“…14 Thus it becomes necessary for these athletes to develop both maximum and endurance strength be it either general or located in upper and lower members 16,36 different from the racquet sports which are characterized by intervals of handgrip use to stabilize the racquet in order to hit the ball and a brief rest until the next contact with it.…”

“…14,15 Therefore, adequate muscle strength and endurance are needed to perform and keep this specific movement efficiently. 16,17 Thus, the purpose of this study was to measure the KT acute effects on the handgrip maximum isometric strength (MIS) and strength endurance (SE) in healthy subjects who practice Brazilian jiu-jitsu or racquet sports.…”

Purpose: To measure the acute effects of Kinesio Taping (KT) on handgrip maximal isometric strength (MIS) and strength endurance (SE) in healthy athletes.Methods: Experimental study with repeated measures and randomization. 37 healthy men, in which 19 play racquet sports and 18 were Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) athletes. The subjects were submitted to three distinct taping conditions for the variables measurement. i. No taping application (GSB)ii. KT Application (GKT)iii. Placebo Taping Application (GBP)The variables MIS and SE were evaluated after the three conditions with JAMAR® handgrip dynamometer.Findings: No significant differences were found for the MIS (p=.38) and SE (p=.72) among the intervention arrangements. However, the BJJ athletes showed higher strength endurance than the racquet sports athletes (p=.02). Conclusion:The KT applied with 25% of tension was not superior to the placebo taping application or control condition for acute assessment of MIS and SE.

“…Upper-body dynamic and static strength endurance are fundamental to execute important technical actions such as grip dispute 1,2 which allows to control the opponent during both attack and defense 3,4 . Therefore, high levels of muscular strength are required for JJ athletes 5 , since this capacity is considered a determinant to sport success 1,2,6 . Therefore, the evaluation of upper body muscular strength seems to be a good strategy to predict an athlete's performance.…”

-The aim of the present study was to correlate two specific kimono grip strength tests (KGST) with elbow flexors and extensors isokinetic parameters in Jiu Jitsu (JJ) athletes. Fifteen male JJ athletes, from blue to black belt, participated in the study. The two KGST were: maximum static lift (MSL), and maximum number of repetitions (MNR), both gripping a kimono wrapped around a bar. Isokinetic tests consisted of three sets of 5 s elbow flexion-extension maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) in three different elbow angles (45, 90 and 120°), and two sets of five concentric-eccentric elbow flexion-extension maximum dynamic contractions at 60°·s -1 , to determine peak torque (PT). Absolute values of MSL and MNR were 41.4 ± 16.2 s and 10 ± 5 reps, respectively, and tests presented a nearly perfect correlation among them (r=0.91; p<0.001). Significant correlations were reported between MNR and PT during MVIC for elbow flexors at 45° and 90°, elbow extensors at 120°, and during concentric and eccentric dynamic contractions for both flexors and extensors. Therefore, KGST were highly correlated with isokinetic parameters, and were nearly perfect correlated among them, supporting that one of the tests could be chosen to evaluate strength in JJ athletes. The MNR test presented apparently higher levels of relation than MSL, and provided significant information about muscle strength endurance in JJ athletes.

Resumo -O objetivo do presente estudo foi correlacionar dois testes de força (Kimono Grip Strength Tests -KGST) com parâmetros isocinéticos de flexores e extensores do cotovelo em atletas de Jiu Jitsu (JJ). Quinze praticantes do sexo masculino, faixa azul à preta, participaram do estudo. Os dois KGST foram: máximo tempo de sustentação (MTS), e o máximo número de repetições (MNR), ambos com a pegada no kimono enrolado em uma barra fixa. O protocolo isocinético consistiu em três séries de 5 s de contração voluntária isométrica máxima (CVIM) para flexores e extensores do cotovelo, em três ângulos articulares

“…The match duration in the official championship for adults graded from blue belt is 5 min, purple belt 7 min, brown belt 8 min and black belt 10 min [3,4]. It is very similar to judo and wrestling in many aspects, although there are differences in these styles generally involving gripping, throwing, ground grappling, chokeholds, and joint locks [5].…”

“…In combat sports involving grappling, muscular strength is considered one of the most important physical components to be developed, through dynamic and static actions, specifically in upper limbs [5][6][7][8]. Such strength manifestations are vital in BJJ performance [5,8], specially to maintain the grip and to control the opponent, to perform new attacks, and defenses or counter-attack actions [8,10].…”

SummaryIntroduction. In combat sports involving grappling, muscular strength is considered one of the most important physical components to be developed, specifically in upper limbs. The objective of our study was to examine if there are differences between elite and non-elite Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners, in two kimono grip strength endurance tests.Material and methods. Forty Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners were divided in four groups: Advanced; Non-Advanced; Recreational and Beginners. All participants performed the kimono grip pull-up tests, both maximum static lift and maximum number of repetitions, until maximal volunteer fatigue with appropriated interval. A One Way analysis of variance was used to compare the groups. Tukey test was used as post hoc test.Results. There were no difference in maximum static lift and maximum number of repetitions tests between Advanced (18 ± 3 rep; 62 ± 14 s) and Non-Advanced (17 ± 3 rep; 60 ± 0 s). There was difference (p<0.05) in maximum static lift test between Recreational (43 ± 5 s) and Beginners (28 ± 9), but not in maximum number of repetitions test between Recreational (9 ± 3 rep) and Beginners (7 ± 3) respectively. Moreover, we observed differences (p>0.05) between both tests in the Recreational and Beginners groups compared with Advanced and Non-Advanced groups.Conclusions. We conclude that isometric kimono grip pull-up test is able to discriminate isometric strength endurance between 4 different levels of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu players groups, but dynamic kimono grip pull-up test only discriminate strength endurance with larger differences concerning practice levels.
