“…Additionally, previous investigations evaluated dynamic strength through the application of 1RM and absolute 1RM tests, which are closely linked to combat performance (Campos et al, 2022;da Silva Junior et al, 2022;Lima et al, 2017). In contrast, common measurement protocols for power included countermovement jump, standing long jump, medicine ball throw, and vertical jump (Coswig et al, 2018;Detanico et al, 2021). Nevertheless, while these studies emphasize the significance of absolute strength and power, future research should consider the sesx dimension (Brandt et al, 2021; and the athlete's body mass since performance is intrinsically linked to an athlete's body mass, particularly within the context of the eight official weight divisions stipulated by the IBJJF (2015).…”

“…For instance, some studies included specific training volume requirements, such as three months of uninterrupted training with a frequency of three times a week (Coswig et al, 2018), while others required a minimum weekly frequency of 2-3 times a week (Detanico et al, 2021). Interestingly, the inclusion of competition participation as a criterion varied across studies, with some studies not specifying the federation (Coswig et al, 2018;Detanico et al, 2021), whereas others explicitly mentioned participation in the European Open Jiu-Jitsu Championship organized by the IBJJF (Diaz-Lara et al, 2014). Clarification on the type of federation an athlete belongs to, along with other relevant information about recruitment and selection criteria, could have influenced sample quality.…”

A systematic review with meta-analysis on the dynamic strength and muscle power in elite and non-elite Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) athletes is essential to provide a comprehensive and quantitative evaluation of the physical attributes critical for performance, allowing for a better understanding of the training needs and physical characteristics that distinguish different levels of athletes in this sport. Therefore, this study endeavors to comprehensively synthesize existing literature on muscle strength and power in the context of BJJ, making a comparative analysis between elite and non-elite athletes. The research was conducted up to April 20, 2022, employing the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol to systematically search electronic databases using the keywords: "Brazilian Jiu-jitsu" or "BJJ" or "Jiu-jitsu" and "power" or "muscle power" or "physical fitness" or "muscle strength" or "strength." Following a rigorous selection process, 26 articles were included in the systematic review. Subsequently, the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations) tool was employed for evidence assessment. The primary assessments of dynamic strength encompassed protocols involving the Bench press, squat, and pull-up-gi. In the context of muscle power, the meta-analysis considered parameters such as the countermovement jump (CMJ), standing long jump, and variables derived from jump power assessed on the force platform, including Peak velocity, peak power, mean power, and maximum force. The data showed a substantial effect size for strength [1.012 (p≤0.0001)] and a moderate effect size for power [0.619 (p≤0.0001)], indicating superior performance among elite athletes compared to their non-elite counterparts. Although power is predominant in most BJJ actions, strength emerges as a crucial element distinguishing elite from non-elite athletes in this sport. This realization carries significant implications for training and injury prevention, as both strength and power necessitate specialized training to enhance performance in the sport.

“…The practice of such modalities is booming [14,36], and although several individuals engage in these modalities because of their competitive component [45], there has been an increasing number of practitioners interested in the wellbeing and health benefits associated with these activities [2,33,35]. Previous studies showed that martial arts and combat sports can lead to improvements in cognition [11,15], cardiorespiratory fitness [16,26], musculoskeletal fitness [3,13], as well as in social relationships [22,30].…”

Study aim: Martial arts and combat sports have been an alternative for individuals seeking the health benefits of physical activity and exercise, but little is known about its practitioners’ quality of life. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the quality of life of practitioners of five of the most common modalities in Brazil. Material and methods: A total of 922 young men, competitive and recreational practitioners of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, karate, kung-fu, and taekwondo, answered the Brazilian version of the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. Results: The results for each domain – physical, psychological, social, and environmental – are, respectively, as follow (mean ± standard deviation): Brazilian jiu-jitsu: 74 ± 11, 75 ± 12, 77 ± 17, 67 ± 14; judo: 74 ± 13, 75 ± 12, 77 ± 15, 64 ± 12; karate: 76 ± 13, 75 ± 12, 78 ± 15, 64 ± 13; kung-fu: 77 ± 13, 75 ± 13, 74 ± 17, 65 ± 13; taekwondo: 76 ± 12, 76 ± 11, 78 ± 16, 64 ± 13; total: 75 ± 13, 75 ± 12, 77 ± 16, 65 ± 13. There was no difference between modalities and no interaction between modalities and experience level. All groups and the total sample presented higher values than the normative national data in the physical and psychological domains. This was also the case for the judo, karate, and taekwondo groups, as well as the total sample in the social domain, and for the Brazilian jiu-jitsu and the whole sample in the environmental domain. Additionally, in the whole sample competitors scored higher than recreational practitioners in the psychological domain. Conclusion: These findings reveal that the practice of these modalities is associated with higher quality of life than the normative values. Longitudinal studies are warranted for a better understanding of this association.
