The reliability of the indicators was obtained through Cronbach's alpha test of 0.89. Finally, a questionnaire based on pairwise comparisons of indicators and the degree of preference of one based on the other according to Thomas Saati's spectrum was used to rank the karate federation's performance evaluation indicators. Calculating the compatibility rate in AHP is a useful guide to measure the validity of the participants' points of view in decision making. Single sample t-test was used and Friedman's ranking test was used to rank the questions of each index. The decision rule is determined at the statistical confidence level of 95% and the critical alpha is 0.05. All statistical operations are performed using SPSS software. AHP method and expert choice software were used to prioritize the indicators.
