Key Points

This research aims to compare body composition and aerobic capacity between genders in combat sports athletes and explore the relationship with VO₂max.
Included 72 active combat sports athletes from Mersin, 37 women and 35 men.
Conducted anthropometric measurements and the Yo-Yo endurance test to assess body composition and aerobic capacity.
Measured VO₂max values from participants.
Men's VO₂max values were 53.12 ± 6.34 ml/kg/min, significantly higher than women's at 41.57 ± 1.17 ml/kg/min (p < 0.01).
Significant relationship observed between body composition variables and VO₂max in both genders.
