We aimed to discussthe most relevant aspects of rapid weight loss (RWL) in combat sports.Methods: This review was performed in the databases MedLine, Lilacs, PubMed and SciELO, and organized intosub-topics: (1) prevalence, magnitude and procedures, (2) psychological, physiological and performance effects, (3)possible strategies to avoid decreased performance (4) organizational strategies to avoid such practices.Results: There was a high prevalence (50%) of RWL, regardless the specific combat discipline.
