Abstract
Judo is an increasingly demanding sport, requiring athletes to achieve excellent physical fitness and condition for competition [1,2]. This study aimed to identify key indicators of judo performance in the Azerbaijan National Judo squad. Using a cross-sectional design, the study compared the physiological profiles of high-ranked and lowranked judokas. Despite no statistically significant differences found in body composition, cardiovascular fitness, and anaerobic capacity between the groups, the study emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach when evaluating factors influencing success in judo. Future research should explore non-physiological and psychological factors to gain a comprehensive understanding of success determinants in judo. In summary, this study's novelty lies in comparing the physiological profiles of high-ranked and low-ranked judokas, comprehensively assessing body composition and cardiovascular fitness, acknowledging the multifaceted nature of judo performance, and considering contextual factors.
