Home advantage was observed supporting Asian athletes. Winners applied a higher number of throws than losers. Conclusions: To the detriment of grappling actions (throws), female international level Wushu Sanda athletes predominantly used striking motor actions (punches and kicks). Color bias was observed supporting athletes who wore red (χ 2=8.52, p=0.004), which won a higher number of matches (65%). Home advantage was observed supporting Asian athletes (χ 2=10.12, p=0.038). No differences were found in motor behavior among distinct competitive phases (F(3 88)=1.87 p=0.140 η 2 p=0.06). The number of throwing techniques applied on the first and second rounds was higher in winners (F=10.24, p=0.002 and F=7.82, p=0.006 respectively). Athletes applied 11☘.67 punches, 10.7±5.63 kicks and 1.1☑.6 throws per round. Results: From all applied motor actions, 48.2% were punches, 46.9% were kicks and 4.8% were throws. All the motor actions were registered for each athlete, aside of match outcome, clothing color and continent of origin. Each match was analyzed twice, and were considered 22 possible techniques (5 types of punches, 5 types of kicks and 12 different throws). Material and methods: In an observational study were analyzed 46 matches involving 55 athletes. Objective: The aim of this study was to quantify the motor actions and the color bias and home advantage existence possibility in female matches from the 13 th World Wushu Championships, held in Indonesia, 2015. Despite its popularity, the knowledge about its technical and psychophysiological aspects are scarce.
