcu ve antrenörlerin bilgilendirilmesi, farkındalıklarının artırılması ve alternatif kilo düşme stratejilerinin geliştirilmesi gerektiği anlaşılmaktadır.
