Abstract

This study investigates the nexus between environmental conditions, precisely temperature and humidity, and Martial arts performance scores in Shandong, China. Analyzing data from 200 participants reveals significant impacts on athletes' Martial arts performance scores. The insights garnered empower athletes, trainers, and organizers to make informed decisions on training approaches, venue selection, and preparation strategies. Recognising the diverse effects of environmental factors, subsequent research may offer tailored recommendations for distinct martial arts disciplines. These findings contribute to developing targeted training strategies and preparation techniques, offering a roadmap to optimise martial arts performance scores in competitive settings
