Abstract

The purpose of this paper is, through continuous monitoring of major sports competitions, to obtain a more detailed picture of the injuries in karate sports, their frequency, degree of severity, the reasons and conditions of their occurrence, as well as analysis of the possibilities for their reduction. The injuries that are the subjects of this paper are recorded from three European championships of WSKF (The World Shotokan Karate-Do Federation) held in Stralsund, Germany in 1998, in Istanbul, Turkey in 2004, and Bucharest, Romania, in 2008. Analyzing the aforementioned championships, we concluded that most of the offensive actions were aimed at the head and neck area. In the section of the officially diagnosed injuries, according to our research, the most common by weight was light injuries and by diagnosis were light contusions.
