Resumen

Este breve informe describe el proceso de creación del Combat Sports Special Interest Group (CSSIG), su primera reunión en el 28th Annual Congress of the European College of Sport Science (ECSS, París, 4 al 7 de julio de 2023), y realiza una llamada a la acción para los próximos eventos. El primer contacto entre el grupo que propuso la creación de la CSSIG se realizó tras una sesión del Congreso Anual de la ECSS celebrada en 2022, pero la idea y el formato de la propuesta se inició en enero de 2023. Tras su aprobación, el CSSIG fijó los temas para su primera reunión. Durante la edición de 2023 del ECSS, el evento contó con ocho grupos de interés especial, entre ellos el CSSIG. La primera reunión del CSSIG incluyó la presentación de sus objetivos y dos presentaciones breves: una relacionada con la salud de los deportistas de combate y otra sobre la evaluación y seguimiento del entrenamiento de los deportistas de judo. El objetivo del CSSIG es establecer una red sostenible que fomente la investigación y la práctica de los deportes de combate basada en la evidencia, con el fin de: (a) promover la salud y la seguridad de los participantes en deportes de combate, (b) mejorar su rendimiento, y (c) mejorar las prácticas de entrenamiento y competición. Así, este informe es también una llamada a la acción para los próximos eventos.
