“…Therefore, it makes sense to search for an alternative criterion for athlete's categorization that can be used to control maturation in combat sport for young people and to eradicate RWL in combat sport from young to adult. In fact, the search for anthropometric variables that could exert control over the maturation in youth combat sports is recurrent and several studies have been interested in seeking anthropometric variables associated with success in judo [60][61][62][63].…”

Young judo athletes are bio-banding based on age and body mass and compete in weight classes. The purposes of this study were to investigate the influences of maturation on physical performance in young judokas through controlling the chronological age and body mass, and to examine the mediating role of anthropometric variables. Sixty-seven judokas, aged 11.0–14.7, were measured for 11 anthropometric and seven physical performance variables. Pearson partial correlations were conducted to verify the relationship between the maturational indicator and the dependent variables. Mediation analyses were performed to identify the extent to which anthropometric variables mediate the relationship. The maturation effect remained on the aerobic capacity and handgrip strength (p < 0.05). Fat mass (b = 80.335, 95%CI 11.580–204.270) and fat-free mass (b = 108.256, 95%CI 39.508–207.606) totally mediated the effect on aerobic capacity. Fat mass (b = 0.023, 95%CI 0.004–0.057), fat-free mass (b = 0.029, 95%CI 0.011–0.058), stature (b = 0.031, 95%CI 0.008–0.061), arm span (b = 0.021, 95%CI 0.003–0.044), and inferior members length (b = 0.022, 95%CI 0.005–0.049) totally mediated the effect on handgrip strength. The effect of biological maturation is noticeable even after age and body mass control, being mediated by anthropometric variables related to body composition and size.

“…Em esportes de combate, diversos estudos têm utilizado o desempenho no salto vertical com o intuito de verificar efeito de treinamento 21 , discriminar o nível competitivo [22][23] , sexo e categoria de peso 11,24 e como marcador de fadiga antes e após sequência de lutas [25][26][27][28] , como sintetizado na TABELA 4. Os valores de altura do salto obtido na presente investigação, considerando a média das categorias (45,4 ± 2,4 cm), é similar a alguns estudos 11,27 e superior aos demais [21][22]28 que analisaram esta variável para a mesma faixa etária e nível competitivo.…”

“…Em outra perspectiva e sabendo da importância da avaliação do salto vertical para a inferência da potência muscular em atletas de judô, ressalta-se que instrumentos mais simples e com custos mais baixos em relação à plataforma força podem ser utilizados, como por exemplo, tapetes de contato 21,[24][25]28 e fitas métricas 35 . Além do salto vertical, o teste de salto horizontal também pode ser utilizado a fim de identificar efeitos de treinamento de potência ao longo da periodização 34 .…”

Rev Bras Educ Fís Esporte, (São Paulo) 2017 Abr-Jun; 31(2):345-53 • 345Influência da gordura corporal no desempenho do salto IntroduçãoInfluência da gordura corporal no desempenho do salto com contramovimento em judocas de diferentes categorias de peso ResumoEste estudo teve como objetivo verificar a influência da gordura corporal nos parâmetros cinéticos do salto vertical em judocas de diferentes categorias. Participaram deste estudo 48 judocas do sexo masculino agrupados por categorias: 55-60 kg/60-66 kg (ligeiro/meio-leve), 66-73 kg/73-81 kg (leve/meio-médio) e 81-90 kg/90-100 kg (médio/meio-pesado). Os judocas realizaram saltos verticais countermovement jump (CMJ) sobre uma plataforma de força, sendo analisadas as variáveis de desempenho (altura do salto e potência), força máxima e pico de velocidade. Para análise dos dados foi utilizada análise de variância (ANOVA) e análise de covariância (ANCOVA) com o percentual de gordura como covariável. Para todos os testes foi utilizado p < 0,05. Os principais resultados mostraram que os atletas de categorias mais pesadas (81-90 kg/90-100 kg) apresentaram maior percentual de gordura (p < 0,05) e somatório de dobras (p < 0,05) quando comparado às demais categorias (55-60 kg/60-66 kg e 66-73 kg/73-81 kg). Foi encontrado menor desempenho nos judocas mais pesados em quase todas as variáveis do CMJ quando comparados com judocas de categorias mais leves, com destaque para altura do salto (55-60 kg/60-66 kg = 46,78 ± 6,05 cm; 66-73 kg/73-81 kg = 47,42 ± 4,39 cm; 81-90 kg/90-100 kg = 42,11 ± 4,11; p < 0,05). Porém, quando retirada a influência do percentual de gordura as diferenças desapareceram para a maioria das variáveis (p > 0,05). Pode-se concluir que judocas de categorias mais leves apresentaram valores superiores na maioria das variáveis do CMJ (altura do salto, potência e velocidade) quando comparados com atletas de categorias mais pesadas. Esses resultados parecem ser influenciados pelo menor percentual de gordura dos judocas mais leves.Palavras-chave: Esportes de combate; Ciclo alongamento-encurtamento; Salto com contra movimento; Potência muscular; Composição corporal.O judô é considerado um esporte aberto e acícli-co, no qual variáveis táticas e técnicas

Study aim: Understanding the morphological determinants of performance is important for talent identification and optimization of training programs. The aim of this study was to examine the morphological characteristics of male and female cadet judokas considering the sex-related differences and athletic achievements. Material and methods: Seventy-four (30 female and 44 male) cadet judokas from the Bulgarian National Team underwent an anthropometric assessment of height, weight, lengths, circumferences, and 8 skinfolds. Body fat percentage (%BF) was calculated using Slaughter et al. skinfold equations. Absolute and relative muscle mass, and arm and thigh muscle circumferences were also evaluated. Results: Except for the lower limb circumferences and thigh muscle circumference, a significant difference in most body dimensions was observed between the sexes. Male cadets had lower body fatness, but greater muscle mass as compared to female cadets. Medal winners from both sexes had lower %BF as compared to non-medalists. Male judokas with higher athletic achievements were significantly taller and had a larger arm span than their counterparts who are non-medalists (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Identified apparent sex-specific differences in almost all anthropometric variables and body composition parameters in adolescent judo cadets followed the pattern typical for adult athletes. Both male and female medal-winner cadets had lower %BF compared to the less successful athletes, but did not differ from them in the absolute and relative muscle mass and limb muscle circumferences. Our results suggest that maintenance of low body fat rather than higher muscle mass is essential for the competitive success of judo players.
