Purpose. To analyze the competitive activity of qualified female taekwondo athletes in light-weight categories. Materials and Methods. The study employed the following scientific methods: theoretical analysis and synthesis of literature sources; pedagogical observation; video-computer analysis; and methods of mathematical statistics. The competitive activity of qualified female taekwondo athletes in the light-weight category (up to 49 kg) was analyzed using the mobile application «Martial Arts Video Analysis». A total of 30 competitive bouts of female athletes at the 2023 and 2024 World Championships and the 2023 European Cup were examined. Results. The analysis of competitive activity revealed that winners performed on average 20.43 actions per fight, which is 15 % more than the defeated athletes. The average number of points scored by winners was 6.97 per fight, almost twice as many as those scored by the losers. The average overall efficiency was 24.87 %. The effectiveness of technical and tactical actions in the first part of the fight was 18.41 %, in the second part – 27.27 %, and in the third part – 24.52 %. The interval between actions averaged 6.51 seconds. The diversity of actions was 2.67 per round. Regression analysis did not reveal statistically significant predictors, but there was a tendency toward significance for «Efficiency per fight» (p=0.072) and «Diversity of actions» (p=0.073). Analysis of specific technical and tactical actions showed that the weighted efficiency of winners (30 %) was almost twice that of losers (15.7 %). Three main technical and tactical actions accounted for 75 % of all points scored by winners, namely: Yop chagi (middle level) (1.77 points, 29 % of total), Ap joomuk chugi (close distance) (1.70 points, 28 % of total), and Ap joomuk chugi (long distance) (1.10 points, 18 % of total). Conclusions. The analysis of competitive activity in martial arts is crucial for predicting athletes’ success in competitions and for improving training methodologies. Success in competition largely depends on the effectiveness of an athlete’s technical and tactical performance. In the second part of the fight, light-weight female taekwondo athletes demonstrated an increase in technical and tactical activity and higher quality execution. Winners exhibited greater diversity in their technical and tactical repertoire (2.67 per round) compared to losers (1.57 per round). Logistic regression results indicated a tendency toward statistical significance for «Efficiency per fight» (p=0.072) and «Diversity of actions» (p=0.073), underscoring the importance of these indicators for competitive success. Three key technical and tactical actions provided 75% of the winners’ total points: Yop chagi (middle level), Ap joomuk chugi (close distance), and Ap joomuk chugi (long distance).
