The authors consider closed curves in a \(CAT(K)\) space with given circumradius and upper bound on the curvature. They obtain a sharp lower bound on the length with a discussion when the bound is obtained. They prove a similar result for nonclosed curves, where the circumradius is replaced by the breadth of the curve.
