Postural control and physiological responses to a simulated match in U-20 judo competitors
2018
The aim was to evaluate the effects of judo combat on the athletes’ postural control (PC) and physiological loading before, during and after a simulated match. Seventeen under-20 regional and national level athletes completed one modified 7-min match. At baseline, during the combat (3rd and 7th minutes) and 2-min post-match centre of pressure (CoP) parameters were assessed. Heart rate (HR), blood lactate (BLa) and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and local RPE (LRPE) were collected. Significant increments were observed in CoP mean positioning and velocity at 3rd and 7th minutes, but the CoP deviation in both axes was unaffected. HR and BLa were elevated at 3rd and 7th minutes, and they re…
Use of heart rate variability in monitoring stress and recovery in judo athletes
2013
The main objective of this study was to examine the effect of different judo training loads on heart rate variability (HRV) measurements, to determine if they can be used as valid indicators in monitoring stress and recovery in judo athletes. Fourteen male national-standard judo athletes were randomly divided into 2 groups, and each group followed a different type of training, namely, a high training load (HTL) and a moderate training load program (MTL). Data collection included HRV measurements, a Recovery Stress Questionnaire for athletes (RESTQ-SPORT), and strength measurements, 4 weeks before and after the training program. The HTL group had lower square root of the mean squared differe…
The Role of Psychological Factors in Judo: A Systematic Review.
2022
(1) Background: Psychological parameters are relevant in the practice of judo. Previous studies have shown that parameters such as anxiety or motivation can have a negative or positive impact on the athlete’s performance and general well-being, depending on the athlete’s perception. This systematic review aimed to summarize the studies examining the influence of various psychological parameters on well-being and performance in judo athletes; (2) Methods: We followed preferred reporting elements for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. We searched the Web of Science database for studies that explained the role of these parameters in elite athletes. Of the 286 articles initially identified, …
Scientific literature analysis of Judo in Web of Science®
2013
Background & Study Aim: Although judo is a sport with great tradition that is practised worldwide, the state of the art and scientific advances have not been analysed from a bibliometric point of view up to now. The aim of the present article is the status of the scientific production, collaboration, and impact of scientific papers on judo, as well as the most active research groups working on this topic. Material & Methods: Our analysis was based on documents retrieved from the Science Citation Index and Social Science Citation Index. Bibliometric analysis and network construction were performed using Histcite and Bibexcel software. Results: As a result, 383 original papers and scientific …
“Some Women Are Born Fighters”: Discursive Constructions of a Fighter’s Identity by Female Finnish Judo Athletes
2017
Martial arts and combat sports have been traditionally associated with masculinity, and a range of contradictory meanings have been attached to women’s engagement and experiences. The present study draws on cultural praxis and feminist poststructuralist frameworks to explore how female martial artists are subjectified to dominant cultural discourses surrounding fighting and competition. Interviews with nine female judoka (judo athletes) were gathered in Finland and analyzed using Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA). The FDA revealed that in female judoka talk, judo was constructed as a sport for all, but also as a male domain and a manly sport with fighting and competition as innate mascul…
Anthropometrical profile of elite Spanish judoka: Comparative analysis among ages
2011
Background and Study Aim: Judo athletes usually try to maximize muscle mass and to minimize adiposity in each weight category, but few studies focused on comparisons of different age categories and little is known about sexual dimorphism among judo athletes. The aim of the study was to compare anthropometrical variables in male and female judoka from Spanish National Teams.
Análisis de las acciones técnicas de los judokas cadetes participantes en el campeonato de España.
2009
El entrenamiento del judoka dada su amplia estructura técnica, su dimensión táctica, su estructuración por categorías de peso y la incertidumbre creada por el adversario, muestra diversos y complejos aspectos a considerar, que deben ser analizados en situación real de competición. Desde esta perspectiva, la presente investigación tiene como objetivos identificar las características técnicas y tácticas de los judokas cadetes masculinos de nivel nacional, en cada una de las categorías de peso, a través del análisis de las acciones técnicas más utilizadas por los participantes en el campeonato de España de judo cadete. La muestra está formada por 128 judokas cadetes masculinos, de los que se a…
El proceso histórico de deportivización del judo: ilustración a través de los cambios en el reglamento de competición
2002
En el judo y las artes marciales japonesas coexisten dos tendencias: la de los practicantes que consideran su práctica como un deporte más, a todos los efectos, para los que el principal objetivo es la eficiencia en el combate, y la de los que buscan a través de su práctica conseguir objetivos de naturaleza espiritual, ligados a su perfeccionamiento personal como individuos. Con la deportivización del judo se ha producido un continuo cambio de sus reglas de competición, que ha condicionado su desarrollo técnico y su proceso de evolución histórica, al desaparecer los conceptos filosófico-morales que Kano desarrolló. Two trends co-exist today in judo and Japanese martial arts: one, more sport…
La práctica deportiva del judo: análisis sociológico de su implantación y desarrollo en la sociedad valenciana
2010
Este artículo es un resumen de la tesis doctoral que se leyó en el año 2005 en el Departamento de Sociología y Antropología Social de la Universitat de València. El objetivo del análisis se plantea desvelar, desde una perspectiva sociohistórica, la irrupción del judo en la sociedad valenciana y su evolución hasta nuestros días en el contexto de una sociedad ampliamente deportivizada. Desde una mirada cualitativa, fundamentada en el análisis de los discursos producidos por informantes clave, se aborda la imagen social del judo como cultura cambiante, la forma en que se organiza su práctica y los confines que la delimitan en el contexto de la actual sociedad postindustrial y postmoderna.
