Background: Judo is an Olympic sport where physical
fitness is of great importance as well as technique and tactics. Physical and
physiological conditions of the athletes are very important for a better judo
performance and there is still a need for more data related to these
determinants. The aim of this study was to investigate relationship between
body composition, some performance variables and Special Judo Fitness level of
Turkish cadet judo athletes. Materials and Methods: 10 female and 10 male cadet
judo athletes ( Aged 14.8±0.2) voluntarily participated in this study. Body
compositions of the athletes were determined with bioelectrical impedance device
(Tanita MC-980). Squat and active jumps were carried out by using Optojump and
a treadmill (Monark) was used for Wingate anaerobic power test. Special Judo
Fitness Test (SJFT) was carried out to evaluate judo specific performance.
Statistical significance was set at a p<0.05 level and data are expressed as
mean±standard error of the mean and Pearson product correlation was used to
verify the relationship between variables. Results: Perfect negative
correlation between SJFT index and total throw numbers (r=-0,94; p<0,01),
moderate positive correlation between total throw numbers and peak power
(r=0,38;p<0,05), moderate negative correlation between squat jump, active
jump and fat percentage (r=-0,45, -0,55 respectively; p<0,01), large and
very large negative correlation between peak power, average power and fat
percentage (r=-0,66, r=-0,73 respectively; p<0,01) were found. Discussion:
In conclusion, the more anaerobic power judo athletes have the better SJFT
index they present. Moreover, lower fat percentage means better anaerobic
performance. Thus, more anaerobic based trainings should be included to
training programs and lowering body fat can be advised.
