One hundred and sixty-four participants completed the questionnaire, with 158 valid responses obtained.

In unadjusted analyses, three nominal associations were observed, with medalists reporting greater habitual WL%, greater habitual WL% during the 9\u201360 days prior to weigh-in, and lower habitual WR\/WL before competition than non-medalists. However, none remained statistically significant after Benjamini\u2013Hochberg false discovery rate (FDR) adjustment. No statistically significant difference were observed for the other WL practices and perceptions variables (all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&gt;\u20090.05).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>WL practices and perceptions were similar between national-level medalists and non-medalists. Although three nominal associations were identified in the unadjusted analyses, none remained statistically significant after Benjamini\u2013Hochberg FDR\u00a0adjustment. The present findings therefore do not provide robust evidence of systematic differences in WL characteristics according to medal achievement. The high prevalence and substantial magnitude of WL observed in this population warrant attention, particularly among adolescent athletes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0359088","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,24]],"date-time":"2026-09-24T17:25:57Z","timestamp":1790270757000},"page":"e0359088","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Differences in weight loss practices and perceptions between medalists and non-medalists in national-level adolescent Sanda athletes"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Xu","family":"Han","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Harbin, China"],"department":["Sports Teaching and Research Department"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-6781-6644","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jianpeng","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Harbin, China"],"department":["Sports Teaching and Research Department"]},{"name":"Shanghai University of Sport","place":["Shanghai, China"],"department":["School of Athletic Performance"]},{"name":"Shanghai University of Sport","place":["Shanghai, China"],"department":["School of Coaching"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1120-6592","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Carl","family":"Langan-Evans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Liverpool John Moores University","place":["Liverpool, United Kingdom"],"department":["School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, Tom Reilly Building"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5762-332X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Anthony","family":"Weldon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Birmingham City University","place":["Birmingham, United Kingdom"],"department":["Centre for Life and Sport Sciences"]},{"name":"Aston Villa Foundation","place":["Birmingham, United Kingdom"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8543-4489","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jad Adrian","family":"Washif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut Sukan Negara (National Sports Institute of Malaysia)","place":["Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia"],"department":["Sports Performance Division"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9628-0606","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Nemanja","family":"Lakicevic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lomonosov Moscow State University","place":["Moscow, Russia"],"department":["Faculty of Psychology"]},{"name":"Federal Scientific Center of Psychological and Interdisciplinary Research","place":["Moscow, Russia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yukun","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dali University","place":["Dali, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shaoyun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaolin Tagou Wushu School","place":["Zhengzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mengfan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wushu college, Henan University","place":["Kaifeng, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haidong","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai University of Sport","place":["Shanghai, China"],"department":["School of Martial Arts"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-9672-8067","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yuming","family":"Zhong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai University of Sport","place":["Shanghai, China"],"department":["School of Athletic Performance"]},{"name":"Shanghai University of Sport","place":["Shanghai, China"],"department":["School of Coaching"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0359088.ref001","unstructured":"Federation IW.
