Key words: speed, running in a straight line and with a change of direction (running in a broken line), handball, judo SummaryIntroduction. Attempts at improving the efficiency of training methods in order to achieve sport mastery mainly consist in introducing changes in two types of training, i.e. technical and motor training. In the majority of sports, as far as motor skills are concerned, the speed of performing particular movements by a player has an enormous impact on a sport result. The process of speed formation has become one of the basic elements of sport training.Material and methods. Our study constitutes a comparison of the speed of moving of judo practitioners and handball players in the following two situations: running in a straight line and running with a change of direction (in a broken line). During the first trial, the subjects covered a distance of 30 meters in a straight line, while in the second trial the distance was also 30 meters measured in a straight line, but due to changes of direction the entire covered distance totalled 42 metres. The evaluation of the movement speed was supplemented by an analysis of differences between judo practitioners and handball players. The research material constituted results of examinations of 16 handball players of the First League club WKS Śląsk Wrocław and 14 judo practitioners (who had at least First Sporting Class) of the clubs KS AZS-AWF Wrocław and Gwardia Wrocław.Results. Judo practitioners in the trial of running at a distance of 30 meters in a straight line reached on average 4.33 seconds, while handball players 4.36 seconds. In the trial of running in a broken line handball players had better times, i.e. 11.31 seconds on average, while judo practitioners reached the time of 12.37 seconds. The difference between the obtained times in the trial of running in a broken line was statistically significant -in favour of handball players.Conclusions. The results of running in a straight line do not differentiate handball players and judo practitioners. On the other hand, in the trial of running in a broken line handball players had much better results which significantly statistically differentiated both of the groups of athletes.
