Abstract
Karate is considered one of the most popular martial arts in which the number of participants and established clubs is constantly increasing. The World Karate Federation is one of the largest international governing bodies with 198 member countries and over 10 million members. The competition is constantly increasing, and coaches, in their desire for the success of their athletes, often overdo their training. This leads to sports injuries that keep athletes away from martial arts gyms, thereby impairing their sports form and achieving the desired, optimal sports results. Sports injuries are all those that occurred during sports activities or exercise, and the causes are usually mechanical. Sports injuries are all those that occurred during sports activities or exercise, and the causes are usually mechanical. The aim of the paper is to determine the type and frequency of injuries in karate and to identify the causes of their frequency in the system of training and competition. The obtained results of the research will help in the formation of proposals for preventive action in the case of the most frequent injuries that can be determined to be the result of the specific impact of training and competition.
