[ABSTRACT] The present study was carried out to get some data to indicate the importance of daily weight control by investigating the interrelationship among usual body weight, body composition and weight category of women's Judo. In the categories from -48kg to -56kg, there were no athletes whose usual body weights were under the limitted body weight of each category. Even in the categories between -61kg to -72kg, only a few athletes were found under the limitting weight of each category. Especially,even in the national team athletes(NTA), there were some athletes whose usual weights were over the limitting weight of their One-rank upper categories. The significant difference was not found between NTA national team athletes and the others on the mean of overweight. On the whole, the tendency was observed that overweight was more in national team athletes than that of the other. Body fat mass(%Fat) lineally increased as their categories would become higher. The %Fat of NTA were lower than those of others in all categories. The %Fat of A-ranked NTA was significantly lower than those of B-and C-ranked NTA and others. The slope of regression line between usual body weight and %Fat were ordered as A-<C-<B-NTA<others. On the relation between overweight and %Fat, most of athletes existed in the G-block (overwight was from 0kg to 5kg and %Fat was from 20% to 30%). In all athletes, on the whole, the A-ranked NTA were dotted around the lower zone on %Fat than B-, C-and others. Among the A-ranked NTA, some were found to keep their body weight around the limitted weight of their categories, constantly every year. They did not need the extra efforts on weight reduction.
