It is hypothesized that the senior and junior athletes could differ regarding their body fat percentage and physical performance profiles. Sixteen male karate kumite competitors of the national karate team (senior n = 8; junior n = 8) participated in this study. The tests applied included both the assessment of selected anthropometric variables (body height, weight and body fat percentage) and the following physical performance measurements: strength (hand grip test), power of lower extremity (vertical jump test), agility (T-test), flexibility (sit and reach test) and maximal oxygen consumption (20- m shuttle run test). The senior athletes revealed a lower body fat percentage (p < 0.05) and the differences in body fat percentage were significant. The senior athletes also demonstrated greater strength (p < 0.001) and leg power (vertical jump; p < 0.001). The findings in agility presented that senior performed better than the junior team (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in flexibility of both groups (p > 0.05). Senior athletes revealed higher in oxygen consumption (p < 0.001). It can be concluded that senior karate athletes’ physical performance are superior compared to the junior athletes. 2012-06 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/16352/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/16352/1/TM_NASREE%20NAJMI%20SR%2012_5.pdf text en public mphil masters Universiti Teknologi MARA Faculty of Sport Science and Recreation Md.
